Abstract. Given a digraph G=(V(G),A(G))${G=(V(G),A(G))}$, or more simply ( V , A ). Two digraphs G and G ' are hemimorphic if G ' is isomorphic to G or to its dual G*=(V,{(x,y):(y,x)∈A})${G^*=(V,\lbrace (x,y):(y,x)\in A\rbrace )}$. For x∈V${x\in V}$, denote dG+(x)=|{y∈V:(x,y)∈Aand(y,x)∉A}|$d_G^{+}(x)=\vert \lbrace y\in V: (x, y)\in A \text{and } {(y, x)\notin A\rbrace }\vert $ and dG-(x)=|{y∈V:(x,y)∉Aand(y,x)∈A}|${d_G^{-}(x)=\vert \lbrace y\in V: (x, y)\notin A \text{ and } (y, x)\in A\rbrace \vert }$. Given two digraphs G and H with the property that V(G)∩V(H)=∅${V(G)\cap V(H)=\emptyset }$, let v0∈V(G)${v_0\in V(G)}$. We say that we dilate v 0 by H if we replace v 0 by H , obtaining then a new digraph R satisfying: for all z∈V(G)∖{v0}${z\in V(G)\setminus \lbrace v_0\rbrace }$ and for all h∈V(H)${h\in V(H)}$ is (z,h)∈A(R)⇔(z,v0)∈A(G)${(z,h)\in A(R)\iff (z,v_0)\in A(G)}$ and (h,z)∈A(R)⇔(v0,z)∈A(G)${(h,z)\in A(R)\iff (v_0,z)\in A(G)}$. We say that the digraph R is obtained from G by dilating the vertex v 0 by the digraph H . Our main result is: let σ be an isomorphism from a digraph M onto a digraph M ' and v0∈V(M)${v_0\in V(M)}$ such that dM+(v0)≠dM-(v0)${d_M^{+}(v_0)\ne d_{M}^{-}(v_0)}$ and H , H ' be two digraphs. Consider the digraph R (resp. R ') obtained by dilating v 0 (resp. σ(v0)${\sigma (v_0)}$) in M (resp. in M ') by H (resp. H '). If R and R ' are hemimorphic and H and H ' are hemimorphic, then R and R ' are isomorphic and H and H ' are isomorphic. The main result generalizes those of Y. Boudabbous and J. Dammak and of M. Bouaziz and Y. Boudabbous.
