I would like to delete a vertex and all its children vertices in a directed graph. For example,

It doesn't work because removing a vertex invalidates existing vertex descriptors when vertices are stored in a vector. See also the second table in: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_49_0/libs/graph/doc/adjacency_list.html. You could use the following instead: typedef adjacency_list Graph;
