Popis: We characterize the graphs for which all 2-connected non-bipartite subgraphs have a strongly connected orientation in which each directed circuit has an odd number of edges. We also give a polynomial-time algorithm to find such an orientation in these graphs. Moreover, we give an algorithm that given any orientation of such a graph, determines if it has an even directed circuit. The proofs of these results are based on a constructive characterization of these graphs.
