      In the study of the competition graph of an acyclic digraph, there are two fundamental questions which were proposed by Roberts in 1978: One is to characterize the acyclic digraphs that have interval competition graphs and the other is to characterize the graphs which are competition graphs of acyclic digraphs.

      Determining whether a graph has a hamiltonian path or circuit is NP-complete . The problem remains NP-complete for cubic planar graphs , for maximal planar graphs , and for planar digraphs . It can be trivially solved in polynomial time for planar acyclic digraphs.
