Abstract: Berge's conjecture from 1982 on path partitions in directed graphs generalizes and extends Dilworth's Theorem and the Greene-Kleitman Theorem which are well known for partially ordered sets. The conjecture relates path partitions to a collection of k independent sets, for each k ≥ 1. The conjecture is still open and intriguing for all k > 1. In this paper, we will survey partial results on the conjecture, look into different proof techniques for these results, and relate the conjecture to... (Update)
