The Ihara expression of a generalization of the weighted zeta function on a finite digraph

Abstract: We define a new weighted zeta function for a finite digraph and obtain its determinant expression called the Ihara expression. The graph zeta function is a generalization of the weighted graph zeta function introduced in previous research. That is, our result makes it possible to derive the Ihara expressions of the previous graph zeta functions for any finite digraphs.
