We analyse the problem when the coalescence of directed fans and directed cycles is non-derogatory. An expression for the characteristic polynomial of the coalescence of two digraphs is presented. We find a characterization of unicyclic non-derogatory digraphs in terms of hamiltonicity conditions. rv:
