In this work, we deal with the predecessors existence problems in sequential dynamical systems over directed graphs. The results given in this paper extend those existing for such systems over undirected graphs. In particular, we solve the problems on the existence, uniqueness and coexistence of predecessors of any given state vector, characterizing the Garden-of-Eden states at the same time. We are also able to provide a bound for the number of predecessors and Garden-of-Eden state vectors of any of these systems.
