Abstract:	In this paper we study reachability relations on vertices of digraphs, informally defined as follows. First, the weight of a walk is equal to the number of edges traversed in the direction coinciding with their orientation, minus the number of edges traversed in the direction opposite to their orientation. Then, a vertex $u$ is $R_k^+$ -related to a vertex $v$ if there exists a 0-weighted walk from $u$ to $v$ whose every subwalk starting at u has weight in the interval $[0,k]$ . Similarly, a vertex $u$ is $R_k^-$ -related to a vertex $v$ if there exists a 0-weighted walk from $u$ to $v$ whose every subwalk starting at $u$ has weight in the interval $[-k,0]$ . For all positive integers $k$ , the relations $R_k^+$ and $R_k^-$ are equivalence relations on the vertex set of a given digraph. We prove that, for transitive digraphs, properties of these relations are closely related to other properties such as having property $\mathbb{Z}$ , the number of ends, growth conditions, and vertex degree.
