THE ORIENTABLE NUMBERS OF A GRAPH

For a connected graph G, there are orientations of G have different hull numbers, geodetic numbers, and convexity numbers. The lower orientable hull number $h^-(G)$ is defined as the minimum hull number among all the orientations of G and the upper orientable hull number $h^+(G)$ as the maximum hull number among all the orientations of G. The lower and upper orientable geodetic numbers $g^-(G)$ and $g^+(G)$ are defined similarily. In this paper, We investigate characterizations of the orientable numbers and the conditions that the relation $h^-(G){\leq}g^-(G)$ < $h^+(G){\leq}g^+(G)$ holds.
