Quintas (editors), Quo Vadis, Graph Theory?: A Source Book for Challenges and Directions, Elsevier (North-Holland), page 313, 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."

Ngo (editor), Computing and Combinatorics: 15th Annual International Conference, Proceedings, Springer, LNCS 5609, page 76, Determining whether a graph has a hamiltonian path or circuit is NP-complete [3]. The problem remains NP-complete for cubic planar graphs [3], for maximal planar graphs [9], and for planar digraphs [3]. It can be trivially solved in polynomial time for planar acyclic digraphs."
