An ( s, t )‐directed star is a directed graph with s + t + 1 vertices and s + t arcs; s vertices have indegree zero and outdegree one, t have indegree one and outdegree zero, and one has indegree s and outdegree t . An ( s, t )‐directed star decomposition is a partition of the arcs of a complete directed graph of order n into ( s, t )‐directed starsx. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions on s, t , and n for an ( s, t )‐directed star decomposition of order n to exist.
