Mayr, Gunther Schmidt, Gottfried Tinhofer (editors), Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science: 20th International Workshop, Proceedings, Springer, LNCS 903, page 121, A subset S of the vertices of a directed acyclic graph is called glb-closed, if it contains the greatest lower bounds of all pairs of vertices of S. […] Directed acyclic graphs are widely used in different areas of computer science.
- In studying these properties, a distinction is made between directed acyclic graphs with directed edges and simple acyclic graphs with undirected edges.[…]A directed acyclic graph G#61;(V#59;R) is asymmetric and does not contain cycles.2001, Peter J.
