2-Competition Index of Primitive Digraphs Using Graph Theory

Recently,scrambling index and competition index are widely applied to stochastic matrices and food webs. By analyzing the relationship of scrambling index and 2-competition index,n-「d/2」+ 1 was proved to be an upper bound of the 2-competition2 index of a primitive digraph with exact d loops in this article.Moreover,the maximum index problem and the index set problem for the 2-competition index of primitive digraphs with minimally strong digraphs were settled.
