Polytree: Applications, Related structures & Sumner's conjecture

In mathematics, and more specifically in graph theory, a polytree (also called directed tree, oriented tree or singly connected network) is a directed acyclic graph whose underlying undirected graph is a tree. In other words, a polytree is formed by assigning an orientation to each edge of a connected and acyclic undirected graph.
