Abstract:

I will first present a generalization of split graphs to the directed case and show how these split digraphs can be identified solely by their degree sequences. I will then show how their structure appears in the uniform sampling of directed graphs from a fixed degree sequence, and conclude with a discussion of threshold digraphs and their relation to split digraphs via a partial ordering on the space of directed degree sequences.
