Abstract

In the study of design theory, there are eight orientations of the complete graph on three vertices with a pendant edge, K3∪{e}. Two of these are the 3-circuit with a pendant arc and the other six are transitive triples with a pendant arc. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for decompositions, packings and coverings of the complete digraph with each of the six transitive triples with a pendant arc.
