Abstract

We address the last outstanding case of the directed Oberwolfach problem with two tables of different lengths. Specifically, we show that the complete symmetric directed graph $K^*_n$ admits a decomposition into spanning subdigraphs comprised of two vertex-disjoint directed cycles of length $t_1$ and $t_2$, respectively, where $t_1\in \{4,6\}$, $t_2$ is even, and $t_1+t_2\geqslant 14$. In conjunction with recent results of Kadri and Šajna, this gives a complete solution to the directed Oberwolfach problem with two tables of different lengths.
