Failed zero forcing and critical sets on directed graphs
Let $D$ be a simple digraph (directed graph) with vertex set $V(D)$ and arc set $A(D)$ where $n=|V(D)|$, and each arc is an ordered pair of distinct vertices. If $(v,u) \in A(D)$, then $u$ is considered an \emph{out-neighbor} of $v$ in $D$. Initially, we designate each vertex to be either filled or...

Zusammenfassung: | Let $D$ be a simple digraph (directed graph) with vertex set $V(D)$ and arc
set $A(D)$ where $n=|V(D)|$, and each arc is an ordered pair of distinct
vertices. If $(v,u) \in A(D)$, then $u$ is considered an \emph{out-neighbor} of
$v$ in $D$. Initially, we designate each vertex to be either filled or empty.
Then, the following color change rule (CCR) is applied: if a filled vertex $v$
has exactly one empty out-neighbor $u$, then $u$ will be filled. The process
continues until the CCR does not allow any empty vertex to become filled. If
all vertices in $V(D)$ are eventually filled, then the initial set is called a
\emph{zero forcing set} (ZFS); if not, it is a \emph{failed zero forcing set}
(FZFS). We introduce the \emph{failed zero forcing number} $F(D)$ on a digraph,
which is the maximum cardinality of any FZFS. The \emph{zero forcing number},
$Z(D)$, is the minimum cardinality of any ZFS. We characterize digraphs that
have $F(D) |
