Disjoint cycles with different length in 4-arc-dominated digraphs

A d$d$-arc-dominated digraph is a digraph D$D$ of minimum out-degree d$d$ such that for every arc (x,y)$(x,y)$ of D$D$, there exists a vertex u$u$ of D$D$ of out-degree d$d$ such that (u,x)$(u,x)$ and (u,y)$(u,y)$ are arcs of D$D$. Henning and Yeo [Vertex disjoint cycles of different length in digraphs, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 26 (2012) 687–694] conjectured that a digraph with minimum out-degree at least four contains two vertex-disjoint cycles of different length. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for 4-arc-dominated digraphs.
