If the arc~$\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$ is in~$T_{n}$, then we say that $p_{i}$ \emph{dominates}~$p_{j}$ (symbolically, $p_{i} \Dom p_{j}$). The relation of dominance thus defined is a \index{Dominance relation}% complete, irreflexive, antisymmetric, binary relation. The \emph{score} of~$p_{i}$ is the \index{Score of a node}% number~$s_{i}$ of nodes that $p_{i}$~dominates. The \emph{score vector} of $T_{n}$ is the ordered \index{Score vector}% $n$-tuple $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_n)$. We usually assume that the nodes are labeled in such a way that $s_1 \leq s_2 \leq \dots \leq s_n$. Tournaments provide a model of the statistical technique called the \emph{method of paired comparisons}. This method is applied when there are a \index{Paired comparisons, the method of}% number of objects to be judged on the basis of some criterion and it is impracticable to consider them all simultaneously. The objects are compared two at a time and one member of each pair is chosen. This method and related topics are discussed in David (1963) and Kendall (1962). Tournaments \index[xauthor]{David, H. A.}% \index[xauthor]{Kendall, M. G.}% have also been studied in connection with sociometric relations in small groups. A survey of some of these investigations is given by Coleman \index[xauthor]{Coleman, J. S.}% (1960). Our main object here is to derive various structural and combinatorial properties of tournaments. \Exercises \Ex{1.} {\Loosen Two tournaments are \emph{isomorphic} if there exists a one-to-one dominance-preserving \index{Isomorphic tournaments}% correspondence between their nodes. The non\-isomorphic tournaments with three and four nodes are illustrated in \Figure{1}. Determine} \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic[\textwidth]{fig1} \FCaption{Figure 1} \end{figure} the number of ways of assigning the labels to the nodes of these tournaments and verify that there are a total of $2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}$ labeled tournaments~$T_{n}$ when $n = 3$,~$4$. \Ex{2.} The \emph{complement} of a tournament is obtained by reversing the orientation \index{Complement of a tournament}% of all its arcs. A tournament is \emph{self-complementary} if it is isomorphic to its \index{Self-complementary tournament}% \PageSep{2}% complement. Show that self-complementary\Erratum{}{ cyclic} tournaments~$T_{n}$ exist if and only if $n$~is odd.\Erratum{}{ A tournament is \emph{cyclic}, in the present context, if it is isomorphic to itself under some cyclic permutation of the labels of its node.} [Sachs (1965).] \index[xauthor]{Sachs, H.}% \Section{2.}{Irreducible Tournaments} \index{Irreducible tournament}% A tournament~$T_{n}$ is \emph{reducible} if it is possible to partition its nodes into \index{Reducible tournament}% two nonempty sets $B$~and~$A$ in such a way that all the nodes in~$B$ dominate all the nodes in~$A$; the tournament is \emph{irreducible} if this is not possible. It is very easy to determine whether a tournament~$T_{n}$ is reducible; if $(s_1, s_2, \dots, s_n)$ is the score vector of~$T_n$ and $s_1 \leq s_2 \leq \dots \leq s_n$, then $T_{n}$~is reducible if and \index{Score vector}% only if the equation \[ \sum_{i=1}^k s_i = \binom{k}{2} \] holds for some value of~$k$ less than~$n$. The (dominance) \emph{matrix of the tournament~$T_{n}$} is the $n$~by~$n$ matrix $M(T_{n}) = [a_{ij}]$ \index{Matrix!of a tournament}% in which $a_{ij}$~is~$1$ if $p_{i} \Dom p_{j}$ and $0$~otherwise. All the diagonal entries are~$0$. A tournament matrix satisfies the equation \[ M + M^T = J - I, \] where $J$~is the matrix of~$1$'s and $I$~is the identity matrix. If the tournament~$T_{n}$ is reducible and the scores $s_i = \sum_{j=1}^n a_{ij}$ are in nondecreasing order, then its matrix has the structure \[ M(T_n) = \left| \begin{array}{c|c} M_1 & 0 \\ \hline \Strut 1 & M_2 \end{array} \right|, \] where $M_1$~and~$M_2$ are the matrices of the tournaments defined by the sets $A$~and~$B$ of the preceding paragraph. There are $2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}$~labeled tournaments~$T_n$. We now derive an approximation for~$P(n)$, the probability that a random tournament~$T_{n}$ is irreducible. Every reducible tournament~$T_n$ has a unique decomposition into irreducible subtournaments $T^{(1)}$, $T^{(2)}$,~\dots, $T^{(l)}$ such that every node in~$T^{(j)}$ dominates every node in~$T^{(i)}$ if $1 \leq i \leq j \leq l$. The probability that $T^{(1)}$~has $t$~nodes is \[ \frac{\dbinom{n}{t} P(t) 2^{\ebinom{t}{2}} 2^{\ebinom{n-t}{2}}}{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}} = \binom{n}{t} P(t) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t(n - t)}. \] For each of the $\dbinom{n}{t}$~subsets of $t$~nodes, there are $P(t) 2^{\ebinom{t}{2}}$ possible choices \PageSep{3}% for~$T^{(1)}$; the $\dbinom{n - t}{2}$~arcs joining the remaining $n - t$ nodes may be oriented arbitrarily. It is possible for $t$ to be any positive integer less than~$n$. It follows that \[ P(n) = 1 - \sum_{t=1}^{n-1} \binom{n}{t} P(t) \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t(n-t)}, \Tag{(1)} \] since these cases are mutually exclusive. R.~A.

It follows from~\Eq{(1)} that \[ P(n) > 1 - 2n \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{n-1} - \binom{n}{2} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2(n-2)} - \sum_{t=3}^{n-3} \binom{n}{t} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{t(n-t)}. \] The terms in the sum are largest for the extreme values of~$t$. Consequently, \[ P(n) > 1 - n(\nf{1}{2})^{n-2} - n^{2}(\nf{1}{2})^{2n-3} + \left(n(\nf{1}{2})^{2n-3} - (n - 5) \binom{n}{3} (\nf{1}{2})^{3n-9}\right). \] If $n \geq 14$, then \[ P(n) > 1 - n(\nf{1}{2})^{n-2} - n^{2}(\nf{1}{2})^{2n-3}, \Tag{(2)} \] since the expression within the parenthesis is positive. To obtain an upper bound for~$P(n)$, we retain only the three largest terms in the sum in~\Eq{(1)}. Therefore, \[ P(n) < 1 - n(\nf{1}{2})^{n-1} - nP(n - 1) (\nf{1}{2})^{n-1} - \binom{n}{2} P(n - 2) (\nf{1}{2})^{2(n-2)}. \] \PageSep{4}% If $n - 2 \geq 14$, we can use inequality~\Eq{(2)} to bound $P(n - 1)$ and $P(n - 2)$ from below; the resulting expression may be simplified to yield the inequality \[ P(n) < 1 - n(\nf{1}{2})^{n-2} + n^{2} (\nf{1}{2})^{2n-3}. \Tag{(3)} \] \ThmRef{1} now follows from \Eq{(2)},~\Eq{(3)}, and the data in \Table{1}. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Verify that $P(3) = \nf{1}{4}$ and $P(4) = \nf{3}{8}$ by examining the tournaments in \Figure{1}. \Ex{2.} Deduce inequality~\Eq{(3)} from the two preceding inequalities. \Ex{3.} Prove that $T_{n}$~is irreducible if the difference between \index{Irreducible tournament}% every two scores in~$T_{n}$ is less than $\nf{1}{2} n$.

If $T_{n}$~is reducible, then it is obviously not strong. If $T_{n}$~is not strong, then for some node~$p$ the set \[ A = \{p\} \cup \Gamma(p) \cup \Gamma^{2}(p) \cup \dots \cup \Gamma^{n-1}(p) \] does not include all the nodes of~$T_{n}$. But then all the nodes not in~$A$ must dominate all the nodes in~$A$; consequently $T_{n}$~is reducible. In view of the equivalence between strong connectedness and irreducibility, it is a simple matter to determine whether or not a given tournament is strongly connected by using the observation in the introduction to \SecRef{2}. For types of graphs other than tournaments in which, for example, not every pair of nodes is joined by an arc, it is sometimes convenient to use the properties of matrix multiplication to deal with problems of connectedness. \index{Matrix!of a tournament}% \Exercises \Ex{1.} Show that the tournament~$T_{n}$ is strong if and only if all the entries in the matrix \[ M(T_{n}) \dotplus M^{2}(T_{n}) \dotplus \dots \dotplus M^{n-1}(T_{n}) \] are~$1$s.

[Their argument was a refinement of the argument Camion (1959) used to prove that a \index[xauthor]{Camion, P.}% tournament~$T_{n}$ ($n \geq 3$) contains a spanning cycle if and only if it is irreducible.] The following slightly stronger result is proved in essentially the same way. \begin{Theorem}{3.} Each node of an irreducible tournament~$T_{n}$ is contained in some $k$-cycle, for $k = 3, 4, \dots, n$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. Let $a$~be an arbitrary node of the irreducible tournament~$T_{n}$. There must be some arc~$\Arc{pq}$ in~$T_{n}$ where $q \to a$ and $a \to p$; otherwise $T_{n}$ would be reducible. Consequently, node~$a$ is contained in some $3$-cycle. Let \[ C = \{\Arc{ab}, \Arc{bc}, \dots, \Arc{lm}, \Arc{ma}\Typo{,}{}\} \] be a $k$-cycle containing the node~$a$, where $3 \leq k < n$. We shall show that there also exists a $(k + 1)$-cycle containing~$a$. We first suppose there exists some node~$p$ not in the cycle such that $p$ both dominates and is dominated by nodes that are in the cycle. Then there must be two consecutive nodes of the cycle, $e$~and~$f$ say, such that $e \to p$ and $p \to f$. We can construct a $(k + 1)$-cycle containing node~$a$ simply by replacing the arc~$\Arc{ef}$ of~$C$ by the arcs $\Arc{ep}$ and~$\Arc{pf}$. (This case is illustrated in \Figure{2}(a).) \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic{fig2} \FCaption{Figure 2} \end{figure} Now let $A$ and $B$ denote, respectively, the sets of nodes of~$T_{n}$ not in cycle~$C$ that dominate, or are dominated by, every node of~$C$. We may assume that every node of~$T_{n}$ not in~$C$ belongs either to $A$ or to~$B$. Since $T_{n}$~is irreducible, both $A$ and~$B$ must be nonempty and some node~$u$ of~$B$ \PageSep{7} must dominate some node~$v$ of~$A$. But then we can construct a $(k + 1)$-cycle containing node~$a$ by replacing the arcs $\Arc{ab}$ and $\Arc{be}$ of~$C$ by the arcs $\Arc{au}$,~$\Arc{uv}$, and~$\Arc{vc}$. (This case is illustrated in \Figure{2}(b).)

The following result is due to Beineke and Harary (1965). \index[xauthor]{Beineke, L. W.}% \index[xauthor]{Harary, F.}% \begin{Theorem}{4.} If $[x]$ denotes the greatest integer not exceeding~$x$, then \[ S(n, k) = \binom{n}{k} - \left[\frac{1}{2}(n + 1)\right] \binom{[\nf{1}{2} n]}{k - 1} - \left[\frac{1}{2}n\right] \binom{[\nf{1}{2}(n - 1)]}{k - 1}. \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. Let $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ be the score vector of a tournament~$T_{n}$. The \index{Score vector}% number of strong subtournaments~$T_{k}$ in~$T_{n}$ certainly cannot exceed \[ \binom{n}{k} - \sum_{i=1}^{n} \binom{s_{i}}{k - 1}. \] This is because the terms subtracted from~$\dbinom{n}{k}$, the total number of subtournaments~$T_{k}$ in~$T_{n}$, enumerate those subtournaments~$T_{k}$ in which one node dominates all the remaining $k - 1$ nodes; such tournaments are certainly not strong. It is a simple exercise to show that the sum attains its minimum value when the~$s_{i}$'s are as nearly equal as possible. Consequently, \[ S(n, k) \leq \binom{n}{k} - \left[\frac{1}{2}(n + 1)\right] \binom{[\nf{1}{2} n]}{k - 1} - \left[\frac{1}{2}n\right] \binom{[\nf{1}{2}(n - 1)]}{k - 1}. \] To show that equality actually holds, it suffices to exhibit a regular \index{Regular tournament}% tournament~$R_{n}$ with the following property. % [** TN: List indentation added with author's approval] \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] Every subtournament~$T_{k}$ of~$R_{n}$ is either strong or has one node that \index{Subtournament}% dominates all the remaining $k - 1$ nodes. \end{itemize} If $n$~is odd, let $R_{n}$~denote the regular tournament in which $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ if and only if $0 < j - i \leq (n - 1)/2$ (the subtraction is modulo~$n$). We shall show that $R_{n}$~has the following property. \begin{itemize} \item[(b)] Every subtournament~$T_{k}$ of~$R_{n}$ either is strong or has no cycles. \index{Cycles in a tournament}% \end{itemize} Property~(b) holds for any tournament when $k = 3$. We next show that it holds for~$R_{n}$ when $k = 4$. If it did not, then $R_{n}$~would contain a subtournament~$T_{4}$ consisting of a $3$-cycle and an additional node that either dominates every node of the cycle or is dominated by every node of the cycle. We may suppose that the former is the case without loss of generality. Let $p_{1}$,~$p_{i}$ and $p_{j}$ be the nodes of the cycle, proceeding according to its orientation, and let $p_{k}$~be the fourth node of~$T_{4}$. Then $i \leq 1 + \nf{1}{2}(n - 1)$, $j \leq i + \nf{1}{2}(n - 1)$, $j > 1 + \nf{1}{2}(n - 1)$, and $n \geq k > i + \nf{1}{2}(n - 1)$, from the definition of~$R_{n}$. \PageSep{9} Hence, $n \geq k > j > \nf{1}{2}(n + 1)$, and $p_{j}$~must dominate~$p_{k}$ in $R_{n}$ and~$T_{4}$. This contradiction shows that $R_{n}$~satisfies~(b) when $k = 4$. If $n$~is even, let $R_{n}$~denote the regular tournament in which $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ if and only if $0 < j - i \leq \nf{1}{2} n$ (the subtraction is modulo~$n + 1$). This tournament satisfies~(b) when $k = 3$ or~$4$, since it is a subtournament of the tournament~$R_{n+1}$ defined earlier with an odd number of nodes. Let $T_{k}$~be any subtournament with $k$~nodes of~$R_{n}$ ($k > 4$). If $T_{k}$~has any cycles at all, then it must have a $3$-cycle~$C$. If $T_{k}$~is not strong, then there must be a node~$p$ that either dominates every node of~$C$ or is dominated by every node of~$C$. In either case, this would imply the existence of a subtournament~$T_{4}$ in~$R_{n}$ that is not strong but which has a cycle. This contradicts the result just established. Hence, every subtournament~$T_{k}$ of~$R_{n}$ is either strong or has no cycles. We have shown that the regular tournament~$R_{n}$ has Property~(b). It is easy to show that Property~(b) implies Property~(a), so the theorem is now proved. There are only two different types of tournaments~$T_{3}$ (see \Figure{1}); it follows that equality holds in the second statement in the proof of \ThmRef{4} when $k = 3$. This implies the following result, found by Kendall and \index[xauthor]{Kendall, M. G.}% Babington Smith (1940), Szele (1943), Clark [see Gale (1964)], and others. \index[xauthor]{Clark, A.

It seems \index[xauthor]{Colombo, U.}% to be difficult to obtain corresponding results for cycles of length greater than four. (See Exercise~3 at the end of \SecRef{10}.) The following result is proved by summing the equation in \ThmRef{4} over~$k$. \begin{Corollary} The maximum number of strong subtournaments with at least three nodes in any tournament~$T_{n}$ is \[ \begin{cases} 2^{n} - n2^{(1/2)(n - 1)} - 1 & \text{if $n$~is odd,} \\ 2^{n} - 3n2^{(1/2)(n - 4)} - 1 & \text{if $n$~is even.} \end{cases} \] \end{Corollary} \PageSep{10} Let $s(n, k)$ denote the minimum number of strong subtournaments~$T_{k}$ that a strong tournament~$T_{n}$ can have. (If $T_{n}$~is not strong, then it need not have any nontrivial strong subtournaments.) Moon (1966) discovered the \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% following result. \begin{Theorem}{5.} If $3 \leq k \leq n$, then $s(n, k) = n - k + 1$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. We first show that $s(n, k) \geq n - k + 1$. This inequality certainly holds when $n = k$ for any fixed value of~$k$. It follows from \ThmRef{3} that any strong tournament~$T_{n}$ has a strong subtournament~$T_{n-1}$. Now $T_{n-1}$~has at least $s(n - 1, k)$ strong subtournaments~$T_{k}$ by definition and the node not in~$T_{n-1}$ is in at least one $k$-cycle. This $k$-cycle determines a strong subtournament~$T_{k}$ not contained in~$T_{n-1}$. Consequently, \[ s(n, k) \geq s(n - 1, k) + 1. \] The earlier inequality now follows by induction on~$n$. To show that $s(n, k) < n - k + 1$, consider the tournament~$T_{n}$ in which $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ when $i = j - 1$ or $i \geq j + 2$. (This tournament is illustrated in \Figure{3}.) It is easy to see that this tournament has precisely $n - k + 1$ strong subtournaments~$T_{k}$ if $3 \leq k \leq n$.

Hence, the presence of cycles in the tournament representing the outcomes of the comparisons indicates inconsistency on the part of the judge or that the underlying assumption is inappropriate. Kendall and Babington Smith (1940) proposed the number \index[xauthor]{Kendall, M. G.}% \index[xauthor]{Smith, B.

In a tournament~$T_{n}$, let the variable $t(ijk)$ be $1$~or~$0$ according as the distinct nodes $p_{i}$,~$p_{j}$, and~$p_{k}$ do or do not determine a $3$-cycle. Since only two of the eight equally likely ways of orienting the arcs joining these nodes yield a $3$-cycle, it follows that $E[t(ijk)] = \nf{1}{4}$. Therefore, \[ \mu' = E(c_{n}) = \frac{1}{4} \binom{n}{3}. \] If $r(ijk) = t(ijk) - \nf{1}{4}$, then \[ \sigma^{2} = E\bigl[(c_{n} - \mu')^{2}\bigr] = E\bigl[\bigl(\sum r(ijk)\bigr)^{2}\bigr], \] where the sum is over the triples $i$,~$j$, and~$k$. The products in this expansion are of the following types: \[ r(ijk) · r(ijk),\quad r(ijk) · r(ijw),\quad r(ijk) · r(ivw),\quad\text{and}\quad r(ijk) · r(uvw). \] The variables appearing in each of the last two products are independent; hence, the expectation of their product equals the product of their individual expectations, zero. The variables in the second product are also independent, since the probability that three nodes form a $3$-cycle is still~$\nf{1}{4}$, even when the orientation of one of the arcs joining them is specified. Thus the only nonzero contributions to~$\sigma^{2}$ come from products of the first type. Therefore, \[ \sigma^{2} = \binom{n}{3} E\bigl[r(ijk)^{2}\bigr] = \frac{3}{16} \binom{n}{3}. \] We shall now show that for each fixed positive integer~$h$ \[ \Inum{(i)} \frac{\mu_{2h}}{\sigma^{2h}} \to \frac{(2h)!}{2^{h} h!} \quad\text{and}\quad \Inum{(ii)} \frac{\mu_{2h+1}}{\sigma^{2h+1}} \to 0 \] as $n$~tends to infinity ($\mu_{k}$~denotes the $k$th central moment of~$c_{n}$). It will then follow from the second limit theorem of probability theory [see Kendall \index[xauthor]{Kendall, M. G.}% and Stuart (1958, p.~115)] that the distribution of $(c_{n} - \mu')/\sigma$ tends to the \index[xauthor]{Stuart, A.}% normal distribution with zero mean and unit variance. If we combine all terms in the expansion of $\mu_{2h} = E\bigl[\bigl(\sum r(ijk)\bigr)^{2h}\bigr]$ in which similar combinations of values of $i$,~$j$, and~$k$ occur, as we did earlier for the second moment, the number of times terms of a given type appear will be a polynomial in~$n$ whose degree equals the number of different values of $i$,~$j$, and~$k$ that occur in the terms. Therefore, $\mu_{2h}$~is a polynomial in~$n$ whose coefficients depend only on~$h$. To calculate its degree and leading coefficient, we must identify the terms with a nonzero expectation in the expansion that involve the largest number of different values of the indices $i$,~$j$, and~$k$. \PageSep{13} We may suppose that each term in the expansion has been split into classes of products such that different classes of the same term have no indices in common; we may also suppose that any factor in a class of more than one factor has at least one index in common with at least one other factor in the same class. If a term contains a factor~$r$ involving one or more indices that occur nowhere else in the term, then the term has expectation zero, since $r$~is independent of the remaining factors in the term. Hence, if a term is to have a nonzero expectation, each index in it must occur at least twice. We need only consider terms in which each index occurs exactly twice, because, as we shall show, the leading term in~$\mu_{2h}$ is of order~$3h$. Suppose such a term contains fewer than $h$ classes. Some class of this term must contain at least three different factors. For any factor~$r(ijk)$ of this class, either the indices $i$,~$j$, and~$k$ occur in three other factors or one index, $i$~say, occurs in another factor and $j$~and~$k$ occur together in another. In either case $r(ijk)$~is independent of the remaining factors and the expectation of the term is zero. Consequently, the terms with a nonzero expectation that involve the largest number of different values of $i$,~$j$, and~$k$ are of the type $\prod_{\nu=1}^{h} r(i_{v}j_{v}k_{v})^{2}$. There are \[ \frac{(2h)!}{2^{h} h!} \binom{n}{3} \binom{n - 3}{3} \dots \binom{n - 3(h - 1)}{3} \] % [** TN: Slant fractions in the original] terms of this type and the expected value of each is~$(3/16)^{h}$. Therefore, \[ \mu_{2h} = \frac{(2h)!}{2^{6h} h!} n^{3h} + O(n^{3h-1}). \] Since \[ \sigma^{2h} = \frac{n^{3h}}{2^{5h}} + O(n^{3h-1}), \] it follows that (i)~holds for each fixed positive integer~$h$ as $n$~tends to infinity. Similarly, if a term in the expansion of~$\mu_{2h+1}$ is to have a nonzero expectation, each index in it must occur at least twice. Hence, $\mu_{2h+1}$~is a polynomial in~$n$ of degree at most $\bigl[3(2h + 1)/2\bigr] = 3h + 1$. Since $\sigma^{2h+1}$~is of degree $3h + 3/2$ in~$n$, it follows that (ii)~also holds for each fixed positive integer~$h$ as $n$~tends to infinity. This completes the proof of the theorem. Notice that the expected value of~$c_{n}$ is asymptotically equal to the maximum value of~$c_{n}$ (see the first corollary to \ThmRef{4}). This \Typo{phenomenom}{phenomenon} occurs frequently in problems of this type.

Transitive tournaments have a very simple structure. The following theorem \PageSep{15} gives some properties of a transitive tournament~$T_{n}$ whose scores $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ are in nondecreasing order. \begin{Theorem}{9.} The following statements are equivalent. (1) $T_{n}$ is transitive. (2) Node~$p_{j}$ dominates node~$p_{i}$ if and only if $j > i$. (3) $T_{n}$~has score vector $(0, 1, \dots, n - 1)$. \index{Score of a node}% \index{Score vector}% (4) The score vector of~$T_{n}$ satisfies the equation \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n} s_{i}^{2} = \frac{n(n - 1)(2n - 1)}{6}. \] (5) $T_{n}$~contains no cycles.

The following question arises: What is the largest integer $v = v(n)$ such that every tournament~$T_{n}$ contains a transitive subtournament~$T_{v}$? Erdös and Moser (\Erratum{1964}{1964a}) \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% gave the following bounds for~$v(n)$. [The lower bound was first found by Stearns (unpublished).] \index[xauthor]{Stearns, R.}% \begin{Theorem}{10.} $[\log_{2} n] + 1 \leq v(n) \leq [2\log_{2} n] + 1$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. Consider a tournament~$T_{n}$ in which the node~$p_{n}$ has the largest score~$s_{n}$. It must be that $s_{n} \geq [\nf{1}{2} n]$, so there certainly exists a subtournament $T_{[(1/2)n]}$ in~$T_{n}$ each node of which is dominated by~$p_{n}$. We may suppose that this subtournament contains a transitive subtournament with at least $\bigl[\log_{2} [\nf{1}{2} n]\bigr] + 1$ nodes. These nodes together with~$p_{n}$ determine a transitive subtournament of~$T_{n}$ with at least \[ \bigl[\log_{2} [\nf{1}{2} n]\bigr] + 2 = [\log_{2} n] + 1 \] nodes. The lower bound now follows by induction. There are $2^{\ebinom{n}{2} - \ebinom{v}{2}}$ tournaments~$T_{n}$, containing a given transitive subtournament~$T_{v}$, and there are $\dbinom{n}{v} v!$ such subtournaments~$T_{v}$ possible. Therefore, \[ \binom{n}{v} v! 2^{\ebinom{n}{2} - \ebinom{v}{2}} \geq 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}, \] {\Loosen since every tournament~$T_{n}$ contains at least one transitive subtournament~$T_{v}$. \PageSep{16} This inequality implies that $n^{v} \geq 2^{\ebinom{v}{2}}$. Consequently, $v \leq [2\log_{2} n] + 1$, and theorem is proved.} The exact value of~$v(n)$ is known only for some small values of~$n$. For example, $v(7) \geq 3$ by \ThmRef{10}. The tournament~$T_{7}$ in which $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ if and only if $j - i$ is a quadratic residue modulo~$7$ contains no transitive subtournament~$T_{4}$. It follows that $v(7) = 3$. Bent (1964) examined other \index[xauthor]{Bent, D. H.}% similarly constructed tournaments and deduced the information about~$v(n)$ given in \Table{2}. Erdös and Moser conjecture that $v(n) = [\log_{2} n] + 1$ \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% for all~$n$. \begin{table}[hbt!] \TCaption{Table 2. $v(n)$, the largest integer~$v$ such that every tournament~$T_{n}$ contains a transitive subtournament~$T_{v}$.} \begin{align*} % [** TN: No punctuation in the original] v(2) &= v(3) = 2 \\ v(4) &= \dots = v(7) = 3 \\ v(8) &= \dots = v(11) = 4 \\ 4 \leq v(12) &\leq \dots \leq v(15) \leq 5 \\ v(16) &= \dots = v(23) = 5 \\ 5 \leq v(24) &\leq \dots \leq v(31) \leq 7 \\ 6 \leq v(32) &\leq \dots \leq v(43) \leq 7 \end{align*} \end{table} Moon (1966) found the next two theorems. \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% Let $u(n, k)$ denote the maximum number of transitive subtournaments~$T_{k}$ that a strong tournament~$T_{n}$ can have. (The problem is trivial if $T_{n}$~is \index{Strong tournament}% not strong.) \begin{Theorem}{11.} If $3 \leq k \leq n$, then $u(n, k) = \dbinom{n}{k} - \dbinom{n - 2}{k - 2}$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. When $k = 3$ the theorem follows from \ThmRef{5}, since every subtournament~$T_{3}$ is either strong or transitive. We now show that $u(n, k) \leq \dbinom{n}{k} - \dbinom{n - 2}{k - 2}$ for any larger fixed value of~$k$. This inequality certainly holds when $n = k$. If $n > k \geq 4$, then any strong tournament~$T_{n}$ contains a strong subtournament~$T_{n-1}$ by \ThmRef{3}. Let $p$~be the node not in~$T_{n-1}$; there are at most $u(n - 1, k - 1)$ transitive subtournaments~$T_{k}$ of~$T_{n}$ that contain the node~$p$ and at most $u(n - 1, k)$ that do not. We may suppose \[ u(n - 1, k - 1) \leq \binom{n - 1}{k - 1} - \binom{n - 3}{k - 3} \] and \[ u(n - 1, k) \leq \binom{n - 1}{k} - \binom{n - 3}{k - 2}. \] \PageSep{17} Therefore, \begin{align*} u(n, k) &\leq u(n - 1, k - 1) + u(n - 1, k)\displaybreak[0] \\ &\leq \binom{n - 1}{k - 1} + \binom{n - 1}{k} - \binom{n - 3}{k - 3} - \binom{n - 3}{k - 2}\displaybreak[0] \\ &= \binom{n}{k} - \binom{n - 2}{k - 2}. \end{align*} The inequality now follows by induction. To show that $u(n, k) \geq \dbinom{n}{k} - \dbinom{n - 2}{k - 2}$ consider the strong tournament~$T_{n}$ in which $p_{1} \to p_{n}$ but otherwise $p_{j} \to p_{i}$ if $j > i$. (This tournament is illustrated in \Figure{4}.) This tournament has exactly $\dbinom{n}{k} - \dbinom{n - 2}{k - 2}$ transitive subtournaments~$T_{k}$ if $3 \leq k \leq n$, because every subtournament~$T_{k}$ is transitive except those containing both $p_{1}$ and~$p_{n}$. This completes the proof of the theorem. \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic[0.75in]{fig4} \FCaption{Figure 4} \end{figure} \begin{Corollary} The maximum number of transitive subtournaments a strong tournament~$T_{n}$ ($n \geq 3$) can contain, including the trivial tournaments $T_{1}$ and~$T_{2}$, is~$3 · 2^{n-2}$. \end{Corollary} Let $r(n, k)$ denote the minimum number of transitive subtournaments~$T_{k}$ a tournament~$T_{n}$ can have. It follows from \ThmRef{10} that $r(n, k) = 0$ if $k > [2\log_{2} n] + 1$ and that $r(n, k) > 0$ if $k \leq [\log_{2} n] + 1$. \begin{Theorem}{12.} Let \[ \tau(n, k) = \begin{cases} n · \dfrac{(n - 1)}{2} · \dfrac{(n - 3)}{4} \dots \dfrac{(n - 2^{k-1} + 1)}{2^{k-1}} & \text{if $n > 2^{k-1} - 1$}, \\ 0 & \text{if $n \leq 2^{k-1} - 1$}. \end{cases} \] Then \[ r(n, k) \geq \tau(n, k). \] \end{Theorem} \PageSep{18} \Proof. When $k = 1$, the result is certainly true if we count the trivial tournament~$T_{1}$ as transitive. If $k \geq 2$, then clearly \[ r(n, k) \geq \sum_{i=1}^{n} r(s_{i}, k - 1), \] where $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ denotes the score vector of the tournament~$T_{n}$. We may suppose that $r(s_{i}, k - 1) \geq \tau(s_{i}, k - 1)$; since $\tau(n, k)$~is a convex function of~$n$ for fixed values of~$k$, we may apply Jensen's inequality and conclude that \[ r(n, k) \geq \sum_{i=1}^{n} \tau(s_{i}, k - 1) \geq n\tau\bigl(\nf{1}{2} (n - 1), k - 1\bigr) = \tau(n, k). \] The theorem now follows by induction on~$k$.

We may also consider subsets of arcs of a tournament~$T_{n}$ such that these arcs, by themselves, define no intransitivities. More specifically, we shall call the arcs in a set~$S$ \emph{consistent} if it is possible to relabel the nodes of~$T_{n}$ in such a way that, if the arc~$\Arc{p_{j}p_{i}}$ is in~$S$, then $j > i$. (An equivalent definition is that $T_{n}$~contains no cycles all of whose arcs belong to~$S$.) Erdös and Moon (1965) \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% gave the following result. \begin{Theorem}{13.} Let $w(n)$ denote the largest integer~$w$ such that every tournament~$T_{n}$ contains a set of $w$ consistent arcs. Then \[ w(n) \geq \left[\frac{n}{2}\right] · \left[\frac{n + 1}{2}\right] \quad\text{for all $n$ and } w(n) \leq \frac{(1 + \eps)}{2} \binom{n}{2} \] for any positive~$\eps$ and all sufficiently large~$n$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. When $n = 1$, the lower bound is trivially true. In any tournament~$T_{n}$, there exists at least one node, say~$p_{n}$, whose score is at least~$\left[\dfrac{n}{2}\right]$. We \index{Score of a node}% may suppose that the tournament defined by the remaining $n - 1$ nodes contains a set~$S$ of at least $\left[\dfrac{n - 1}{2}\right] · \left[\dfrac{n}{2}\right]$ consistent arcs. The arcs in~$S$ and the arcs oriented away from~$\Typo{P_{n}}{p_{n}}$ are clearly consistent. Therefore, $T_{n}$~contains a set of at least \[ \left[\frac{n}{2}\right] + \left[\frac{n - 1}{2}\right] · \left[\frac{n}{2}\right] = \left[\frac{n}{2}\right] · \left[\frac{n + 1}{2}\right] \] consistent arcs. The lower bound follows by induction. We now prove the upper bound. Let $\eps$ be chosen satisfying the inequality $0 < \eps < 1$. The tournament~$T_{n}$ has $N = \dbinom{n}{2}$ pairs of distinct nodes and \PageSep{20} the nodes can be labeled in $n!$~ways. Hence, there are at most $n! · \dbinom{N}{k}$ tournaments~$T_{n}$, whose largest set of consistent arcs contains $k$~arcs. So, an upper bound for the number of tournaments~$T_{n}$ that contain a set of more than $\dfrac{(1 + \eps)}{2} N$ consistent arcs is given by %[** TN: Added line break at second inequality] \begin{align*} n! · \sum_{k > (1 + \eps) N/2} \binom{N}{k} &< n!

N 2^{N} \left(1 - \frac{1}{2} \eps\right)^{[\eps N/2]}, \end{align*} provided that $n$~is sufficiently large. Since $1 - x < e^{-x}$ when $0 < x < 1$, it follows that this last expression is less than \[ n! N 2^{N} e^{-(\eps/2)[\eps N/2]}; \] but this in turn is less than~$2^{N}$ for all sufficiently large values of~$n$. Hence, there must be at least one tournament~$T_{n}$ that does not contain any set of more than $\dfrac{(1 + \eps)}{2} N$ consistent arcs. This completes the proof of the theorem. A more careful analysis of the above inequalities shows that the proportion of tournaments~$T_{n}$ that contain more than \[ \frac{1}{2} \binom{n}{2} + (1 + \eps) \left(\frac{1}{2} n^{3} \log n\right)^{1/2} \] consistent arcs, for any fixed positive~$\eps$, tends to zero as $n$~tends to infinity. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Determine the exact value of~$w(n)$ for $3 \leq n \leq 5$. \Ex{2.} Let $z = z(n)$ denote the least integer such that any two tournaments with $n$~nodes can be made isomorphic by reversing at most $z$ arcs of one of the tournaments.

This is an immediate consequence of \ThmRef{3}, if the tournament~$T_{n}$ is strong. If $T_{n}$~is not strong, then it has \index{Strong tournament}% \index{Subtournament}% a unique decomposition into strong subtournaments $T^{(1)}, T^{(2)}, \dots, T^{(l)}$ such that every node of~$T^{(j)}$ dominates every node of~$T^{(i)}$ if $1 \leq i < j \leq l$. Each of these strong subtournaments has a spanning path and these spanning paths can be combined to yield a path spanning~$T_{n}$. The following theorem is a special case of a result proved by Rédei (1934) \index[xauthor]{Redei@Rédei, L.}% and generalized by Szele (1943). \index[xauthor]{Szele, T.}% \begin{Theorem}{14.} Every tournament has an odd number of spanning paths. \end{Theorem} \PageSep{22} \Proof. Let $A = [a_{ij}]$ denote the dominance matrix of an arbitrary \index{Matrix!of a tournament}% tournament~$T_{n}$. Recall that $a_{ij} = 1$ if $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ and $a_{ij} = 0$ otherwise; in particular, $a_{ii} = 0$. The number~$h$ of spanning paths in~$T_{n}$ is equal to the sum of all products of the type \[ a_{i_{1}\pi(i_{1})} a_{i_{2}\pi(i_{2})} \dots a_{i_{n-1}\pi(i_{n-1})}, \] where $1 \leq i_{1} < i_{2} \Chg{}{<} \dots < i_{n-1} \leq n$ and $\pi$~is a permutation of the set $N = \{1, 2, \dots, n\}$ such that $\pi^{k}(i) \neq i$ for $1 \leq k \leq n - 1$. We introduce more notation before continuing the proof. The symbols $e, e_{1}, \dots$ denote subsets of the set~$N$; $e'$~is the complement of~$e$ with respect to~$N$; $e(M)$~is the determinant of the submatrix of the $n$~by~$n$ matrix~$M$ whose row and column indices belong to~$e$; if $e$~is the empty set, then $e(M) = 1$. The determinant of~$M$ will be denoted by~$|M|$. Let $A_{k}$ denote the matrix obtained from~$A$ by replacing the $k$th~column by a column of~$1$'s. Set \[ S_{k} = \sum_{1 \in e} e(A_{k}) · e'(A_{k}), \] where the sum is over all subsets~$e$ of~$N$ that contain~$1$. (The restriction that $1 \in e$ merely serves to distinguish between $e$ and~$e'$.) We now show that \[ h \equiv \sum_{k=1}^{m} S_{k} \pmod{2}. \Tag{(1)} \] It is clear that any term~$g$ in the expansion of~$S_{k}$ corresponds to a term in the expansion of the determinant of~$A_{k}$. (Since the summation is modulo~$2$, we may disregard the signs of the terms.) Suppose the permutation of~$N$ associated with this term can be expressed as the product of the disjoint cycles $c_{1}, c_{2}, \dots, c_{r}$. Those nonzero terms associated with permutations for which $r = 1$, arising only when $e = N$, are precisely those terms described earlier whose sum is~$h$. To prove assertion~\Eq{(1)}, it will suffice to show that the sum of the other terms is even. Consider any term~$g$ for which $r > 1$. There is no loss of generality if we assume that $1 \in c_{1}$. Now, all the elements in~$c_{i}$ belong to~$e$ or they all belong to~$e'$, where $e$~is a subset of~$N$ giving rise to~$g$ in the expansion of~$S_{k}$. Since there are two choices for each cycle $c_{2}, c_{3}, \dots, c_{r}$ it follows that there are $2^{r-1}$~subsets~$e$ giving rise to~$g$. Consequently, the term~$g$ appears $2^{r-1}$~times in the sum. This completes the proof of~\Eq{(1)}, since $2^{r-1}$~is even if $r > 1$. Let $\bar{A} = [\bar{a}_{ij}]$ denote the matrix whose elements satisfy the equation $\bar{a}_{ij} = a_{ij} + 1$ for all $i$~and~$j$. This implies that \[ |\bar{A}| = |A| + \sum_{k=1}^{n} |A_{k}|. \Tag{(2)} \] We observe that $\bar{a}_{ij} = a_{ji} \pmod{2}$ if $i \neq j$ and that $\bar{a}_{ii} = 1$. Hence, the transpose of~$\bar{A}$, which has the same determinant as~$\bar{A}$, has its entries all \PageSep{23} congruent to the corresponding entries of~$A$ with the exception of the diagonal entries. Consequently, \[ \sum_{k=1}^{n} |A_{k}| = |\bar{A}^{T}| - |A| \equiv \sum_{e \neq N} e(A) \pmod{2}, \Tag{(3)} \] since the last sum effectively involves those terms in the expansion of~$|\bar{A}^{T}|$ that contain diagonal entries. (Notice that the diagonal entries in a term in the expansion of~$|A^{T}|$ corresponding to some term in the expansion of~$e(A)$ are those~$\bar{a}_{ii}$ for which $i \in e'$; this is why the sum is over the proper subsets~$e$ of~$N$.) Let $\sum_{k}^{*} e(A_{k})$ denote the sum of~$e(A_{k})$ over all~$k$ such that $k \in e$ with the convention that an empty sum equals zero. Then, \begin{align*} h &\equiv \sum_{k=1}^{n} \left\{\sum_{1 \in e} e(A_{k}) · e'(A_{k})\right\} \\ &\equiv \sum_{1 \in e} \left\{\sum_{k \in e} e(A_{k}) \Chg{}{·} e'(A_{k}) + \sum_{k \not\in e} e(A_{k}) · e'(A_{k})\right\} \\ &\equiv \sum_{1 \in e} \left\{e'(A) {\sum_{k}}^{*} e(A_{k}) + e(A) {\sum_{k}}^{*} e'(A_{k})\right\} \Tag{(4)} \\ &\equiv \sum_{e} e'(A) {\sum_{k}}^{*} e(A_{k}) \pmod{2}. \end{align*} Let us apply \Eq{(3)} to~$e(A)$ instead of to~$|A|$; then \[ {\sum_{k}}^{*} e(A_{k}) \equiv \sum_{e_{1} \subset e} e_{1}(A) \pmod{2}, \Tag{(5)} \] where the second summation is over all proper subsets $e_{1}$ of~$e$. (If $e$~is the empty set, then both sides equal zero.) If we substitute \Eq{(5)} into~\Eq{(4)}, we find that \[ h \equiv \sum_{e} \sum_{e_{1} \subset e_{1}} e'(A) · e_{1}(A) \pmod{2}. \Tag{(6)} \] If $e - e_{1} \neq N$, then the term arising from $e$ and~$e_{1}$, where $e_{1} \subset e$ and $e_{1} \neq e$, is equal to the term arising from $e_{1}'$ and~$e'$. Hence, the terms in the sum come in pairs except for the terms arising when $e - e_{1} = N$, that is, when $e = N$ and $e_{1}$~is the empty set. Since $e'(A) = e_{1}(A) = 1$ in this case, it follows that \[ h \equiv 1 \pmod{2}. \] This completes the proof of the theorem. \begin{Corollary} A tournament~$T_{n}$ has at least $\dbinom{n}{k}$ paths of length~$k - 1$ if $2 \leq k \leq n$; furthermore, the number of paths of length~$k - 1$ in~$T_{n}$ is congruent to $\dbinom{n}{k}$ modulo~$2$. \end{Corollary} \PageSep{24} This is proved by applying \ThmRef{14} to each subtournament~$T_{k}$ of~$T_{n}$ and then summing over all such subtournaments. Let $G$ denote a graph that differs from a tournament~$T_{n}$ in that some of \index{Oriented graph}% the arcs $\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$ of~$T_{n}$ may have been either removed entirely or replaced by unoriented edges~$p_{i}p_{j}$. A path in such a graph~$G$ may pass through any unoriented edge~$p_{i}p_{j}$ in either direction. Let $(G)_{k}$ denote the number of ways of labeling the nodes of~$G$ as $q_{1}, q_{2}, \dots, q_{n}$ in such a way that there are $k$~pairs of consecutive nodes $q_{i}$~and~$q_{i+1}$ for which the arc~$\Arc{q_{i+1}q_{i}}$ is in~$G$ (notice that $(G)_{0} + (G)_{1} + \dots + (G)_{n-1} = n!$), and let $(G)$ denote the number of spanning paths of~$G$. Finally, let $[G]_{k}$ denote the number of sets of $n - k$ disjoint paths of~$G$ with the property that every node of~$G$ belongs to one path in the set.

The following result is due to Szele (1943). \index[xauthor]{Szele, T.}% \begin{Theorem}{15.} If \[ \alpha = \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(\frac{t(n)}{n!}\right)^{1/n}, \] then $\alpha$~exists and satisfies the inequality $.5 = 2^{-1} \leq \alpha \leq 2^{-3/4} \leq .6$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. Let us assume for the time being that the limit does exist. The expected number of spanning paths in a random tournament~$T_{n}$ is~$\dfrac{n!}{2^{n-1}}$. Consequently, \[ t(n) \geq \frac{n!}{2^{n-1}}\quad\text{or}\quad \left(\frac{t(n)}{n!}\right)^{1/n} \geq \frac{1}{2^{1 - 1/n}} \Tag{(1)} \] for all positive integers~$n$. This implies the first inequality of the theorem. Let $A$, $B$, $C$, and~$D$ denote the number of subtournaments~$T_{4}$ a given tournament~$T_{n}$ has of the four types depicted in \Figure{1}. Subtournaments of these types have $1$,~$3$,~$3$, and~$5$ spanning paths, respectively. Hence, the total number of $3$-paths (paths of length three) in the tournament~$T_{n}$ is equal to \[ A + 3(B + C) + 5D = \binom{n}{4} + 2(n - 3) c_{3}(T_{n}), \] where $c_{3}(T_{n})$ is the number of $3$-cycles in~$T_{n}$. (The equality is established by checking that each subtournament~$T_{4}$ is counted the appropriate number \index{Subtournament}% of times by the right-hand expression.) But the corollary to \ThmRef{4} gives an upper bound for~$c_{3}(T_{n})$. We find, therefore, that an upper bound for the number of $3$-paths in any tournament~$T_{n}$ is given by \[ \begin{cases} \dfrac{n^{2}(n - 1)(n - 3)}{8} & \text{if $n$~is odd,} \\ \dfrac{(n + 1)n(n - 2)(n - 3)}{8} & \text{if $n$~is even.} \end{cases} \] It follows that \[ t(n) \leq \left\{ \begin{aligned} &\dfrac{n^{2}(n - 1)(n - 3)}{8} · \dfrac{(n - 4)^{2}(n - 5)(n - 7)}{8}\dots \quad\text{if $n$~is odd,} \\ &\dfrac{(n + 1)n(n - 2)(n - 3)}{8} · \dfrac{(n - 3)(n - 4)(n - 6)(n - 7)}{8}\dots \\ % [** TN: Width-dependent spacing] &\rule{3in}{0pt}\text{if $n$~is even.} \end{aligned} \right. \] \PageSep{27} The last factors in these products will depend on the residue class modulo~$4$ to which $n$~belongs. We find in all cases, however, that \[ t(n) \leq \frac{(n + 1)!}{8^{[n/4]}} \leq \frac{(n + 1)!}{2^{(3/4)n - 3}}. \] Therefore, \[ \left(\frac{t(n)}{n!}\right)^{1/n} \leq \frac{(n + 1)^{1/n}}{2^{(3/4) - (3/n)}} \Tag{(2)} \] for all positive integers~$n$. This implies the last inequality of the theorem. We shall use the following result on subadditive functions [see Fekete \index[xauthor]{Fekete, M.}% (1923)] to show that the limit actually exists. \begin{Lemma} {\Loosen Let $\{g(n) : n = 1, 2, \dots\}$ be a sequence such that $g(a + b) \leq g(a) + g(b)$ for all $a, b = 1, 2, \dots$. If $\phi = \inf_{n} g(n)/n$ is finite, then $\lim_{n \to \infty} g(n)/n$ exists and equals~$\phi$.} \end{Lemma} \Proof. Choose the integer~$r$ so that \[ \frac{g(r)}{r} \leq \phi + \eps, \] for an arbitrary positive value of~$\eps$. For any given value of~$n$, let $n = rs + t$, where $0 < t \leq r$. Then \begin{align*} \frac{g(n)}{n} &= \frac{g(rs + t)}{n} \leq \frac{g(rs)}{n} + \frac{g(t)}{n} \\ &\leq \frac{sg(r)}{n} + \frac{g(t)}{n} \leq \frac{rs}{n}(\phi + \eps) + \frac{g(t)}{n} \\ &\leq \phi + \eps + \frac{1}{n}\max\{g(1), \dots, g(r)\}. \end{align*} Therefore, \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \sup \frac{g(n)}{n} \leq \phi + \eps \] for every positive~$\eps$. The lemma follows immediately. In forming a spanning path of a tournament~$T_{n}$, we may choose the first $k$ nodes of this path, form a path spanning these $k$~nodes, and then join this path to a path spanning the remaining $n - k$ nodes. Consequently, \[ t(n) \leq \binom{n}{k} t(k) · t(n - k)\quad\text{or}\quad \frac{t(n)}{n!} \leq \frac{t(k)}{k!} · \frac{t(n - k)}{(n - k)!} \] for all positive integers $k$ and $n$ with $k < n$. If we let $h(n) = \dfrac{t(n)}{n}$, then \[ \log h(a + b) \leq \log h(a) + \log h(b) \] \PageSep{28} for all positive integers $a$ and~$b$. The existence of $\lim\limits_{n \to \infty} \left(\dfrac{t(n)}{n!}\right)^{1/n}$ may now be demonstrated by applying the lemma to the function $\log h(n)$. Szele conjectured that the limit actually is~$\nf{1}{2}$ and gave the following \index[xauthor]{Szele, T.}% table of values of~$t(n)$. \begin{table}[hbt!] \TCaption{Table 3. $t(n)$, the maximum number of spanning paths \index{Spanning path or cycle}% in a tournament~$T_{n}$.} \[ \begin{array}{*{6}{c}} n & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ \hline \Strut t(n) & 3 & 5 & 15 & 45 & 189 \end{array} \] \end{table} \Exercises \Ex{1.} Supply the details omitted in the proof of inequality~\Eq{(2)}. \Ex{2.} The inequality $t(n) \leq n!\bigl(t(k)/k!\bigr)^{[n/k]}$ holds for any fixed value of~$k$.

It seems difficult to give explicit examples of tournaments having this many spanning cycles in general. Construct a tournament having at least $\left(\dfrac{n}{3e}\right)^{n}$ spanning cycles for large values of~$n$. [L.~Moser.] \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% \Section{11.}{An Extremal Problem} A tournament $T_{n}$ has \emph{property $S(k, m)$}, where $k \leq n$, if for every subset~$A$ \index{Property $S(k, m)$}% of $k$~nodes there exist at least $m$~nodes~$p$ such that $p$~dominates every node of~$A$. In 1962, K.~Schütte raised the question of determining the least \index[xauthor]{Schutte@Schütte, K.}% integer~$n$ such that there exist tournaments~$T_{n}$ with property~$S(k, 1)$, if such tournaments exist at all. Erdös (1962) showed that such tournaments \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% do indeed exist and that if the tournament~$T_{n}$ has property~$S(k, 1)$ then \[ n \geq 2^{k+1} - 1,\quad\text{for $k = 1, 2, \dots$.} \Tag{(1)} \] E.~and G. Szekeres (1965) deduced a stronger inequality as a consequence \index[xauthor]{Szekeres, E. and G.}% of the following result. \PageSep{29} \begin{Theorem}{16.} If the tournament~$T_{n}$ has property $S(k, m)$, then \[ n \geq 2^{k}(m + 1) - 1. \Tag{(2)} \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. If $p$~is any node of the tournament~$T_{n}$, let $T_{d}$~denote the subtournament determined by the $d$~nodes~$q$ that dominate~$p$. We show that $T_{d}$~has property $S(k - 1, m)$. Suppose that $d \geq k - 1$. Let $A$ be any set of $k - 1$ nodes of~$T_{d}$; since $T_{n}$~has property $S(k, m)$, there must exist a set~$B$ of at least $m$ nodes~$q$ such that $q$~dominates every node in the set $A \cup \{p\}$. Since all these nodes dominate~$p$, it follows that they all are in the tournament~$T_{d}$. Therefore $T_{d}$~has property $S(k - 1, m)$. The other alternative is that $d < k - 1$. In this case, adjoin to~$T_{d}$ any $k - 1 - d$ other nodes of~$T_{n}$ (but not~$p$) to form a subtournament~$T_{k-1}$. The same argument as used before shows that $T_{k-1}$~has property $S(k - 1, m)$. But this is impossible, since it would imply that the nodes of~$T_{k-1}$ dominate themselves. We now prove inequality~\Eq{(2)} by induction; it certainly holds when $k = 0$ and $m \geq 1$, since we may say that a tournament~$T_{n}$ has property $S(0, m)$ if and only if $n \geq m$. Suppose therefore that $k > 0$ and that \Eq{(2)}~has been proved for all tournaments with property $S(k - 1, m)$. It follows from the remarks in the preceding paragraphs and the induction hypothesis that at least $2^{k-1} (m + 1) - 1$ arcs are oriented toward each node of~$T_{n}$. Therefore, \[ n\bigl(2^{k-1} (m + 1) - 1\bigr) < \binom{n}{2}, \] or \[ n \geq 2^{k} (m + 1) - 1. \] \begin{Corollary} If the tournament~$T_{n}$ has property $S(k, 1)$, then \[ n \geq 2^{k-1} (k + 2) - 1,\quad\text{for $k = 2, 3, \dots$.} \] \end{Corollary} \Proof. If $T_{n}$~has property $S(k, 1)$ where $k \geq 2$, then $T_{n}$~has property $S(k - 1, k + 1)$. For, let $A$~be any set of $k - 1$ nodes of~$T_{n}$ and suppose that the set~$B$ of nodes that dominate every node of~$A$ contains only $h$ nodes, where $h \leq k$. Then there exists a node~$x$ that dominates every node in~$B$. Furthermore, there exists a node~$y$ that dominates every node in $A \cup \{x\}$. Then $y$~must be in~$B$ and $x$~and~$y$ must dominate each other, an impossibility. The corollary now follows from \ThmRef{16}. This corollary is best possible when $k = 2, 3$ (see Exercises 1~and~2) but it is not known if it is best possible when $k > 3$. Erdös (1962) showed that there exist tournaments~$T_{n}$ with property $S(k, 1)$ \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% whenever \[ n > 2^{k} k^{2} \log(2 + \eps) \Tag{(3)} \] \PageSep{30} for any positive~$\eps$, provided that $k$~is sufficiently large. The ideas used in establishing this and an analogous result for tournaments with property $S(k, m)$ are similar to those used in proving the following result due to Erdös \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% and Moser (1964b). \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% If $A$ and $B$ are disjoint subsets of the tournament~$T_{n}$, let $t = t(A, B)$ denote the number of nodes~$p$ that dominate every node of~$A$ and are dominated by every node of~$B$. If $\eps$~is any positive number, let $F(n, k, \eps)$ denote the number of tournaments~$T_{n}$ such that \[ \left|t - \frac{n - k}{2^{k}}\right| < \frac{\eps(n - k)}{2^{k}} \Tag{(4)} \] for every pair of subsets $A$ and $B$ for which $|A| + |B| = k$. \begin{Theorem}{17.} For every positive~$\eps$ there exist constants $c$ and~$K$, which depend on~$\eps$, such that if $k > K$ and $n > ck^{2}2^{k}$, then \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \frac{F(n, k, \eps)}{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}} = 1. \Tag{(5)} \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. Suppose $0 < \eps < 1$. For a particular choice of $A$~and~$B$, there are \[ \binom{n - k}{t} (2^{k} - 1)^{n - k - t} · 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}-k(n-k)} = 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}} \binom{n - k}{t} \left(\frac{1}{2^{k}}\right)^{t} \left(1 - \frac{1}{2^{k}}\right)^{n-k-t} \] tournaments~$T_{n}$ for which $t(A, B) = t$. For, there are $\dbinom{n - k}{t}$ choices for the $t$~nodes that dominate the nodes of~$A$ and are dominated by the nodes of~$B$; the other $n - k - t$ nodes may each be joined to the $k$~nodes of $A \cup B$ in one of $2^{k} - 1$ ways; the remaining $\dbinom{n}{2} - k(n - k)$ arcs may be oriented arbitrarily. There are $\Erratum{\dbinom{n}{2}}{\dbinom{n}{k}} 2^{k}$ ways of selecting the sets $A$~and~$B$. Consequently, if $S$~denotes the number of tournaments~$T_{n}$ that do not satisfy~\Eq{(4)} for every choice of $A$~and~$B$, then \[ S \leq \binom{n}{k} 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}+k} {\sum}' \binom{n - k}{t} \left(\frac{1}{2^{k}}\right)^{t} \left(1 - \frac{1}{2^{k}}\right)^{n-k-t}, \] where the sum is over all~$t$ such that $\left|t - \dfrac{n - k}{2^{k}}\right| \geq \dfrac{\eps(n - k)}{2^{k}}$. The largest term in the sum occurs when $t = T = \left[(1 - \eps) \dfrac{(n - k)}{2^{k}}\right]$, $\dbinom{n}{k} 2^{k} \leq n^{k}$ if $k \geq 4$, and $1 - x < e^{-x}$ if $0 < x < 1$. Therefore, \[ S \leq 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}} n^{k+1} \binom{n - k}{T} \frac{1}{2^{kT}} e^{-(n-k-T)/2^{k}} \] \PageSep{31} when $k \geq 4$. But \[ \binom{n - k}{T} \frac{1}{2^{kT}} < \left(\frac{(n - k)e}{T2^{k}}\right)^{T} \leq c_{1} \left(\frac{e}{1 - \eps}\right)^{T}, \] where $c_{1}$~denotes some constant. Consequently, to prove~\Eq{(5)}, we need only show that \[ n^{k+1} \left(\frac{e}{1 - \eps}\right)^{(n/2^{k})(1-\eps)} e^{-(n/2^{k})+(n/2^{2k})(1-\eps)} \] tends to zero as $n$~tends to infinity, since $\dfrac{k}{2^{k}}$~is bounded. If $L$ denotes the logarithm of this expression, then \[ L = (k + 1) \log n - \frac{n}{2^{k}} \left[(1 - \eps) \log (1 - \eps) + \eps - \frac{(1 - \eps)}{2^{k}}\right]. \] Since \begin{align*} \log (1 - \eps) &= -\eps - \nf{1}{2} \eps^{2} - \nf{1}{3} \eps^{3} - \dots > -\eps - \nf{1}{2} \eps^{2}(1 + \eps + \dots) \\ &= \frac{-\eps + \nf{1}{2} \eps^{2}}{1 - \eps}, \end{align*} when $0 < \eps < 1$, it follows that, for sufficiently large values of~$k$, the quantity inside the brackets will exceed some positive constant $c_{2} = c_{2}(\eps)$. Therefore, \[ L \leq (k + 1) \log n - \frac{c_{2}n}{2^{k}} \leq n(k + 1) \left(\frac{\log n}{n} - \frac{c_{3}}{k2^{k}}\right), \] where $c_{3}$~is another constant equal, say, to~$\nf{1}{2}c_{2}$. Now let us suppose that \[ n > ck^{2} 2^{k}, \] where the constant $c = c(\eps)$ will be specified presently. Then it follows that \[ L \leq n(k + 1) \left[\frac{\log(ck^{2} 2^{k})}{ck^{2} 2^{k}} - \frac{c_{3}}{k2^{k}}\right] = \frac{n(k + 1)}{ck2^{k}} \left[\frac{\log(ck^{2})}{k} + \log 2 - cc_{3}\right], \] since $\log n/n$ is a decreasing function for $n \geq 3$. It is clear that $c$~can be defined as a function of~$\eps$ in such a way that, if $k$~is sufficiently large, then the expression within the brackets is negative. Consequently, $L$~will tend to~$-\infty$ as $n$~tends to~$+\infty$. This completes the proof of the theorem. When this type of argument is applied to the simpler problem of establishing~\Eq{(3)}, it turns out that the constant~$c$ may be any quantity greater than~$\log 2$. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Let $T_{7}$ denote the tournament in which $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ if and only if $j - i$ is a quadratic residue modulo~$7$.

[L.~Moser.] \Section{12.}{The Diameter of a Tournament} \index{Diameter of a tournament}% The \emph{diameter} of a strong tournament~$T_{n}$ ($n > 3$) is the least integer~$d$ such \index{Strong tournament}% that, for every ordered pair of nodes $p$ and~$q$ of~$T_{n}$, there exists a nontrivial path $P(p, q)$ of length at most~$d$. (The diameter of a reducible tournament is not defined.) No node is connected to itself by a nontrivial path of length less than three so the diameter of every strong tournament is at least three. We shall prove a result that implies that almost all tournaments~$T_{n}$ (that is, all but a fraction that tends to zero as $n$~tends to infinity) have the following property: the number of paths of length two from $p_{i}$ to $p_{j}$ lies between \index{Paths in a tournament}% $(\nf{1}{4} - \eps)(n - 2)$ and $(\nf{1}{4} + \eps)(n - 2)$ for every ordered pair of distinct nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$ and for any positive~$\eps$. Consequently, almost all tournaments have diameter three, since there is a path of length three connecting every node to itself in every strong tournament (and almost all tournaments are strong by \ThmRef{1}). Let $r_{ij}$ denote the number of paths of length two from $p_{i}$ to~$p_{j}$ ($p_{i} \neq p_{j}$) in a tournament~$T_{n}$ and let $E(n, \lambda)$ denote the expected number of ordered pairs of distinct nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$ in a random tournament~$T_{n}$ for which $|r_{ij} - \nf{1}{4}(n - 2)| > \lambda$. The following theorem is very similar to a theorem proved by Moon and Moser (1966). \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% \begin{Theorem}{18.} If $\lambda = \bigl\{\nf{3}{4}(n - 2) \bigl[\log(n - 2) + w(n)\bigr]\bigr\}^{1/2}$, where $\log(n - 2) + w(n) \to \infty$ and $w(n) n^{-1/3} \to 0$, then \[ E(n, \lambda) \sim \bigl\{2\pi \bigl[\log(n - 2) + w(n)\bigr]\bigr\}^{-1/2} e^{-2w(n)} \] as $n \to \infty$. \end{Theorem} \PageSep{33} \Proof. There are \[ \binom{n - 2}{r} 3^{n-2-r}\, 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}-2(n-2)} = 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}} \binom{n - 2}{r} \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{r} \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{n-2-r} \] tournaments~$T_{n}$ such that $r_{ij} = r$ for any admissible choice of $i$,~$j$, and~$r$. For, there are $\dbinom{n - 2}{r}$ ways of selecting the $r$~nodes that are to be on a path of length two from $p_{i}$ to~$p_{j}$ and there are three ways of orienting the arcs joining $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$ to any node that is not on such a path; the remaining $\dbinom{n}{2} - 2(n - 2)$ arcs may be oriented arbitrarily. Since there are $n(n - 1)$ ordered pairs of distinct nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$, it follows that \[ E(n, \lambda) = n(n - 1) \sum \binom{n - 2}{r} \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^{r} \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)^{n-2-r} \] where the sum is over all~$r$ such that $|r - \nf{1}{4}(n - 2)| > \lambda$. We may apply the De~Moivre-Laplace Theorem to the sum [see Feller (1957; p.~172)] \index[xauthor]{Feller, W.}% and conclude that \[ E(n, \lambda) \sim 2n(n - 1)\bigl(1 - \Phi(X)\bigr), \] where $X = 2(2\lambda + 1)\bigl[3(n - 2)\bigr]^{-1/2}$ and $\Phi$~is the normal distribution function. (We need the hypothesis that $w(n)n^{-1/3} \to 0$ at this step.) Since $X \to \infty$ as $n \to \infty$, we may use the relation \[ 1 - \Phi(X) \sim \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{1/2} X} e^{-(1/2)X^{2}} \] [see Feller (1957; p.~166)]. After further simplification, we find that \begin{multline*} E(n, \lambda) \sim \left(\frac{3}{8\pi}\right)^{1/2} \frac{(n - 2)^{5/2}}{\lambda} e^{-(8/3)[\lambda^{2}/(n-2)]} \\ = \bigl\{2\pi \bigl[\log(n - 2) + w(n)\bigr]\bigr\}^{-1/2} e^{-2w(n)}. \end{multline*} This completes the proof of the theorem. \begin{Corollary}[1.] If $\lambda = \bigl((\nf{3}{4} + \eps) (n - 2) \log(n - 2)\bigr)^{1/2}$, where $\eps$~is any positive constant, then almost all tournaments~$T_{n}$ have the property that \[ |r_{ij} - \nf{1}{4}(n - 2)| < \lambda \] for every pair of distinct nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$. \end{Corollary} \Proof. Let $N(k)$ denote the number of tournaments~$T_{n}$ such that the inequality $|r_{ij} - \nf{1}{4}(n - 2)| > \lambda$ holds for exactly $k$ ordered pairs of distinct nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$. Then \begin{align*} 0 &\leq \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}} - N(0)}{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}} = \frac{N(1) + N(2) + \dots + N\bigl(n(n - 1)\bigr)}{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}} \\ &\leq \frac{0 · N(0) + 1 · N(1) + \dots + n(n - 1) · N\bigl(n(n - 1)\bigr)}{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}} = E(n, \lambda). \end{align*} \PageSep{34} If $w(n) = \nf{4}{3} \eps \log(n - 2)$ in \ThmRef{18}, then \[ E(n, \lambda) \sim \bigl(2\pi(1 + \nf{4}{3}\eps) \log(n - 2)\bigr)^{-1/2} (n - 2)^{-(8/3)\eps}, \] and \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} E(n, \lambda) = 0. \] Therefore, \[ \lim_{n \to \infty} \left(1 - N(0) · 2^{-\ebinom{n}{2}}\right) = 0, \] and the corollary is proved. \begin{Corollary}{2.} Almost all tournaments have diameter three. \end{Corollary} Notice that, if the definition of the diameter of a tournament involved ordered pairs of distinct nodes only, then we could assert that almost all tournaments have diameter two. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Supply the details omitted in the proof of \ThmRef{18}. \Ex{2.} Prove that $d \leq n - 1$ for any strong tournament~$T_{n}$ with at least four nodes. \Ex{3.} Prove that $d \leq \max \{3, s_{n} - s_{1} + 2\}$, where $s_{n}$~and~$s_{1}$ denote the largest and smallest score in a strong tournament~$T_{n}$. \index{Score of a node}% \Section{13.}{The Powers of Tournament Matrices} Let $M$ denote a square matrix with nonnegative elements. If there exists \index{Matrix!of a tournament}% \index{Matrix!of zeros and ones}% an integer~$t$ such that $M^{t}$~has only positive elements, then $M$~is \emph{primitive} \index{Primitive!matrix}% and the least such integer~$t$ is called the \emph{exponent} of~$M$. We may assume that \index{Exponent!of a matrix}% the elements of~$M$ are zeros and ones, and we shall use Boolean arithmetic in calculating the powers of~$M$. A well-known result due to Wielandt (1950) \index[xauthor]{Wielandt, H.}% states that, if the primitive $n$~by~$n$ matrix~$M_{n}$ has exponent~$e$, then $e < (n - 1)^{2} + 1$. The \emph{directed graph}~$D_{n}$ defined by a matrix $M_{n} = [a_{ij}]$ of zeros and ones \index{Directed graph}% consists of $n$~nodes $p_{1}, p_{2}, \dots, p_{n}$ such that an arc~$\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$ goes from $p_{i}$ to~$p_{j}$ if and only if $a_{ij} = 1$. The $(i, j)$-entry in~$M_{n}^{t}$ is one if and only if there exists a path $P(p_{i}, p_{j})$ of length~$t$ in the graph~$D_{n}$. (We cannot assume, however, that all the elements in~$P(p_{i}, p_{j})$ are distinct.) Several authors have used properties of directed graphs to obtain results on primitive matrices and their exponents. [See, for example, the expository \PageSep{35} article by Dulmage and Mendelsohn (1965).] Most of these results are \index[xauthor]{Dulmage, A. L.}% \index[xauthor]{Mendelsohn, N. S.}% unnecessarily weak or complicated when applied to tournament matrices. Moon and Pullman (1967) showed that some fairly sharp results for \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% \index[xauthor]{Pullman, N. J.}% primitive tournament matrices could be deduced as simple consequences of \index{Primitive!tournament}% \ThmRef{3}. If a tournament matrix~$M_{n}$ has a certain property (for example, if it is primitive), we shall say that the corresponding tournament~$T_{n}$ has the same property. \begin{Theorem}{19.} If the tournament~$T_{n}$ is irreducible and $n \geq 5$, then $T_{n}$~is \index{Irreducible tournament}% primitive; if $d$~and~$e$ denote the diameter and exponent of~$T_{n}$, then \index{Diameter of a tournament}% \index{Exponent!of a tournament}% $d \leq e \leq d + 3$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. It is obvious that $d \leq e$ if $T_{n}$~is primitive; therefore, we need \index{Paths in a tournament}% only show that there exists a path $P(p, q)$ of length $d + 3$ for any ordered pair of nodes $p$~and~$q$ of~$T_{n}$. There exists at least one nontrivial path $P(p, q)$, since $T_{n}$~is irreducible and $n \neq 1$. Let $P_{1}(p, q)$ be the shortest such path and let $l$ denote its length. Then $3 \leq d - l + 3 \leq n + 2$, since $0 \leq l \leq d \leq n - 1$. If $3 \leq d - l + 3 \leq n$, then there exists a cycle $P_{2}(p, p)$ of length $d - l + 3$ by \ThmRef{3}. Then the path $P(p, q) = P_{2}(p, p) + P_{1}(p, q)$ has length $d + 3$. If $d - l + 3 = n + h$, where $h = 1$ or~$2$, then $3 \leq n + h - 3 \leq n - 1$ since $n \geq 5$. Hence, there exist cycles $P_{3}(p, p)$ and $P_{4}(p, p)$ of \index{Cycles in a tournament}% lengths $3$ and $n + h - 3$. The path \[ P(p, q) = P_{3}(p, p) + P_{4}(p, p) + P_{1}(p, q) \] has length $3 + (n + h - 3) + l = d + 3$. This completes the proof of the theorem. \begin{Corollary} A tournament~$T_{n}$ is primitive if and only if $n \geq 4$ and $T_{n}$~is irreducible. \end{Corollary} This result, apparently first stated by Thompson (1958), follows from \index[xauthor]{Thompson, G. L.}% \ThmRef{19} and the obvious fact that a primitive tournament must be irreducible. (It is easily verified that the only primitive tournament with fewer than five nodes is the strong tournament~$T_{4}$; it has exponent nine.) \begin{Corollary} If $T_{n}$ ($n \geq 5$) is a primitive tournament with exponent~$e$, then $3 \leq e \leq n + 2$. \end{Corollary} There are six irreducible tournaments~$T_{5}$ (see the Appendix) and they realize the exponents four, six, and seven. However, there are no gaps in the exponent set of larger primitive tournaments. \begin{Theorem}{20.} If $3 \leq e \leq n + 2$, where $n \geq 6$, then there exists a primitive tournament~$T_{n}$ with exponent~$e$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. Let $n$ and $k$ be integers such that $3 \leq k \leq n - 1$ and $n \geq 6$. Consider the tournament~$T_{n}$ defined as follows: The arcs $\Arc{p_{1}p_{n}}$, $\Arc{p_{n}p_{n-1}}$,~\dots, \PageSep{36} $\Arc{p_{3}p_{2}}$, $\Arc{p_{2}p_{1}}$ and all arcs $\Arc{p_{j}p_{i}}$ where $k \leq i < j \leq n$ are in~$T_{n}$; the remaining arcs are all oriented toward the node with the larger subscript. (The structure of~$T_{n}$ is illustrated in \Figure{5}.) This tournament contains a spanning cycle so it is irreducible and hence primitive. \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic{fig5} \FCaption{Figure 5} \end{figure} If $k \geq 3$, then it is easy to see that the diameter of~$T_{n}$ is~$k$. The exponent of~$T_{n}$ is not $k$ or~$k + 1$, however, since there are no paths $P(p_{k}, p_{1})$ of these lengths; neither is it~$k + 2$, since there is no path $P(p_{k+1}, p_{1})$ of this length. Therefore, the exponent of~$T_{n}$ is~$k + 3$, by \ThmRef{19}. This shows that there exists a primitive tournament~$T_{n}$ with exponent~$e$ if $6 \leq e \leq n + 2$ and $n \geq 6$. If $k = 2$ or~$3$ let $T_{n}'$ differ from~$T_{n}$ in that the arc joining $p_{k+1}$ and~$p_{n}$ is oriented toward~$p_{n}$. It is not difficult to verify that $T_{n}'$~has exponent $k + 2$. Therefore, to complete the proof of the theorem, we need only show that there exist primitive tournaments~$T_{n}$ with exponent three when $n \geq 6$. If $n = 6$, let $T_{n}$ be the tournament whose matrix is \[ \left| \begin{array}{*{6}{c}} 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \end{array} \right|; \] if $n > 6$, let $T_{n}$~be the regular tournament~$R_{n}$ that was defined in \SecRef{5}. A simple and direct argument shows that these tournaments have exponent three. This completes the proof of the theorem. The \emph{index} (\emph{of maximum density}) of a square matrix~$M$ is the least integer~$k$ \index{Index!of maximum density of a matrix}% such that the number of nonzero entries in~$M^{k}$ is maximized. If $M$~is primitive, then its exponent and index are equal. Before stating the next result, we observe that every tournament~$T_{n}$ has a unique decomposition into subtournaments~$T^{i}$ ($i = 1, 2, \dots, l$) such that % [** TN: List indentation added with author's approval] \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] every node in~$T^{(j)}$ dominates every node in~$T^{(i)}$ if $1 \leq i < j \leq l$; \item[(b)] every subtournament~$T^{(i)}$ is either irreducible or transitive; \index{Subtournament}% \item[(c)] no two consecutive subtournaments $T^{(i)}$ and $T^{(i+1)}$ are both transitive. \end{itemize} When $T_{n}$~is itself irreducible or transitive, then $l = 1$ and $T_{n} = T^{(1)}$. \PageSep{37} \begin{Theorem}{21.} Let $k = \text{index}(M)$ and $k_{i} = \text{index}(M_{i})$, where $M$~and~$M_{i}$ denote the matrices of the tournament $T_{n}$ and~$T^{(i)}$. Then \[ k \leq \max (k_{i} : i = 1, 2, \dots, l). \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. We may suppose that the matrix~$M$ has the form \[ M = \left| \begin{array}{*{4}{c}} M_{1} & & & 0 \\ & M_{2} & & \\ & & \ddots & \\ 1 & & & M_{l} \end{array} \right|, \] where the entries above and below the diagonal blocks are zeros and ones, respectively. Then \[ M^{t} = \left| \begin{array}{*{4}{c}} M_{1}^{t} & & & 0 \\ & M_{2}^{t} & & \\ & & \ddots & \\ 1 & & & M_{l}^{t} \end{array} \right|, \Tag{(1)} \] for $t = 1, 2, \dots$. Let $|B|$ denote the number of nonzero entries in the matrix~$B$, and let $J = \{j : T^{(j)} \text{ is transitive}\}$. It follows from~\Eq{(1)} that \[ \Typo{|M^{T}|}{|M^{t}|} = \sum_{j \in J} |M_{j}^{t}| + \sum_{i \not\in J} |M_{i}^{t}| + K, \] where the constant~$K$ denotes the number of ones below the diagonal blocks of~$M$. If $m = \max (k_{i} : i = 1, 2, \dots, l)$, then $|M_{i}^{t}| \leq |M_{i}^{m}|$ for all $i \not\in J$ if $t \geq 1$, since every subtournament~$T^{(i)}$ ($i \not\in J$) is either primitive or a $3$-cycle. Furthermore, $|M_{j}^{t}| \leq |M_{j}^{m}|$ for all $j \in J$ if $t \geq m$, since $|M_{j}^{t+1}| \leq |M_{j}^{t}|$ for all $j \in J$ if $t \geq 1$. Therefore, $|M^{t}| \leq |M^{m}|$ if $t \geq m$, and the theorem is proved. Strict equality holds in \ThmRef{21} if no transitive subtournament~$T^{(j)}$ has two or more nodes. \begin{Corollary} If $\eta$ denotes the maximum number of nodes in any of the irreducible subtournaments~$T^{(i)}$, then \[ k \leq \left\{ \begin{aligned} &1 \\ &9 \\ &\max(\eta + 2, 9) \\ &\Typo{n + 2}{\eta + 2} \end{aligned} \quad\text{if}\quad \begin{aligned} &\eta \leq 3, \\ &\eta = 4, \\ &\eta > 4, \\ &\eta \geq 7. \end{aligned} \right. \] \end{Corollary} This follows from the second corollary to \ThmRef{19} and the fact that the irreducible tournaments $T_{1}$, $T_{3}$, and $T_{4}$ have index one, one, and nine. \PageSep{38} Since we are using Boolean arithmetic, there are only finitely many distinct matrices among the powers of a given matrix~$M$ of zeros and ones. The \emph{index of convergence} and the \emph{period} of~$M$ are the smallest positive \index{Index!of convergence of a matrix}% \index{Period of a matrix}% integers $\gamma = \gamma(M)$ and $\rho = \rho(M)$ such that $M^{\rho+\gamma} = M^{\gamma}$. If $M$~is primitive, then $\gamma$~equals the exponent and the index of maximum density of~$M$, and $\rho = 1$. Let $\alpha$ denote the maximum number of nodes in any of the transitive subtournaments~$T^{(j)}$ in the decomposition of~$T_{n}$ and let $\beta = \max (k_{i} : i \not\in J)$. (We adopt the convention that the maximum of an empty set is zero.) \begin{Theorem}{22.} If $M$~is the matrix of the tournament~$T_{n}$, then \[ \gamma(M) = \max(\alpha, \beta) \leq n + 2 \] and \[ \rho(M) = \begin{cases} 3 & \text{if some irreducible subtournament~$T^{(i)}$ has three nodes,} \\ 1 & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases} \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. It follows from~\Eq{(1)} that \[ \gamma(M) = \max \bigl(\gamma(M_{i}) : i = 1, 2, \dots, l\bigr). \] However, \[ \alpha = \max \bigl(\gamma(M_{j}) : j \in J\bigr) \] and \[ \beta = \max (k_{i} : i \not\in J) = \max \bigl(\gamma(M_{i}) : i \not\in J\bigr). \] This suffices to establish the first part of the theorem; the second part is obvious. \begin{Theorem}{23.} If $n \geq 16$ and $1 \leq k \leq n + 2$, then there exists a tournament~$T_{n}$ with index~$k$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. The transitive tournament~$T_{n}$ has index one for all~$n$. In view of \ThmRef{20}, it remains only to exhibit a tournament~$T_{n}$ with index two for $n \geq 16$. If $n \geq 16$, let $n = 3h + r$, where $r = 16$,~$17$, or~$18$, and $h$~is an integer. Let $T_{n}$~be the tournament that can be decomposed in the manner described earlier into the subtournaments~$T^{(i)}$ ($i = 1, 2, \dots, h + 2$), where $T^{(i)}$~is the transitive tournament~$T_{r-7}$, $T^{(2)}$~is the tournament~$T_{7}$ in which $p_{i} \to p_{j}$ if and only if $j - i$ is a quadratic residue modulo seven, and the tournament~$T^{(i)}$ is a $3$-cycle, for $i = 3, 4, \dots, h + 2$. It is a simple exercise to verify that $T_{n}$~has index two. (Notice that the $3$-cycles $T^{(i)}$ ($i \geq 3$) have no \Typo{affect}{effect} on the \PageSep{39} index of~$T_{n}$; they merely extend the basic construction to tournaments with an arbitrary number~$n$ of nodes, where $n \geq 16$.) \Exercises \Ex{1.} If $s_{n}$ and $s_{1}$ denote the largest and smallest scores in a primitive tournament~$T_{n}$ \index{Score of a node}% ($n \geq 5$), then show that the exponent satisfies the inequality $e \leq 5 + s_{n} - s_{1}$. \Ex{2.} Determine the exponents of the primitive tournaments with at most five nodes. \Ex{3.} Supply the details omitted in the proofs of Theorems 20~and~23. \Ex{4.} Verify Equation~\Eq{(1)} in the proof of \ThmRef{21}. \Ex{5.} Determine whether there exist tournament matrices~$M_{n}$ with index two when $n < 16$. \Ex{6.} Prove that almost all tournament matrices~$M_{n}$ are primitive with exponent three. \Section{14.}{Scheduling a Tournament} If $n$~players are to participate in a round-robin tournament~$T_{n}$, then the \index{Tournament!round-robin}% problem arises of scheduling the matches between the players. When $n$~is even, the $\nf{1}{2} n(n - 1)$ matches can be split into $n - 1$ rounds of $\nf{1}{2} n$~matches each in such a way that every pair of players meet exactly once; when $n$~is odd, an extra round is needed. We may suppose that $n$~is even, for if $n$~is odd we may introduce an imaginary player~$P$ and let each player sit out the round in which he is matched with~$P$. We now outline a simple scheme Reisz (1859) gave for scheduling the matches of a round-robin tournament \index[xauthor]{Reisz, M.}% between an even number~$n$ of players. First write the pairs $(1, 2)$, $(1, 3)$,~\dots, $(1, n)$ in the first column of an $n - 1$~by $n - 1$ table. Then, for $i = 2, 3, \dots, n - 1$, write the pairs $(i, i + 1)$, $(i, i + 2)$,~\dots, $(i, n)$ in the $i$th~column, beginning in the first row below the row containing $(i - 1, i)$ that does not already contain an~$i$ or an~$i + 1$, and returning to the top of the column when the bottom is reached. Whenever this rule would place an entry $(i, j)$ in a position in a row that already contains an~$i$ or a~$j$, leave the position vacant and place $(i, j)$ in the next admissible position. When all the pairs $(i, j)$ with $1 \leq i 0$. If this method is used, then the matrix~$M$ in Equations \Eq{(3)}~and~\Eq{(4)} is replaced by $M + rI$. This is still somewhat arbitrary and it seems that the only reason for the~$rI$ is to ensure that the matrix used in \Eq{(3)}~and~\Eq{(4)} is \PageSep{46} primitive. But the matrix of an irreducible tournament~$T_{n}$ is itself primitive \index{Irreducible tournament}% if $n \geq 4$ so that there is no need for the~$rI$ in this case, especially since it has no effect upon the final relative strength vector obtained.

If the players are ranked in this way, does this imply that the players are ranked according to the number of matches they have won? \Ex{5.} The relative weakness vector of the participants in a tournament~$T_{n}$ may be defined as the vector obtained by applying the Kendall-Wei method to the transpose of the matrix of~$T_{n}$.

Apply this method to the tournament~$T_{6}$ considered in this section. \Section[The Minimum Number of Comparisons Necessary] {16.}{The Minimum Number of Comparisons Necessary to Determine a Transitive Tournament} \index{Transitive tournament}% If one knows in advance that a dominance relation defined on a set of~$n$ \index{Dominance relation}% \index{Ranking problems}% ($n \geq 4$) objects is transitive, then it is not necessary to compare all the $\dbinom{n}{2}$ pairs of the objects in order to determine the transitive tournament~$T_{n}$ that this relation defines. (For example, one might use a balance scale to rank according to weight $n$~objects, no two of which had the same weight.) The number of comparisons necessary to rank the $n$~objects will depend on the order in which they are compared, in general. We now give bounds for~$M(n)$, the least integer~$M$ such that at most $M$ comparisons are necessary to rank $n$~objects according to some transitive relation. \begin{Theorem}{24.} If $n = 2^{t-1} + r$, where $0 \leq r < 2^{i-1}$ and $n > 2$, then \[ 1 + \bigl[\log_{2} (n!)\bigr] \leq M(n) \leq 1 + nt - 2^{t} \leq 1 + n[\log_{2} n]. \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. The lower bound follows immediately from the observation [see Ford and Johnson (1959)] that, if $M$~comparisons will always suffice \index[xauthor]{Ford, L. R., Jr.}% \index[xauthor]{Johnson, S. M.}% to rank $n$~objects, then it must be that $2^{M} \geq n!$, since after $M$~comparisons we can distinguish at most $2^{M}$~alternatives and we must be able to distinguish between the $n!$~possible rankings. The upper bound follows from a construction due to Steinhaus (1950). \index[xauthor]{Steinhaus, H.}% Compare any two of the objects at the outset. If $k$~objects have been ranked relative to each other, compare any $(k + 1)$st object~$A$ with one of the objects, say~$B$, ranked in the middle of these $k$ objects. Next, compare~$A$ with one of the objects ranked in the middle of those objects already ranked above or below~$B$, according as $A$~dominates~$B$ or $B$~dominates~$A$. If this procedure is repeated, the position of~$A$ relative to the $k$~objects already ranked will be determined after $1 + [\log_{2} k]$ comparisons. Thus, if $n = 2^{t-1} + r$, where $0 \leq r < 2^{i-1}$, the total number of matches necessary to rank the $n$~objects is at most \begin{multline*} (n - 1) + [\log_{2} 2] + [\log_{2} 3] + \dots + \bigl[\log_{2} (n - 1)\bigr] \\ \begin{aligned} &= (n - 1) + 2(1) + 2^{2}(2) + 2^{3}(3) + \dots + 2^{t-2} (t - 2) + r(t - 1) \\ &= (n - 1) + 2\bigl[1 + (t - 3) 2^{t-2}\bigr] + (n - 2^{t-1})(t - 1) \\ &= 1 + nt - 2^{t} \leq 1 + n[\log_{2} n]. \end{aligned} \end{multline*} \PageSep{48} Ford and Johnson (1959) have given a somewhat sharper upper bound by \index[xauthor]{Ford, L.

Kislicyn (1963) has given an asymptotic bound for the least mean number \index[xauthor]{Kislicyn, S. S.}% of comparisons necessary to rank $n$~objects.

For every positive integer~$n$, let \index{Isomorphic tournaments}% \index{Subtournament}% $\lambda(n)$ denote the least integer~$N$ for which there exists an $n$-universal tournament~$T_{N}$. (It is clear that $\lambda(n)$~is finite, since any tournament that contains disjoint copies of all the different tournaments~$T_{n}$ is $n$-universal.) %[** TN: Added period after "25" for cross-referencing] \begin{Theorem}{25.} \[ 2^{(1/2)(n-1)} \leq \lambda(n) \leq \begin{cases} n · 2^{(1/2)(n-1)} & \text{if $n$~is odd,} \\ \dfrac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} n · 2^{(1/2)(n-1)} & \text{if $n$~is even.} \end{cases} \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. There are at least $2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}/n!$ different tournaments~$T_{n}$ (the labelings assigned to the nodes are immaterial to the problem). Hence, if $T_{N}$~is $n$-universal, it must be that \[ 2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}/n! \leq \binom{N}{n} \leq \frac{N^{n}}{n!}, \] since different tournaments~$T_{n}$ must be isomorphic to different subtournaments with $n$~nodes of~$T_{N}$. The lower bound for~$\lambda(n)$ is an immediate consequence of this inequality. To obtain an upper bound for~$\lambda(n)$, we proceed as follows. Let $R_{n}$~be any tournament with nodes $y_{1}, y_{2}, \dots, y_{n}$ and let $Y_{i} = \{y_{k} : y_{k} \to y_{i}\}$ for each~$i$. Construct a tournament~$H$ whose nodes~$q_{i,A}$ are in one-to-one correspondence with the ordered pairs~$(i, A)$ where $A \subset Y_{i}$. If $A \subset Y_{i}$, $B \subset Y_{j}$, and $y_{i} \to y_{j}$, then $q_{1,A} \to q_{j,B}$ in~$H$ if $y_{i} \in B$, and $q_{j,B} \to q_{i, A}$ if $y_{i} \not\in B$. The arcs joining nodes of the type $q_{i,A_{1}}$ and $q_{i,A_{2}}$ may be oriented arbitrarily. (The tournament obtained when $R_{n}$~is a $3$-cycle is illustrated in \Figure{8}. The notation used should be obvious.) \PageSep{50} \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic{fig8} \FCaption{Figure 8} \end{figure} We now show that $H$~is $n$-universal. If the nodes of a tournament~$T_{n}$ are $p_{1}, p_{2}, \dots, p_{n}$, we set $f(p_{i}) = q_{i,A(i)}$, where $A(i) = \{y_{k} : y_{k} \to y_{i} \text{ in } R_{n} \text{ and } p_{k} \to p_{i} \text{ in } T_{n}\}$. The subtournament of~$H$ determined by the nodes~$f(p_{i})$ is isomorphic to~$T_{n}$, since, if $y_{i} \to y_{j}$ in~$R_{n}$, then \[ (p_{i} \to p_{j}) \implies \bigl(p_{i} \in A(j)\bigr) \implies (q_{i,A(i)} \to q_{j,A(j)}) \implies \bigl(f(p_{i}) \to f(p_{j})\bigr) \] and \[ (p_{j} \to p_{i}) \implies \bigl(p_{i} \not\in A(j)\bigr) \implies (q_{j,A(j)} \to q_{i,A(i)}) \implies \bigl(f(p_{j}) \to f(p_{i})\bigr). \] Therefore, \[ \lambda(n) \leq (\text{number of nodes of~$H$}) = 2^{|Y_{1}|} + 2^{|Y_{2}|} + \dots + 2^{|Y_{n}|}. \] To minimize this sum, let $R_{n}$ be the regular tournament defined in \SecRef{5} \index{Regular tournament}% for which \begin{align*} |Y_{1}| &= \dots = |Y_{n}| = \nf{1}{2}(n - 1),\quad\text{if $n$~is odd,} \intertext{and} |Y_{1}| &= \dots = |Y_{(1/2)n}| = \nf{1}{2}n \\ |Y_{(1/2)n+1}| &= \dots = |Y_{n}| = \nf{1}{2}(n - 2),\quad\text{if $n$~is even.} \end{align*} Hence, \[ \lambda(n) \leq n · 2^{\Chg{1/2}{(1/2)}(n-1)}\quad\text{if $n$ is odd,} \] and \[ \lambda(n) \leq \nf{1}{2} n · 2^{(1/2)n} + \nf{1}{2} n · 2^{(1/2)(n-2)} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}} n · 2^{(1/2)(n-1)},\quad\text{if $n$~is even.} \] This completes the proof of the theorem. \PageSep{51} \index[xauthor]{Debruijn@de Bruijn, N.

In order to prove these results for tournaments, it is necessary to prove them for oriented graphs in general. (Recall that an oriented graph differs from a tournament in that not all pairs of \index{Tournament!bipartite}% nodes need be joined by an arc.) Recall that an $a$~by~$b$ bipartite tournament consists of two disjoint sets $A$~and~$B$ containing $a$~and $b$ nodes, respectively, such that each node in~$A$ is joined by an arc to each node in~$B$. We shall consider special $a$~by~$b$ bipartite graphs $H(a, b)$ in which all the arcs are similarly oriented, say, from the nodes in~$A$ to the nodes in~$B$. A \emph{bilevel graph}~$H$ is any oriented graph \index{Bilevel graph}% that can be expressed as the union of disjoint special graphs $H(a_{i}, b_{i})$; the graphs $H(a_{i}, b_{i})$ are called the \emph{components} of~$H$. (We admit the possibility \index{Components of a bilevel graph}% that one of the node sets of one of the components of~$H$ is empty.) The structure of a typical bilevel graph with four components is illustrated in \Figure{9}. \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic[3in]{fig9} \FCaption{Figure 9} \end{figure} We are going to prove that any oriented graph with $n$~nodes can be expressed as the union of $cn/\log n$~or fewer arc-disjoint bilevel graphs, where $c$~is a certain constant. First, however, we prove several lemmas. The (\emph{total}) \emph{degree} of a node in an oriented graph is the total number of \index{Degree of a node}% arcs incident with it. The following lemma and some subsequent statements \PageSep{52} are valid only for large values of~$n$; when this is clear from the context, we shall not mention this qualification explicitly. \begin{Lemma}[1.] Let $G$~be an oriented graph with $n$~nodes and $e$~arcs such that \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+4}} < e \leq \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+1}} \] for some nonnegative integer~$r$ where $\dfrac{\log n}{3(r + 3)} \geq 1$. Then $G$~contains a special bipartite tournament $H(a, b)$ with $a = [\sqrt{n}]$ and $b = \left[\dfrac{\log n}{3(r + 3)}\right]$ where the degrees of the nodes of~$A$ do not exceed~$\dfrac{16n}{2^{r}}$ in~$G$. \end{Lemma} \Proof. There can be at most $n/2^{r+4}$ nodes whose degrees exceed $16n/2^{r}$ in~$G$, for otherwise there would be too many arcs in~$G$. Hence, there are fewer than $n^{2}/2^{2r+9}$ arcs joining two such nodes. If we disregard such arcs, there will remain more than $n^{2}/2^{2r+5}$ arcs with the property that at least one of the nodes they join has degree at most~$16n/2^{r}$. Let $y_{1}, y_{2}, \dots, y_{t}$ denote the nodes whose degrees in~$G$ were at most $16n/2^{r}$ originally. Then it must be that \[ n \left(1 - \frac{1}{2^{r+4}}\right) \leq t \leq n. \] If $s_{i}$ denotes the number of arcs oriented away from~$y_{i}$, then we may assume that \[ \sum_{i=1}^{t} s_{i} \geq \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+6}}. \] (If this inequality is not satisfied, then in the special graph $H(a, b)$ all the arcs will be oriented from the nodes of~$B$ to the nodes of~$A$, but this will not affect the result.) The number~$N$ of sets~$B$ of $b$~nodes for which there exists some node~$y_{i}$ ($1 \leq i \leq t$) such that $y_{i}$~dominates every node of~$B$ is given by the formula \[ N = \sum_{i=1}^{t} \binom{s_{i}}{b}. \] {\Loosen (If there are $h$~nodes~$y_{i}$ that dominate every node of~$B$, then $B$~is counted $h$~times in this sum.) This sum will be minimized when $t = n$ and $s_{i} = \bigl[n/(2^{\Erratum{2r+5}{2r+6}})\bigr]$. If we can show that} \[ N \geq n \binom{\left[\dfrac{n}{2^{2r+6}}\right]}{b} > (a - 1) \binom{n}{b}, \Tag{(1)} \] then it will follow from the box principle that at least one set~$B$ is counted at least $a$~times; this means that there exists a set~$A$ of $a$~nodes (chosen from \PageSep{53} the nodes whose degrees in~$G$ were at most $16n/2^{r}$ originally) and a set~$B$ of $b$~nodes such that every node in~$A$ dominates every node in~$B$. It is not difficult to show (see Exercise~1) that inequality~\Eq{(1)} does in fact hold when \[ a = [\sqrt{n}]\quad\text{and}\quad b = \left[\frac{\log n}{3(r + 3)}\right]. \] This completes the proof of Lemma~1. \begin{Lemma}[2.] Let $G$ be an oriented graph with $n$~nodes and $e$~arcs such that \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+3}} < e \leq \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+1}} \] for some nonnegative integer~$r$ such that $r \leq 4\log\log n$. Then $G$~contains a bilevel graph with at least $(n \log n)/(r + 3) 2^{r+11}$ arcs. \end{Lemma} \Proof. We first disregard all arcs that join two nodes whose degrees exceed $16n/2^{r}$; as before, there are fewer than $n^{2}/2^{2r+9}$ such arcs so there certainly remain more than $n^{2}/2^{2r+13/4}$ arcs. Let $H_{1}$~be the special subgraph of~$G$ described in Lemma~1. Since the degrees of the nodes in $A_{1}$ and~$B_{1}$ are at most $16n/2^{r}$ and $n - 1$, respectively, it follows that the number of arcs incident with nodes of $A_{1} \cup B_{1}$ is less than \[ n \left(\frac{16\sqrt{n}}{2^{r}} + \log n\right) < \frac{17 n^{3/2}}{2^{r}}. \] If we disregard these arcs, there still remain more than \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+13/4}} - \frac{17 n^{3/2}}{2^{r}} > \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+4}} \] arcs. We now apply Lemma~1 again to obtain a special subgraph~$H_{2}$. (The arcs in~$H_{i}$ need not all be oriented from nodes in~$A_{i}$ to nodes in~$B_{i}$; it may be that they are all oriented from nodes in~$B_{i}$ to nodes in~$A_{i}$.) We now disregard the arcs incident with the nodes of~$H_{2}$ and apply Lemma~1 again. When we have repeated this procedure $\bigl[\sqrt{n}/(17 · 2^{r+5})\bigr]$ times, we are left with a graph that still has more than \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+13/4}} - \frac{17 n^{3/2}}{2^{r}} \left[\frac{\sqrt{n}}{17 · 2^{r+5}}\right] > \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+4}} \] arcs. If we apply Lemma~1 once more, then the bilevel graph with components~$H_{i}$, $i = 1, 2, \dots, \bigl[\sqrt{n}/(17·2^{r+5})\bigr] + 1$, has at least \[ \left(\left[\frac{\sqrt{n}}{17 · 2^{r+5}}\right] + 1\right) · [\sqrt{n}] · \left[\frac{\log n}{3(r + 3)}\right] > \frac{n \log n}{(r + 3) · 2^{r+11}} \] arcs. This proves the lemma. \PageSep{54} \begin{Lemma}[3.] If $G$~is an oriented graph with $e$~arcs, then $G$~contains a bilevel subgraph with at least $\nf{1}{2}\sqrt{e}$ arcs. \end{Lemma} \Proof. This is trivially true when $e = 0$; the proof of the general case is by induction. Let $p$ be one of the nodes of largest degree~$d$ in~$G$. We may suppose that at least $\nf{1}{2}d$~arcs are oriented away from~$p$; use these arcs to form one component of a bilevel subgraph of~$G$. If $\alpha$~denotes the number of arcs that are incident with any nodes that are joined to~$p$, then $0 < \alpha \leq \min(d^{2}, e)$. We may now apply the induction hypothesis to the other $e - \alpha$ arcs and assert that $G$~has a bilevel subgraph with at least \[ \nf{1}{2}(d + \sqrt{e - \alpha}) \geq \nf{1}{2} \sqrt{e} \Tag{(2)} \] arcs. \begin{Lemma}[4.] If $G$~is an oriented graph with $e$~arcs, then $G$~can be expressed as the union of fewer that $4\sqrt{e}$ arc-disjoint bilevel graphs. \end{Lemma} \Proof. Suppose that $G$~is the union of $t$~arc-disjoint bilevel graphs with $e_{1}, e_{2}, \dots, e_{t}$ arcs, respectively, where $e_{1} \leq e_{2} \leq \dots \leq e_{t}$. In view of Lemma~3, we may assume that \[ e_{i} \geq \nf{1}{2}\sqrt{e_{1} + e_{2} + \dots + e_{i}} \] or \[ 4e_{i}^{2} - e_{i} \geq e_{1} + e_{2} + \dots + e_{i-1} \] for each~$i$. From this inequality it follows by induction that $e_{i} \geq \nf{1}{8}i$ for each~$i$. Therefore \[ e = e_{1} + e_{2} + \dots + e_{i} \geq \nf{1}{8} \binom{t + 1}{2} > (\nf{1}{4}t)^{2}, \] or $t < 4\sqrt{e}$. We can now prove the following theorem due to Erdös and Moser (1964a). \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% \begin{Theorem}{26.} There exists a constant~$c$ such that any oriented graph~$G$ with $n$~nodes can be expressed as the union of $l$~arc-disjoint bilevel graphs, all of which have the same $n$~nodes, where \[ l \leq \frac{cn}{\log n}. \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. We define oriented graphs $G_{i}$ and~$G^{(i)}$ inductively for $i = 1, 2, \dots, \bigl[2^{13}(n/\log n)\bigr]$. The graph~$G^{(i)}$ is obtained from~$G$ by removing the arcs of $G_{1}, G_{2}, \dots, G_{i}$. Let $G_{1}$~be a bilevel subgraph of~$G$ with a maximal number of arcs and let $G_{i+1}$~be similarly defined with respect to~$G^{(i)}$. (We may suppose that all the graphs~$G_{i}$ have $n$~nodes.) \PageSep{55} If there are $e_{i}$~arcs in~$G^{(i)}$ and if $i_{r}$~is the smallest integer such that \[ e_{i_{r}} \leq \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+1}}, \quad\text{for $r = 0, 1, \dots, [4\log\log n]$,} \] then we shall show that \[ i_{r+1} - i_{r} \leq 2^{11} · \frac{r + 3}{2^{r+1}} · \frac{n}{\log n}. \Tag{(3)} \] We may suppose that \[ e_{i_{r}} > \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+3}},\quad\text{for $i_{r+1} - i_{r} = 0$} \] otherwise. If $i_{r} \leq j < i_{r+1}$, then \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+3}} < e_{j} \leq \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+1}}. \] Hence, $G^{(j)}$~contains a bilevel subgraph with at least \[ \frac{n \log n}{(r + 3) 2^{r+11}} \] arcs, by Lemma~2. This implies that \[ e_{j} - e_{j+1} \geq \frac{n \log n}{(r + 3) 2^{r+11}}. \] If we sum this inequality over all~$j$ such that $i_{r} \leq j < i_{r+1}$, we find that \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2r+1}} \geq e_{i_{r}} - e_{i_{r+1}} = \sum (e_{j} - e_{j+1}) \geq (i_{r+1} - i_{r}) · \frac{n \log n}{(r + 3) 2^{r+11}}. \] This implies inequality~\Eq{(3)}. Therefore, upon removing at most \[ \sum_{0 \leq r \leq [4\log\log n]} (i_{r+1} - i_{r}) < \frac{2^{11} n}{\log n} \sum_{r=0}^{\infty} \frac{r + 3}{2^{r+1}} = \frac{2^{13} n}{\log n} \] arc-disjoint bilevel graphs~$G_{i}$, we are left with a graph~$G'$ that has at most \[ \frac{n^{2}}{2^{2([4\log\log n] + 1) + 1}} < \frac{n^{2}}{(\log n)^{5}} \] arcs. But $G'$~is the union of fewer than $4n/(\log n)^{5/2}$ arc-disjoint bilevel graphs by Lemma~4. This completes the proof of \ThmRef{25}. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Prove that inequality~\Eq{(1)} holds when $a = [\sqrt{n}]$ and $b = \left[\dfrac{\log n}{3(r + 3)}\right]$. \Ex{2.} Verify inequality~\Eq{(2)}. \PageSep{56} \Section{19.}{Oriented Graphs Induced by Voting Patterns} \index{Oriented graph}% Suppose that $m$~voters each rank $n$~objects $1, 2, \dots, n$ in order of preference. \index{Voters}% Their preferences may be represented by an $m$~by~$n$ matrix~$M$, each row of which is a permutation of the objects $1, 2, \dots, n$. The collective preferences of these voters induce an oriented graph~$H_{n}$ with $n$~nodes $p_{1}, p_{2}, \dots, p_{n}$ in which the arc~$\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$ goes from node~$p_{i}$ to node~$p_{j}$ if and only if $i$~precedes~$j$ in a majority of the $m$~rows of the matrix~$M$. This graph will be a tournament, unless $m$~is even and some ties occur; then certain nodes will not be joined by an arc. Even though each voter's preferences are transitive, the collective \index{Preference matrix}% preferences determined by the majority rule need not be transitive. For example, three voters who rank three objects according to the preference matrix \[ M = \left|\begin{array}{*{3}{c}} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 2 & 3 & 1 \\ 3 & 1 & 2 \end{array}\right| \] induce a $3$-cycle that is certainly not transitive. McGarvey (1953) has shown that at most $n(n - 1)$ voters are necessary to \index[xauthor]{MacGarvey@McGarvey, D. S.}% induce any oriented graph~$H_{n}$. He associates a pair of voters with each arc in the graph. The two voters associated with the arc~$\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$ rank the $n$~objects in the orders $(i, j, 1, 2, \dots, n)$ and $(n, n - 1, \dots, 1, i, j)$. Each pair of voters thus determines one arc~$\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$, since the preferences of the remaining voters cancel out with respect to $i$~and~$j$. Stearns (1959) showed, by a more complicated construction, that at most \index[xauthor]{Stearns, R.}% $n + 2$ voters are necessary to induce any oriented graph~$H_{n}$; he also showed that at least $\nf{1}{2} \log 3(n/\log n)$ voters are necessary in some cases. This lower bound is combined with an upper bound due to Erdös and Moser (1964a) \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% in the following result. \begin{Theorem}{27.} If $m(n)$ denotes the least integer~$m$ such that at most $m$ voters are necessary to induce any oriented graph~$H_{n}$ ($n > 1$), then there exist constants $c_{1}$ and~$c_{2}$ such that \[ \frac{c_{1} n}{\log n} < m(n) < \frac{c_{2} n}{\log n}. \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. If no more than $m$ voters are necessary to induce each of the $3^{\ebinom{n}{2}}$ oriented graphs~$H_{n}$, then it must be that \[ 3^{\ebinom{n}{2}} \leq (n! + 1)^{m}, \] \PageSep{57} since each of the $m$ possible voters can vote in one of $n!$ ways or not vote at all. The lower bound is obtained by solving for~$m$. We assert that any bilevel graph~$H$ can be induced by two voters. For, \index{Bilevel graph}% suppose that $H$~has three components and that $A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}$ and $B_{1}, B_{2}, B_{3}$ are \index{Components of a bilevel graph}% the node sets of the components. If \[ A_{i} = \{a_{ij} : j = 1, 2, \dots, j_{i}\}\quad\text{and}\quad B_{i} = \{b_{ik} : k = 1, 2, \dots, k_{i}\}, \] then $H$~can be induced by the preference matrix \[ \setlength{\arraycolsep}{0pt} \Squeeze{\left|\begin{array}{*{13}{c}} a_{11}a_{12} & \dots & a_{\Typo{i}{1}j_{1}}b_{11}b_{12} & \dots & b_{1k_{1}}a_{21}a_{22} & \dots & a_{2j_{2}}b_{21}b_{22} & \dots & b_{2k_{2}}a_{31}a_{32} & \dots & a_{3j_{3}}b_{31}b_{32} & \dots & b_{3k_{3}} \\ a_{3j_{3}} & \dots & a_{32}a_{31}b_{3k_{3}} & \dots & b_{32}b_{31}a_{2j_{2}} & \dots & a_{22}a_{21}b_{2k_{2}} & \dots & b_{22}b_{21}a_{1j_{1}} & \dots & a_{12}a_{11}b_{1k_{1}} & \dots & b_{12}b_{11} \end{array}\right|.} \] This construction can easily be extended to the general case. Therefore, if an oriented graph~$H_{n}$ can be expressed as the union of $l$~arc-disjoint bilevel graphs with $n$~nodes, then $H_{n}$~can be induced by $2l$~voters. The upper bound for~$m(n)$ now follows from \ThmRef{26}. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Prove the following results about the least integer $g = g(n)$ such that at most $g$ voters are necessary to induce any tournament~$T_{n}$, where $n \geq 2$. \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] $g(n)$ is always odd. \item[(b)] $g(3) = g(4) = g(5) = 3$. \item[(c)] $g(n + 1) \leq g(n) + 2$. \item[(d)] $m(n) < 2g(n)$.

If the players on Team~$A$ collectively win more games than they lose against players on Team~$B$, then we say that Team~$A$ is stronger than Team~$B$ (symbolically, $A > B$). \PageSep{58} We admit the possibility of draws, both between individual players and between teams. We denote both the names and the strengths of players by a single number and we assume that the stronger player wins in any match between two players. [Steinhaus and Trybula (1959) have mentioned a \index[xauthor]{Steinhaus, H.}% \index[xauthor]{Trybula, S.}% possible industrial application of this method of comparing two samples of objects.] Let $N$~players $p_{1}, p_{2}, \dots, p_{N}$ be split into~$n$ ($n > 1$) nonempty teams $T_{1}, T_{2}, \dots, T_{n}$ and suppose that every team is compared with every other team. This induces an oriented graph~$H_{n}$ with $n$~nodes $t_{1}, t_{2}, \dots, t_{n}$ in which the arc~$\Arc{t_{i}t_{j}}$ goes from node~$t_{i}$ to node~$t_{j}$ if and only if $T_{i} > T_{j}$. For example, the teams $T_{1} = \{6, 7, 2\}$, $T_{2} = \{1, 5, 9\}$, and $T_{3} = \{8, 3, 4\}$ induce the $3$-cycle in \Figure{10}. \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic[1.25in]{fig10} \FCaption{Figure 10} \end{figure} We now show that any oriented graph can be induced by comparing appropriate teams. If the teams $T_{1}, T_{2}, \dots, T_{n}$ generate the oriented graph~$H_{n}$, let $\alpha(i, j)$ denote the number of games won minus the number of games lost by players of~$T_{i}$ against players of~$T_{j}$. (For example, $\alpha(1, 2) = \alpha(2, 3) = \alpha(3, 1) = 1$ in the illustration in \Figure{10}.) We call $\alpha(i, j)$ the \emph{net score} of~$T_{i}$ against~$T_{j}$; \index{Net score}% notice that $\alpha(j, i) = -\alpha(i, j)$. If $w$ and $s$ denote the strengths of the weakest and strongest players on the $n$~teams, let $w_{1}, w_{2}, s_{1}$, and~$s_{2}$ be any numbers such that $w_{1} = w_{2} < w$ and $s_{1} > s_{2} > s$. Add two players of strength $w_{1}$~and $s_{1}$ to~$T_{i}$ and two players \index{Strength of a player}% $w_{2}$~and $s_{2}$ to~$T_{j}$. This will \Erratum{insrease}{increase} $\alpha(i, j)$ by one, but the net scores between all other pairs of teams will not be affected (see Exercise~1). We may assume that initially there are $n$~players of equal strength, one on each team; the net scores are all zero and the induced graph has no arcs. The process described in the preceding paragraph can now be repeated as often as necessary. We conclude, therefore, that if the (nonnegative) net scores between the teams are prescribed in advance and their sum is~$\beta$, then no more than $n + 4\beta$ players are necessary to realize these scores. In particular, any oriented graph~$H_{n}$ (for which the corresponding net scores would all be zero or one) may be induced by $n + 4 \dbinom{n}{2} = 2n^{2} - n$ or fewer players. The preceding argument is due to Moser; Moon and Moser (1967) \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% gave the following sharper result that, in a sense, is the best possible. \PageSep{59} \begin{Theorem}{28.} If $N(n)$ denotes the least integer~$N$ such that at most $N$ players are necessary to induce any oriented graph~$H_{n}$ ($n > 1$), then there exist constants $c_{1}$~and $c_{2}$ such that \[ \frac{c_{1} n^{2}}{\log n} < N(n) < \frac{c_{2} n^{2}}{\log n}. \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. If $m$~players can induce the graph~$H_{n}$, let $h_{i}$~denote the number of players that have strength~$i$; we may suppose there exists an integer~$t$ not exceeding~$m$ such that $h_{i} > 0$ for $i = 1, 2, \dots, t$ and \[ h_{1} + h_{2} + \dots + h_{t} = m. \] The number of solutions in positive integers to this equation is~$2^{m-1}$ and the $m$~players corresponding to each solution can be split into $n$~teams in at most $n^{m}$~ways. Consequently, if $N$~or fewer players suffice to induce every oriented graph~$H_{n}$, it must be that \[ 3^{\ebinom{n}{2}} \leq \nf{1}{2} \sum_{m=1}^{N} (2n)^{m} < (2n)^{N}, \] or \[ N > \frac{\log 3}{2}\, \frac{n(n - 1)}{\log (2n)}, \] since each allocation of players determines at most one graph. This implies the lower bound of the theorem. We assert that any bilevel graph~$H_{n}$ can be induced by $2n$~players, two \index{Bilevel graph}% on each team. For, suppose that $H_{n}$~has three components and that $A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}$ \index{Components of a bilevel graph}% and $B_{1}, B_{2}, B_{3}$ are the node sets of the components; then $H_{n}$~is induced if each node in the various node sets is associated with the team indicated in the following list. \begin{alignat*}{3} &A_{1}: (1, 10)\quad &&A_{2}: (2, 8)\quad &&A_{3}: (3, 6) \\ &B_{1}: (1, 9) &&B_{2}: (2, 7) &&B_{3}: (3, 5) \end{alignat*} It is easy to extend this construction to the general case. Suppose the oriented graph~$H_{n}$ can be expressed as the union of $l$~arc-disjoint bilevel graphs~$B^{(k)}$ ($k = 1, 2, \dots, l$), all of which have the same $n$ nodes. We know that there exist teams~$R_{ki}$ of two players each such that the teams~$R_{ki}$ ($i = 1, 2, \dots, n$) induce the bilevel graph~$B^{(k)}$ ($k = 1, 2, \dots, l$). We may assume that every player on any team~$R_{kj}$ is stronger than every player on any team~$R_{hi}$ ($1 \leq h < k \leq l$). [This property can be ensured by adding a suitable constant~$c_{k}$ to the strength of every player on the team~$R_{ki}$ ($k = 1, 2, \dots, l$), if necessary.] The teams \[ T_{i} = \bigcup_{k=1}^{l} R_{ki},\quad i = 1, 2, \dots, n, \] \PageSep{60} have $2l$~players each and it is not difficult to see that they generate the oriented graph~$H_{n}$. Therefore, if an oriented graph~$H_{n}$ can be expressed as the union of $l$~arc-disjoint bilevel graphs with $n$~nodes, then $H_{n}$~can be induced by $2ln$~players. This implies the upper bound for~$N(n)$ since, by \ThmRef{26}, we may suppose that $l \leq cn/\log n$. There are certain rather curious aspects of this mode of comparing teams. In the example illustrated in \Figure{10}, the teams $T_{1}, T_{2}$, and~$T_{3}$ were such that $T_{1} > T_{2}$ and $T_{2} > T_{3}$. One might expect that $T_{1} \cup T_{2} > T_{2} \cup T_{3}$, and this is indeed the case. However, since $T_{1} < T_{3}$, one might equally well expect that $T_{1} \cup T_{2} < T_{2} \cup T_{3}$, and this is false. The following example is perhaps more striking. If $A = \{2, 3, 10\}$ and $B = \{1, 8, 9\}$ then $A > B$ by $5$~wins to~$4$. If $A_{1} = A \cup \{5\}$ and $B_{1} = B \cup \{4\}$, then the teams $A_{1}$~and~$B_{1}$ are tied with $8$~wins each. If $A_{2} = A_{1} \cup \{7\}$ and $B_{2} = B_{1} \cup \{6\}$, then $B_{2} > A_{2}$ by $13$~wins to~$12$. Notice that at each stage we added the stronger player to the team that was stronger originally, yet the net effect was to reverse the relative strengths of the two teams. This process can be continued. If $A_{3} = A_{2} \cup \{12\}$ and $B_{3} = B_{2} \cup \{11\}$, then $A_{3}$~and~$B_{3}$ are tied with $18$~wins each. Finally, if $A_{4} = A_{3} \cup \{14\}$ and $\Typo{B_{4} \cup \{13\}}{B_{4} = B_{3} \cup \{13\}}$, then $A_{4} > B_{4}$ by $25$~wins to~$24$. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Verify the unproved assertion about the effect upon the net scores of adding players $w_{1}, s_{1}, w_{2}$, and~$s_{2}$ to $T_{i}$ and~$T_{j}$. \Ex{2.} Show that $N(3) = 7$. \Ex{3.} The first argument in this section shows that $N(n) \leq 2n^{2} - n$. Refine this argument and show by induction that $N(n) \leq n^{2} + 3n - 11$ if $n \geq 3$.

Can the win-loss ratios $w(i, j)/\Typo{w}{l}(i, j)$ be prescribed arbitrarily?

Any $k$ nodes of a tournament are joined by $\dbinom{k}{2}$~arcs, by definition. Consequently, the sum of the scores of any $k$ nodes of a tournament must be at least~$\dbinom{k}{2}$. This shows the necessity of~\Eq{(1)}. The sufficiency of~\Eq{(1)} when $n = 1$ is obvious. The proof for the general case will be by induction. Let $j$~and $k$ be the smallest and largest indices less than~$n$ such that $s_{j} = s_{s_{n}} = s_{k}$. Consider the set of integers $(s_{1}', s_{2}', \dots, s_{n-1}')$ defined as follows: \begin{align*} s_{i}' &= s_{i}\quad\text{if}\quad \begin{aligned}[t] i &= 1, 2, \dots, j - 1\quad\text{or} \\ i &= k - (s_{n} - j), \dots, k - 1, k; \end{aligned} \\ s_{i}' &= s_{i} - 1\quad\text{if}\quad \begin{aligned}[t] i &= j, j + 1, \dots, k - (s_{n} - j) - 1\quad\text{or} \\ i &= k + 1, k + 2, \dots, n - 1. \end{aligned} \end{align*} From this definition, it follows that \[ s_{1}' \leq s_{2}' \leq \dots \leq s_{n-1}', \] that $s_{1}' = s_{i}$ for $s_{n}$~values of~$i$, and that $s_{i}' = s_{i} - 1$ for $(n - 1) - s_{n}$ values of~$i$. Consequently, \[ \sum_{i=1}^{n-1} s_{i}' = \sum_{i=1}^{n} s_{i} - (n - 1) = \binom{n - 1}{2}. \] \PageSep{62} {\Loosen If there exists a tournament $T_{n-1}$ with score vector $(s_{1}', s_{2}', \dots, s_{n-1}')$, then there certainly exists a tournament~$T_{n}$ with score vector $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$; namely, the tournament consisting of~$T_{n-1}$ plus the node~$p_{n}$, where $p_{n}$~dominates the $s_{n}$~nodes $p_{i}$ such that $s_{i}' = s_{i}$ and is dominated by the remaining nodes. Therefore, we need only show that the inequality} \[ \sum_{i=1}^{h} s_{i}' < \binom{h}{2} \Tag{(2)} \] is impossible for every integer~$h$ such that $1 < h < n - 1$ in order to complete the proof by induction. Consider the smallest value of~$h$ for which inequality~\Eq{(2)} holds, if it ever holds. Since \[ \sum_{i=1}^{h-1} s_{i}' \geq \binom{h - 1}{2}, \] it follows that $s_{h} \leq h$. Furthermore, $j \leq h$, since the first $j - 1$ scores were unchanged. Hence, \[ s_{h} = s_{h+1} = \dots = s_{f} \] if we let \[ f = \max(h, k). \] Let $t$ denote the number of values of~$i$ not exceeding~$h$ such that $s_{i}' = s_{i} - 1$.

Gale (1957) and Ryser (1957) found necessary and \index[xauthor]{Gale, D.}% \index[xauthor]{Ryser, H. J.}% sufficient conditions for the existence of a matrix of zeros and ones having prescribed row and column sums. It is not difficult to show that the following statement is equivalent to their theorem [see also Vogel (1963)]. \index[xauthor]{Vogel, W.}% \begin{Corollary} There exists an $m$~by~$n$ matrix of zeros and ones with row sums~$r_{i}$, where $r_{1} \leq r_{2} \dots \leq r_{m}$, and column sums~$c_{j}$, where $c_{1} \geq c_{2} \geq \dots \geq c_{n}$, if and only if \[ \sum_{i=1}^{k} r_{i} + \sum_{j=1}^{i} (m - c_{j}) \geq kl, \] for $k = 0, 1, \dots, m$ and $l = 0, 1, \dots, n$ with equality holding when $k = m$ and $l = n$. \end{Corollary} A \emph{generalized tournament} differs from an ordinary tournament in that \index{Tournament!generalized}% both the arcs $\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$ and $\Arc{p_{j}p_{i}}$ join every pair of distinct nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$; in addition there is a weight~$\alpha_{ij}$ associated with each arc~$\Arc{p_{i}p_{j}}$. Let $G^{*}$~denote some set of real numbers that contains~$1$ and that forms a group with respect to addition. We assume that the weights are nonnegative members \index{Weights associated with arcs}% of~$G^{*}$ and that they satisfy the equation $\alpha_{ij} + \alpha_{ji} = 1$ for all pairs of distinct values of $i$ and~$j$. The score of~$p_{i}$ is then given by the formula \index{Score of a node}% \[ s_{i} = \sum_{\Typo{i}{j}=1}^{n} \alpha_{ij}, \] if we adopt the convention that $\alpha_{ii} = 0$. The following generalization of \ThmRef{29} is valid. \begin{Theorem}{31.} Let $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$, where $s_{1} \leq s_{2} \leq \dots \leq s_{n}$, be a set of numbers belonging to a group~$G^{*}$. Then $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ is the score vector of some generalized tournament whose weights belong to~$G^{*}$ if and only if \[ \sum_{i=1}^{k} s_{i} \geq \binom{k}{2}, \Tag{(1)} \] for $k = 1, 2, \dots, n$ with equality holding when $k = n$. \end{Theorem} Proofs of this have been given by Moon (1963) and Ryser (unpublished) \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% when $G^{*}$~is the group of all real numbers and by Ford and Fulkerson (\Erratum{1962}{1962; p.~41}) \index[xauthor]{Ford, L. R., Jr.}% \index[xauthor]{Fulkerson, D. R.}% when $G^{*}$~is the group consisting of all multiples of~$1/c$ for some integer~$c$. Perhaps the easiest and most natural way to deal with problems of this type is to use the theory of flows in networks. The following result, which \index{Flows in networks}% we state without proof, is an immediate consequence of the supply-demand theorem due to Gale (1957). [See Ford and Fulkerson (1962) for an exposition of the theory of flows in networks.] \begin{Theorem}{32.} Let $\{S_{j} : j = 1, 2, \dots, N\}$ be a family of nonempty subsets of $T = \{1, 2, \dots, m\}$. The numbers $v_{1}$, $v_{2}$,~\dots, $v_{m}$ and $k(S_{1})$, $k(S_{2})$,~\dots, $k(S_{N})$ \PageSep{65} all belong to a set~$G$ of real numbers that forms a group with respect to addition. Then the system of equations \[ \begin{aligned} X_{ij} &= 0\quad\text{if $i \not\in S_{j}$} \\ \sum_{j=1}^{N} X_{ij} &= v_{i}\quad i = 1, 2, \dots, m \\ \sum_{i=1}^{m} X_{ij} &= k(S_{j})\quad j = 1, 2, \dots, N \end{aligned} \Tag{(2)} \] has a nonnegative solution in~$G$ if and only if for every subset~$S$ of~$T$ \[ \sum_{i \in S} v_{i} \geq \sum_{S_{j} \subset S} k(S_{j}), \Tag{(3)} \] with equality holding when $S = T$. \end{Theorem} To deduce \ThmRef{31} from \ThmRef{32}, we let $T$ be the set of nodes of the tournament and let the sets~$S_{j}$ be the pairs of distinct nodes; $k(S_{j}) = 1$ for all~$j$ and $v_{i} = s_{i}$ for all~$i$. Then, if the nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$ form the subset~$S_{l}$, we let $\alpha_{ij} = X_{il}$ and $\alpha_{ji} = X_{jl}$. It follows from~\Eq{(2)} that this will define a generalized tournament with the score vector $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ and it is clear \index{Score vector}% that conditions \Eq{(1)} and~\Eq{(3)} are equivalent. The only difference in proving the corresponding generalization of \ThmRef{30} is that now the sets~$S_{j}$ are the pairs of nodes belonging to different subsets~$P_{i}$ of nodes. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Prove that the corollary to \ThmRef{30} is equivalent to the Gale-Ryser \index[xauthor]{Gale, D.}% \index[xauthor]{Ryser, H. J.}% theorem on the existence of a $(0, 1)$~matrix with prescribed row and column \index{Matrix!of zeros and ones}% sums. \Ex{2.} Deduce \ThmRef{32} from the theorem by Gale (1957). \Ex{3.} Let $M = [\alpha_{ij}]$ be an $n$~by~$n$ matrix of nonnegative real numbers such that $\alpha_{ij} + \alpha_{ji} = 1$ for $1 \leq i, j \leq n$. (In particular, $\alpha_{ii} = \nf{1}{2}$ for all~$i$. We may think of~$M$ as the matrix of a generalized tournament if we wish.) Prove that $M$~is positive semidefinite, that is, that $XMX^{T} \geq 0$ for all real vectors $X = (x_{1}, x_{2}, \dots, x_{n})$. [N.~J. Pullman.] \index[xauthor]{Pullman, N. J.}% \Section{23.}{The Number of Score Vectors} The score vectors of tournaments~$T_{n}$ may be generated by expanding the product \[ P_{n} = \prod_{1 \leq i < j \leq n} (a_{i} + a_{j}). \] \PageSep{66} For example, \begin{align*} P_{3} &= (a_{1} + a_{2})(a_{1} + a_{3})(a_{2} + a_{3}) \\ &= a_{1}^{2} a_{2} + a_{1} a_{2}^{2} + a_{1}^{2} a_{3} + a_{1} a_{3}^{2} + a_{2}^{2} a_{3} + a_{2} a_{3}^{2} + 2a_{1}a_{2}a_{3}, \end{align*} and there are essentially two different score vectors, namely, $(0, 1, 2)$ and $(1, 1, 1)$. David (1959) used this scheme to determine the various score% \index[xauthor]{David, H. A.} vectors and their frequency for $n \leq 8$. Alway (1962b) extended these results \index[xauthor]{Alway, G. G.}% to the cases $n = 9$ and~$10$. Let $s(n)$ denote the number of different score vectors of size~$n$, that is, the number of sets of integers $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ such that \begin{gather*} s_{1} \leq s_{2} \leq \dots \leq s_{n} \leq n - 1, \Tag{(1)} \\ s_{1} + s_{2} + \dots + s_{r} \geq \binom{r}{2}, \quad\text{for $r = 1, 2, \dots, n - 1$,} \Tag{(2)} \\ \intertext{and} s_{1} + s_{2} + \dots + s_{n} = \binom{n}{2}. \Tag{(3)} \end{gather*} There seems to be no simple explicit formula for~$s(n)$. We now describe a recursive method for determining $s(n)$ due to Bent and Narayana (1964) \index[xauthor]{Bent, D. H.}% \index[xauthor]{Narayana, T. V.}% [see also Bent (1964)]. Let $[t, l]^{n}$ denote the number of sets of integers $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$ that satisfy \Eq{(1)},~\Eq{(2)}, and the conditions \[ s_{1} + s_{2} + \dots + s_{n} = l \Tag{(4)} \] and \[ s_{n} = t, \] where $l \geq \dbinom{n}{2}$. (If $l < \dbinom{n}{2}$, then we let $[t, l]^{n} = 0$.) Now \[ [t, l]^{1} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{if $t - l$,} \\ 0 & \text{otherwise,} \end{cases} \] and if $n \geq 2$, then \[ [t, l]^{n} = \sum_{h \leq t} [h, l - t]^{n-1}. \] The value of $s(n)$ is given by the formula \[ s(n) = \sum_{t} \left[t, \binom{n}{2}\right]^{n}. \Tag{(5)} \] \PageSep{67} \index[xauthor]{Narayana, T. V.}% It is convenient to enter the values of $[t, l]^{n}$ in a table and then use the recurrence relation to form the table of values of $[t, l]^{n+1}$. If we only want to determine $s(n)$ for $n \leq m$, then we need only determine $[t, l]^{n}$ when \[ \frac{n - 1}{2} \leq t \leq \frac{m + n - 2}{2} \Tag{(6)} \] and \[ \binom{n}{2} \leq l \leq \left\{ \begin{aligned} &n\bigl[\nf{1}{2}(m - 1)\bigr]\quad\text{if $n \leq \nf{1}{2}m$,} \\ &\nf{1}{2}m\bigl[\nf{1}{2}(m - 1)\bigr] + (n - \nf{1}{2} m)[\nf{1}{2} m] \quad\text{if $\nf{1}{2} m < m \leq m$.} \end{aligned} \right. \Tag{(7)} \] We may assume that $[t, l]^{n} = 0$ otherwise (see Exercise~1). The following tables illustrate the use of this method for determining $s(n)$ when $n \leq 6$. \begin{align*} &\begin{array}{c|*{4}{c}} \multicolumn{5}{c}{[t, l]^{1}} \\[6pt] \Tvars{t}{l} & 0 & 1 & 2 & \\ \hline \Strut 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 0 & \\ 2 & 0 & 0 & 1 & \end{array} & &\begin{array}{c|*{4}{c}} \multicolumn{5}{c}{[t, l]^{2}} \\[6pt] \Tvars{t}{l} & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ \hline \Strut 1 & 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 0 & 0 & 1 & 1 \end{array} & &\begin{array}{c|*{4}{c}} \multicolumn{5}{c}{[t, l]^{3}} \\[6pt] \Tvars{t}{l} & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 \\ \hline \Strut 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 2 & 1 & 2 & 1 & 1 \\ 3 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 2 \end{array} \\[12pt] &\begin{array}{c|*{4}{c}} \multicolumn{5}{c}{[t, l]^{4}} \\[6pt] \Tvars{t}{l} & 6 & 7 & 8 & 9 \\ \hline \Strut 2 & 2 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 3 & 2 & 3 & 3 & 3 \\ 4 & 0 & 2 & 3 & 3 \end{array} & &\begin{array}{c|*{3}{r}} \multicolumn{4}{c}{[t, l]^{5}} \\[6pt] \Tvars{t}{l} & 10 & 11 & 12 \\ \hline \Strut 2 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 4 & 4 & 3 \\ 4 & 4 & 6 & 7 \end{array} & &\begin{array}{c|*{4}{r}} \multicolumn{5}{c}{[t, l]^{6}} \\[6pt] \Tvars{t}{l} & 15 & & & \\ \hline \Strut 3 & 3 & & & \\ 4 & 10 & & & \\ 5 & 9 & & & \end{array} \end{align*} If we sum the entries in the sixth table, we find that $s(6) = 22$. Bent and \Typo{Naryana}{Narayana} determined the value of~$s(n)$ for $n = 1, 2, \dots, 36$, \index[xauthor]{Bent, D. H.}% with the aid of an electronic computer. (A slight refinement of the method illustrated in the preceding paragraph was used when $28 \leq n \leq 36$.) The values of~$s(n)$ for $n = 1, 2, \dots, 15$ are given in \Table{5}. They conjectured that for $n \geq 2$ the sequence $s(n + 1)/s(n)$~is monotone increasing with limit four. More recently, P.~Stein\footnote {Unpublished work.} \index[xauthor]{Stein, P.}% has determined the values of~$s(n)$ for $n = 1, 2, \dots, 51$ by a different method and his data gives additional support to this conjecture. \PageSep{68} \begin{table}[hbt!] \TCaption{Table 5. $s(n)$, the number of score vectors of size~$n$.} \[ \begin{array}{r|r} \multicolumn{1}{c}{n} & s(n) \\ \hline\Strut 1 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 4 \\ 5 & 9 \\ 6 & 22 \\ 7 & 59 \\ 8 & 167 \\ 9 & 490 \\ 10 & 1,486 \\ 11 & 4,639 \\ 12 & 14,805 \\ 13 & 48,107 \\ 14 & 158,808 \\ 15 & 531,469 \end{array} \] \end{table} The following bounds for~$s(n)$ are due to Erdös and Moser.\footnote {Unpublished work.} \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% \begin{Theorem}{33.} There exist constants $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ such that \[ \frac{c_{1} 4^{n}}{n^{5}} < s(n) < \frac{c_{1} 4^{n}}{n^{3/2}}. \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. In proving the lower bound we may suppose that $n$~is even, say $n = 2m$. Let $l_{i}$~denote the number of nodes that dominate the node~$p_{2m+i-1}$ with the $i$th~largest score $s_{2m+1-i}$ in any tournament~$T_{2m}$, that is, \[ l_{i} = (2m - 1) - s_{2m+1-i}. \Tag{(8)} \] We now consider sets of integers $s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n}$ and $l_{1}, l_{2}, \dots, l_{n}$, such that \begin{gather*} s_{1} + s_{2} + \dots + s_{m} = l_{1} + l_{2} + \dots + l_{m}, \Tag{(9)}\displaybreak[0] \\ s_{1} \leq s_{2} \leq \dots \leq s_{m} = m - 1, \Tag{(10)}\displaybreak[0] \\ s_{i} \geq i - 1,\quad i = 1, 2, \dots , m, \Tag{(11)}\displaybreak[0] \\ l_{1} \leq l_{2} \leq \dots \leq l_{m} = m - 1, \Tag{(12)}\displaybreak[0] \\ \intertext{and} l_{i} \geq i - 1,\quad i = 1, 2, \dots, m. \Tag{(13)} \end{gather*} Conditions \Eq{(8)} and \Eq{(9)} imply~\Eq{(3)} and conditions \Eq{(8)},~\Eq{(10)}, and~\Eq{(12)} imply~\Eq{(1)}. Furthermore, condition~\Eq{(11)} implies~\Eq{(2)} if $r \leq m$ and conditions \Eq{(8)},~\Eq{(11)},~\Eq{(13)}, and~\Eq{(1)} imply~\Eq{(2)} if $m < r \leq 2m - 1$, since \PageSep{69} \begin{align*} &\quad s_{1} + \dots + s_{m} + s_{m+1} + \dots + s_{2m-v} \\ &= s_{1} + \dots + s_{2m} - (s_{2m-v+1} + \dots + s_{2m}) \\ &= \binom{2m}{2} - (2m - 1 - l_{1}) - \dots - (2m - 1 - l_{v}) \\ &= \binom{2m}{2} - v(2m - 1) + (l_{1} + \dots + l_{v}) \\ &\geq \binom{2m}{2} - v(2m - 1) + \binom{v}{2} = \binom{2m - v}{2}. \end{align*} To obtain a lower bound for~$s(2m)$ we will estimate the number of solutions of the system \Eq{(9)}~to~\Eq{(13)}. There are $(m + 1)^{-1} \dbinom{2m}{m}$ sets of integers, satisfying each of the systems \Eq{(10)}~and~\Eq{(11)}, and \Eq{(12)}~and~\Eq{(13)} (see Exercise~3). Consequently, the total number of solutions of \Eq{(9)}~to~\Eq{(13)} will be \[ \sum_{i=1}^{m^{2}} u_{i}^{2}, \] where $u_{i}$~is the number of solutions of \Eq{(10)}~and \Eq{(11)} such that $s_{1} + s_{2} + \dots + s_{m} = i$. [It follows from~\Eq{(10)} that $i < m^{2}$.] But \[ \sum_{i=1}^{m^{2}} u_{i} = \frac{1}{m + 1} \binom{2m}{m}, \] so \begin{align*} s(2m) &\geq \left(\frac{1}{m^{2}(m + 1)^{2}} \binom{2m}{m}\right)^{2} m^{2} \\ &> \frac{c 4^{n}}{n^{5}} \end{align*} for some constant~$c$, by Jensen's inequality and Stirling's formula. To obtain an upper bound for~$s(n)$, we shall estimate the number of sets of nonnegative integers $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{n})$, satisfying only \Eq{(1)}~and~\Eq{(3)}. The transformation $a_{i} = s_{i} + \Typo{1}{i}$ induces a one-to-one correspondence between these sets and sets of integers $(a_{1}, a_{2}, \dots, a_{n})$ such that \[ 1 \leq a_{1} < a_{2} < \dots < a_{n} \leq 2n - 1 \Tag{(14)} \] and \[ a_{1} + a_{2} + \dots + a_{n} = n^{2}. \Tag{(15)} \] The number of solutions of~\Eq{(14)} is~$\dbinom{2n - 1}{n}$. We shall divide these solutions into classes of $2n - 1$ solutions each, in such a way that no two solutions in the same class have the same sum. Consequently, the number \PageSep{70} of solutions of both \Eq{(14)} and~\Eq{(15)} will not exceed $(2n - 1)^{-1} \dbinom{2n - 1}{n}$. The upper bound of the theorem then follows immediately. Place two solutions $(a_{1}, a_{2}, \dots, a_{n})$ and $(b_{1}, b_{2}, \dots, b_{n})$ in the same class if and only if the $a$'s~and~$b$'s, in some order, differ by only a constant modulo $2n - 1$. It is clear that each class will contain $2n - 1$ solutions. If $(a_{1}, a_{2}, \dots, a_{n})$ %[** TN: b_{1} upright in the original, presumed typo] and $(b_{1}, b_{2}, \dots, b_{n})$ are different solutions in the same class and the~$b$'s can be obtained from the~$a$'s by adding a positive integer~$r$ to each of the~$a$'s modulo $2n - 1$, then \[ a_{1} + a_{2} + \dots + a_{n} + rn \equiv b_{1} + b_{2} + \dots + b_{n} \pmod{2n - 1}. \] But, $rn \equiv \nf{1}{2} r \pmod{2n - 1}$ if $r$~is even and $rn \equiv \nf{1}{2} (r - 1) + n \pmod{2n - 1}$ if $r$~is odd; in either case $rn \not\equiv 0 \pmod{2n - 1}$ for $r = 1, 2, \dots, 2n - 2$, so $a_{1} + a_{2} + \dots + a_{n} \neq b_{1} + b_{2} + \dots + b_{n}$. This completes the proof of the theorem. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Prove the correctness of the sentence containing inequalities \Eq{(6)} and~\Eq{(7)}. \Ex{2.} Prove that \[ [t, l]^{n} = [t - 1, l - 1]^{n} + [t, l - t]^{n-1}, \quad\text{if $t \geq 2$ and $l > \dbinom{n}{2}$}. \] Use this relation to extend the tables in the text and show that $s(7) = 59$. \Ex{3.} If $u_{m}$ denotes the number of solutions of \Eq{(10)}~and~\Eq{(11)}, then show that \[ u_{m} = u_{0} u_{m-1} + u_{1} u_{m-2} + \dots + u_{m-1} u_{0}, \] where $u_{0} = u_{1} = 1$, so that if $U(x) = \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} u_{m} x^{m}$, then \[ xU^{2}(x) = U(x) - 1. \] Deduce from this that \[ U(x) = \frac{1 - \sqrt{1 - 4x}}{2x} = \sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \binom{2m}{m} \frac{x^{m}}{m + 1}. \] \Ex{4.} Show that of the $(m + 1)^{-1} \dbinom{2m}{m}$ solutions $(s_{1}, s_{2}, \dots, s_{m})$ of \Eq{(10)}~and \Eq{(11)} at least $\dfrac{c_{3}}{m} \dbinom{2m}{m}$ satisfy the inequality \[ \binom{m}{2} \leq s_{1} + s_{2} + \dots + s_{m} \leq \binom{m}{2} + m^{3/2}. \] Deduce from this that [Erdös and Moser]: \index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.}% \index[xauthor]{Moser, L.}% \[ s(n) > \frac{c_{4} 4^{n}}{n^{9/2}}. \] \PageSep{71} \Ex{5.} Whitworth (1878) and others have shown that there are $(m + 1)^{-1} \dbinom{2m}{m}$ \index[xauthor]{Whitworth, W.

Consequently, \[ P\{w_{i} > x\} \sim \frac{1}{(2\pi)^{1/2} x} e^{-(1/2) x^{2}}, \Tag{(1)} \] if $x^{3}/\sqrt{\nf{1}{4} (n - 1)}$ tends to zero as $n$~and $x$ \Typo{tends}{tend} to infinity. [See Feller (1957) \index[xauthor]{Feller, W.}% p.~158.] The following theorem and its proof are special cases of a somewhat more general result due to Huber (1963a). \index[xauthor]{Huber, P.}% \begin{Theorem}{34.} If $w$ denotes the largest reduced score in a random tournament~$T_{n}$, then the probability that \[ |w - \sqrt{2\log (n - 1)}| \leq \eps \sqrt{2\log (n - 1)} \] tends to one as $n$~tends to infinity for any positive~$\eps$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. If $0 < \eps < 1$, let \[ x_{n}^{±} = (1 ± \eps) \sqrt{2\log (n - 1)}; \] it follows from~\Eq{(1)} that \[ \Erratum{p}{P}\{w_{i} > x_{n}^{±}\} \sim \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi} (1 ± \eps) \sqrt{\log (n - 1)}} · (n - 1)^{-(1 ± \eps)^{2}}. \Tag{(2)} \] Let $c_{1}$ and $c_{2}$ be positive constants such that $c_{1} < 1/\sqrt{4\pi} (1 ± \eps) < c_{2}$; if the constant factor in~\Eq{(2)} is replaced by $c_{1}$~or~$c_{2}$, strict inequality will hold for all sufficiently large values of~$n$. Using Boole's inequality, $P \{\cup E_{i}\} \leq \sum P\{E_{i}\}$, we find that \[ P\{w > x_{n}^{+}\} < c_{2} (n - 1)^{-2\eps} \Tag{(3)} \] for all sufficiently large values of~$n$. \PageSep{72} \iffalse % [** Author's note: "B. Bollobás pointed out to me, in a letter dated % 12 June, 1980, that this paragraph is incorrect.

Observe that \begin{align*} P\{s_{1} < k_{1}, \dots, s_{n} < k_{n}\} &= \sum_{t l$ or $j = l$ and $k > m$. This completes the definition of the tournament~$T$. (If $T^{*}$~is the graph in \Figure{11}, then a portion of~$T$ is illustrated in \Figure{12}.) \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic[3in]{fig12} \FCaption{Figure 12} \end{figure} It is not difficult to verify, appealing to the definition of~$T$ and recalling the exceptional character of the nodes $x(i, j, 1)$, that the following formulas hold for the scores of the nodes of~$T$: \index{Score of a node}% \begin{align*} s(g) &= (1 + 2 + \dots + h)h + \nf{1}{2} (n - 2h - 1) \bigl[(1 + 2 + \dots + h) + 1\bigr] \\ &= \nf{1}{2} (n - 1) · \binom{h + 1}{2} + \nf{1}{2} (n - 2h - 1) \end{align*} for each node~$g$ associated with an element of~$G$; \[ s\bigl(x(i, j, k)\bigr) = s(g) + \binom{j}{2} + h + k, \quad\text{if $2 \leq k \leq j$,} \] and \[ s\bigl(x(i, j, 1)\bigr) = s\bigl(x(i, j, 2)\bigr), \quad\text{for all $i$ and~$j$.} \] The important fact here is that $s(x) > s(g)$ for every new node~$x$ and that \[ s\bigl(x(i, j, k)\bigr) = s\bigl(x(t, l, m)\bigr) \] if and only if $j = l$, and $k = m$ or $km = 2$. Since $s(p) = s\bigl(\alpha(p)\bigr)$ for any admissible automorphism~$\alpha$ of~$T$, it follows, in particular, that the identity of the sets of original nodes~$g$ and new nodes~$x$ is preserved by~$\alpha$. {\Loosen We now prove that the automorphism group of~$T$ is isomorphic to~$G$. Let $\alpha$~be any automorphism that leaves some node~$g_{i}$ fixed, that is, $\alpha(g_{i}) = g_{i}$. We first show that this implies that $\alpha$~leaves every node of~$T$ fixed.} \PageSep{77} Consider any node $x = x(i, j, k)$ where $k \geq 2$ that belongs to~$g_{i}$. At least one such node exists since $h \geq 2$. Recall that $x \to g_{i}$; hence $\alpha(x)$~could belong to a node~$g_{i}$ in~$\alpha(T)$ such that $g_{i} \to g_{l}$ only if \[ \alpha(x) = x(l, j, 1). \] If this happens, there exists a node~$y$ (take $y = x(l, 2, 2)$ if $j = 1$ or $y = x(l, j, 2)$ if $j \neq 1$) such that $g_{i} \to y$ and $y \to \alpha(x)$ in~$\alpha(T)$. But there exists no such corresponding path from $g_{i}$ to~$x$ in~$T$, so this possibility is excluded. If $\alpha(x)$~belongs to a node~$g_{l}$ in~$\alpha(T)$ such that $g_{l} \to g_{i}$, then $\alpha(x) \to g_{l}$ and $g_{l} \to g_{i}$. But there is no corresponding path of length two from $x$ to~$g_{i}$ in~$T$ whose intermediate node is one of the nodes~$g$. The only alternative is that $\alpha(x)$~belongs to $g_{i}$ itself. Since $s(x) = s\bigl(\alpha(x)\bigr)$, it follows that $\alpha(x) = x$ except, possibly, when $k = 2$ and $\alpha(x) = x(i, j, 1)$. This last alternative can be ruled out by considering the types of paths of length two from $x$ to~$g_{i}$. Now consider any remaining node \[ x = x(i, j, 1) \] that belongs to~$g_{i}$. It follows by the same argument as before that $\alpha(x)$~cannot belong to a node~$g_{i}$ in~$\alpha(T)$ such that $g_{i} \to g_{l}$. But if $\alpha(x)$~belongs to~$g_{l}$ where $g_{l} \to g_{i}$, then \[ \alpha(x) \to \alpha\bigl(x(i, h, 2)\bigr) = x(i, h, 2). \] This contradicts the fact that $\alpha$~preserves the orientation of the arc going from $x(i, h, 2)$ to~$x$. Hence, $\alpha(x)$~belongs to~$g_{i}$. The only conclusion compatible with these results and the condition that $s(x) = s\bigl(\alpha(x)\bigr)$ is that, if $\alpha(g_{i}) = g_{i}$, then $\alpha(x) = x$ for every node~$x$ that belongs to~$g_{i}$. Now consider any node $g = g_{i}g_{j}^{-1}$ ($1 \leq j \leq h$). Since $x(i, j, 1) \to g$ and $g \to g_{i}$, it must be that $x(i, j, 1) \to \alpha(g)$ and $\alpha(g) \to g_{i}$ because $x(i, j, 1)$ and~$g_{i}$ are fixed under~$\alpha$. But $g$~is the only node associated with an element of~$G$ that has this property. (This is where the exceptional property of $x(i, j, 1)$ is used.) Hence, $\alpha(g) = g$ for each such~$g$. The tournament~$T$ is strongly connected; this follows from the way $T$~is \index{Strong tournament}% constructed from~$T^{*}$ which itself is strongly connected (see Exercise~3). Hence, by repeating the above argument as often as is necessary we eventually conclude that, if $\alpha(g_{i}) = g_{i}$ for any node~$g_{i}$, then $\alpha(p) = p$ for every node~$p$ in~$T$. We have shown that, if $\alpha$~is not the identity element, then $\alpha(g) \neq g$ for every node~$g$ associated with an element of~$G$. It follows from this that, for any two such nodes $g_{u}$ and~$g_{v}$, there exists at most one automorphism~$\alpha$ of~$T$ such that $\alpha(g_{u}) = g_{v}$, (see Exercise~4). But, the group element $\alpha = g_{v}g_{u}^{-1}$ induces such an automorphism defined as follows: $\alpha(g) = \alpha g$ for all nodes~$g$ associated with an element of~$G$, and $\alpha\bigl(x(i, j, k)\bigr) = x(l, j, k)$ if $g_{l} = \alpha(g_{i})$, for all $i$,~$j$, and~$k$. It follows from these results that the group of the tournament~$T$ \PageSep{78} is abstractly isomorphic to the group~$G$.

The \emph{composition} of $R$ with~$T$ is the tournament $R \circ T$ obtained by replacing each node~$r_{i}$ of~$R$ by a copy~$T(i)$ of~$T$ so that, if $r_{i} \to r_{j}$ in~$R$, then every node of~$T(i)$ dominates every node of~$T(j)$ in~$R \circ T$. More precisely, there are $ab$~nodes $p(i, k)$ in~$R \circ T$ ($1 \leq i \leq a$, $1 \leq k \leq b$) and $p(i, k) \to p(j, l)$ if and only if $r_{i} \to r_{j}$, or $i = j$ and $t_{k} \to t_{l}$. The composition of two $3$-cycles is illustrated in \Figure{13}. Let $F$ and~$H$ denote two permutation groups with object sets $U$ and~$V$. The \emph{composition} [see Pólya (1937)] of $F$ with~$H$ is the group $F \circ H$ of all \index[xauthor]{Polya@Pólya, G.}% permutations~$\alpha$ of $U × V = \{(x, y) : x \in U, y \in V\}$ of the type \[ \alpha(x, y) = \bigl(f(x), h_{x}(y)\bigr), \] \PageSep{79} \begin{figure}[hbt!] \centering \Graphic[2.25in]{fig13} \FCaption{Figure 13} \end{figure} where $f$~is any element of~$F$ and $h_{x}$, for each~$x$, is any element of~$H$. If the objects of $U × V$ are arranged in a matrix so that the rows and columns correspond to the objects of $U$~and $V$, respectively, then $F \circ H$ is the group of permutations obtained by permuting the objects in each row according to some element of~$H$ (not necessarily the same element for every row) and then permuting the rows themselves according to some element of~$F$. If $F$~and~$H$ have order $m$~and~$n$ and degree $u$~and~$v$, then $F \circ H$ has order~$mn^{u}$ and degree~$uv$. We now prove that the group of the composition of two tournaments is equal to the composition of their groups. \begin{Theorem}{37.} $G(R \circ T) = G(R) \circ G(T)$. \end{Theorem} \Proof. The nodes $p(i, k)$ in each copy~$T(i)$ may be permuted according to any element of~$G(T)$ and the copies themselves may be permuted according to any element of~$G(R)$, so $G(R) \circ G(T)$ is certainly a subgroup of~$G(R \circ T)$. To prove the groups are the same, it will suffice to show that, if a permutation~$\alpha$ of~$G(R \circ T)$ takes any node of~$T(i)$ into a node of~$T(j)$, then $\alpha$~takes every node of~$T(i)$ into~$T(j)$. Suppose, on the contrary, that there exists a permutation~$\alpha$ of~$G(R \circ T)$ such that the nodes of~$\alpha\bigl(T(i)\bigr)$ do not all belong to~$T(j)$. Let $X$~denote the set of all nodes~$p(i, k)$ of~$T(i)$ such that $\alpha\bigl(p(i, k)\bigr)$ is in~$T(j)$, where $X$~and $T(i) - X$ are nonempty. There is no loss of generality (see Exercise~1) if we assume that $i \neq j$ and that every node of~$X$ dominates every node of~$\alpha(X)$ (symbolically, $X \to \alpha\bigl(X)$). If any node~$p$ in~$T(i) - X$ both dominates and is dominated by nodes of~$X$, then $\alpha(p)$~must be in~$T(j)$ (see Exercise~2), contrary to the definition of~$X$. Hence, one of the following alternatives holds with respect to~$T(i)$. (1a) There exists a node~$p$ in~$T(i) - X$ such that $p \to X$. (1b) Every node in~$X$ dominates every node in~$T(i) - X$. Similarly, one of the following alternatives holds with respect to~$T(j)$. (2a) There exists a node~$q$ in~$T(j) - \alpha(X)$ such that $q \to \alpha(X)$. (2b) Every node in~$\alpha(X)$ dominates every node in~$T(j) - \alpha(X)$. \PageSep{80} We first suppose that alternatives (1a) and (2a) hold. Since $p \to X$, it follows that $\alpha(p) \to \alpha(X)$. Since $\alpha(p)$~is not in~$T(j)$, it must be that $\alpha(p) \to T(j)$, appealing to the definition of~$R \circ T$; in particular, $\alpha(p) \to q$. Similarly, $\alpha^{-1}(q) \to X$ since $q \to \alpha(X)$, and $a^{-1}(q) \to T(i)$ since $\alpha^{-1}(q)$~is not in~$T(i)$; in particular, $a^{-1}(q) \to p$. Thus there exist two nodes, $\alpha^{-1}(q)$ and~$p$, such that $\alpha^{-1}(q) \to p$ and $\alpha(p) \to \alpha\bigl(\alpha^{-1}(q)\bigr) = q$. This contradicts the fact that $\alpha$~is dominance-preserving. We next suppose that alternatives (1a) and (2b) hold. The score of any \index{Score of a node}% node~$p(i, k)$ in~$R \circ T$ is given by the formula \[ s\bigl(p(i, k)\bigr) = s(t_{k}) + b · s(r_{i}), \] where $s(t_{k})$ and~$s(r_{i})$ denote the scores of $t_{k}$ and~$r_{i}$ in $T$~and~$R$. It follows that if $\alpha\bigl(p(i, k)\bigr) - p(j, l)$ then $s(t_{k}) = s(t_{l})$, since \[ s(t_{k}) + b · s(r_{i}) = s(t_{l}) + b · s(r_{j}) \] and $0 \leq s(t_{k}), s(t_{l}) < b$. Consequently, \[ \sum_{p(i, k) \in X} s(t_{k}) = \sum_{p(j, l) \in \alpha(X)} s(t_{l}). \] But if there are $m$~nodes in~$X$ and in~$\alpha(X)$, then \[ \sum_{p(i, k) \in X} s(t_{k}) \leq \binom{m}{2} + m(b - 1 - m), \] by (1a), and \[ \sum_{p(j, l) \in \alpha(X)} s(t_{l}) = \binom{m}{2} + m(b - m), \] by~(2b). Therefore, the two sums cannot be equal and we have again reached a contradiction. It remains to treat the cases when alternatives (1b) and (2a)~or (2b) hold. We shall omit the arguments for these cases, since they are similar to the arguments already used (see Exercise~3). It follows from these arguments that every permutation of~$G(R \circ T)$ preserves the identity of the various copies~$T(i)$. Since every permutation with this property belongs to $G(R) \circ G(T)$, the theorem is proved. Sabidussi (1961) and Hemminger (1966) have proved an analogous result \index[xauthor]{Hemminger, R. L.}% \index[xauthor]{Sabidussi, G.}% for ordinary graphs; there the problem is complicated by the fact that there are certain exceptional cases in which the result does not hold. \Exercises \Ex{1.} Why may we assume that $X \to \alpha(X)$ in the proof of \ThmRef{37}? \Ex{2.} Why may we assume that $\alpha(p)$~is in~$T(j)$ if $p$~both dominates and is dominated by nodes of~$X$? \Ex{3.} Supply the arguments omitted in the proof of \ThmRef{37}. \PageSep{81} \Ex{4.} Let $C_{1}$ denote a $3$-cycle and let $C_{k} = C_{1} \circ C_{k-1}$ for $k \geq 2$.

Their argument is \index[xauthor]{Moon, J. W.}% based on a simple result of group theory [see Burnside (1911, pp.\ 170~and \index[xauthor]{Burnside, W.}% 185)]. Let $G$~be a group of permutations that act on the elements of a finite set~$X$. Two elements $x$~and~$y$ are \emph{equivalent} (with respect to~$G$) if and only if there \index{Equivalent elements in a set}% exists a permutation~$\alpha$ in~$G$ such that $\alpha(x) = y$. Then $X$~can be partitioned into classes of equivalent elements. \begin{Theorem}{38.} If $x \in X$, let $E(x) = \{\alpha(x) : \alpha \in G\}$ and $F(x) = \{\gamma : \gamma \in G \text{ and } \gamma(x) = x\}$. Then \[ |G| = |E(x)| · |F(x)|. \] \end{Theorem} \PageSep{82} \Proof. If $x$ and $y$ are any two elements in the same equivalence class of~$X$ with respect to~$G$, let \[ g(x, y) = \big|\{\alpha : \alpha \in G \text{ and } \alpha(x) = y\}\big|. \] We shall show that \[ g(x, y) = g(y, y). \Tag{(1)} \] Suppose the equation $\alpha_{i}(x) = y$ holds if and only if $i = 1, 2, \dots, h$. Then $\beta_{i}(y) = y$, where $\beta_{i} = \alpha_{i}\alpha_{1}^{-1}$ for $i = 1, 2, \dots, h$; the $\beta_{i}$'s are clearly distinct. If $\beta(y) = y$; then $\beta\alpha_{1}(x) = y$; consequently, $\beta\alpha_{1} = \alpha_{i}$ for some~$i$ such that $1 \leq i \leq h$ and $\beta = \alpha_{i}\alpha_{1}^{-1}$. This completes the proof of~\Eq{(1)}. Since $g(x, y) = g(y, x)$, it follows from~\Eq{(1)} that \[ g(x, x) = g(y, y) \] for all elements~$y$ in $E = E(x)$. Therefore, \[ |G| = \sum_{y \in E} g(x, y) = \sum_{y \in E} g(y, y) = g(x, x) \sum_{y \in E} 1 = |F(x)| · |E(x)|, \] since each element of~$G$ is counted once and only once in the first sum. \begin{Theorem}{39.} The limit of~$g(n)^{1/n}$ as $n$~tends to infinity exists and lies between $\sqrt{3}$ and~$2.5$, inclusive. \end{Theorem} \Proof. We shall first prove by induction that \[ g(n) \leq \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n} \Tag{(2)} \] if $n \geq 4$. The exact values of~$g(n)$ in \Table{6} can be used to verify that this inequality holds when $4 \leq n \leq 9$. Consider any node~$p$ of an arbitrary tournament~$T_{n}$, where $n \geq 10$. Let $e$~denote the number of different nodes in the set \[ E = \{\alpha(p) : \alpha \in G(T_{n})\}. \] If $T_{e}$ and $T_{n-e}$ denote the subtournaments determined by the nodes that are \index{Subtournament}% in~$E$ and by the nodes that are not in~$E$, then it is clear that \[ g(T_{n}) \leq g(T_{e}) · g(T_{n-e}) \leq g(e) · g(n - e). \Tag{(3)} \] If $3 < e < n - 3$, then it follows from the induction hypothesis that \[ g(T_{n}) \leq \frac{(2.5)^{e}}{2e} · \frac{(2.5)^{n-e}}{2(n - e)} \leq \frac{n}{8(n - 4)} · \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n} < \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n}. \] If $e = 3$ or $n - 3$, then \[ g(T_{n}) \leq 3 · \frac{(2.5)^{n-3}}{2(n - 3)} < \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n}, \] \PageSep{83} and if $e = 1$, $2$, $n - 2$, or~$n - 1$, then \[ g(T_{n}) \leq 1 · \frac{2n}{5(n - 2)} · \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n} < \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n}. \] A different argument must be used when $e = n$. There are $\nf{1}{2} n(n - 1)$ arcs in the tournaments~$T_{n}$. Hence, if $e = n$ and the nodes of~$T_{n}$ are all similar to each other with respect to the group~$G(T_{n})$, it must be that each node has score $\nf{1}{2} (n - 1)$. This can happen only \index{Score of a node}% when $n$~is odd. Consider the subgroup~$F$ of automorphisms~$\alpha$ of~$G(T_{n})$ such that $\alpha(p) = p$. It follows from \ThmRef{38} that, if $e = n$, then \[ g(T_{n}) = n|F|. \] No element of~$F$ can transform one of the $\nf{1}{2} (n - 1)$ nodes that dominate~$p$ into one of the $\nf{1}{2}(n - 1)$ nodes dominated by~$p$, since $p$~is fixed. Hence, \[ |F| \leq \left(g\left(\frac{n - 1}{2}\right)\right)^{2}. \] Therefore, if $e = n$, then \[ g(T_{n}) \leq n\left(\frac{(2.5)^{(1/2)(n-1)}}{n - 1}\right)^{2} = \frac{4}{5} \left(\frac{n}{n - 1}\right)^{2} · \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n} < \frac{(2.5)^{n}}{2n}. \] (Notice that $\nf{1}{2} (n - 1) \geq 5$ if $n \geq 11$, so we are certainly entitled to apply the induction hypothesis to $g\bigl((n - 1)/2\bigr)$.) This completes the proof of inequality~\Eq{(2)}. An immediate consequence of~\Eq{(2)} is that \[ \limsup g(n)^{1/n} < 2.5. \Tag{(4)} \] If $T_{a} \circ T_{b}$ denotes the composition of $T_{a}$ with~$T_{b}$, then $g(T_{a} \circ T_{b}) = g(T_{a}) \bigl[g(T_{b})\bigr]^{a}$, \index{Composition!of two tournaments}% by \ThmRef{37}. Therefore, \[ g(ab) \geq g(a) g(b)^{a} \Tag{(5)} \] for all integers $a$ and~$b$. Since $g(3) = 3$, it follows by induction that \[ g(n) \geq \sqrt{3}^{n-1} \Tag{(6)} \] if $n$~is a power of three (see Exercise~27.4). Hence, \[ \limsup g(n)^{1/n} \geq \sqrt{3}. \Tag{(7)} \] {\Loosen We now use inequality~\Eq{(5)} to prove the following assertion: If $g(m)^{1/m} > \gamma$, then $g(n)^{1/n} > \gamma - \eps$ for any positive~$\eps$ and all sufficiently large~$n$.} We may suppose that $\gamma > 1$. Let $l$~be the least integer such that $\gamma^{-1/l} > 1 - \eps/\gamma$. Every sufficiently large integer~$n$ can be written in the form $n = km + t$, where $k > l$ and $0 \leq t < m$. Then, \PageSep{84} \begin{align*} g(n)^{1/n} &= g(km + t)^{1/km+t} \geq g(km)^{1/m(k+1)} \\ &\geq \bigl[g(m)^{1/m}\bigr]^{k/k+1} > \gamma^{k/k+1} \\ &> \gamma^{l/l+1} > \gamma^{1 - 1/l} \\ &> \gamma \left(1 - \dfrac{\eps}{\gamma}\right) = \gamma - \eps. \end{align*} Let $\beta = \limsup g(n)^{1/n}$. (We know that $\sqrt{3} \leq \beta \leq 2 \nf{1}{2}$.) For every positive~$\eps$ there exists an integer~$m$ such that \[ g(m)^{1/m} > \beta - \eps. \] But then, \[ g(n)^{1/n} > \beta - 2\eps \] for all sufficiently large~$n$. Hence, \[ \liminf g(n)^{1/n} > \beta - 2\eps \] for every positive~$\eps$. Therefore, \[ \liminf g(n)^{1/n} = \limsup g(n)^{1/n}. \Tag{(8)} \] \ThmRef{39} now follows from \Eq{(4)},~\Eq{(7)}, and~\Eq{(8)}.

D.}% \Section{29.}{The Number of Nonisomorphic Tournaments} Before determining the number of nonisomorphic tournaments~$T_{n}$, we derive a result due to Burnside (1911, p.~191) that is used in dealing with a \index[xauthor]{Burnside, W.}% \PageSep{85} general class of enumeration problems. A theory of enumeration has been developed by Pólya (1937) and de~Bruijn (1964); Harary (1964) has given a \index[xauthor]{Debruijn@de Bruijn, N. G.}% \index[xauthor]{Harary, F.}% \index[xauthor]{Polya@Pólya, G.}% summary of results on the enumeration of graphs. \begin{Theorem}{40.} Let $G$ denote a permutation group that acts on a finite set~$X$ and let $f(\alpha)$~denote the number of elements of~$X$ left fixed by the permutation~$\alpha$. Then the number~$m$ of equivalence classes of~$X$ with respect to~$G$ is given \index{Equivalent elements in a set}% by the formula \[ m = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{\alpha \in G} f(\alpha). \] \end{Theorem} \Proof. We showed in proving \ThmRef{38} that \[ \sum_{x \in E} g(x, x) = |G|, \] where the sum is over the elements in any equivalence class~$E$ of~$X$ and where $g(x, x)$~denotes the number of permutations of~$G$ that leave $x$ \Typo{fiixed}{fixed}. Therefore, \begin{align*} \sum_{\alpha \in G} f(\alpha) &= \sum_{x \in X} g(x, x) \\ &= \sum_{E} \left(\sum_{x \in E} g(x,x)\right) = \sum_{E} |G| \\ &= m|G|. \end{align*} This proves the theorem. Davis (1953) used \ThmRef{40} to enumerate various relations on a finite \index[xauthor]{Davis, R. L.}% set; later, in (1954), he dealt specifically with the problem of determining~$T(n)$, the number of nonisomorphic tournaments~$T_{n}$. We now derive his formula for~$T(n)$. Any permutation~$\pi$ that belongs to the symmetric group~$S_{n}$ can be expressed as a product of disjoint cycles. If the disjoint cycle representation of~$\pi$ contains $d_{k}$~cycles of length~$k$, for $k = 1, 2, \dots, n$, then $\pi$~is said to be of \index{Cycle type of a permutation}% (\emph{cycle}) \emph{type} $(d) = (d_{1}, d_{2}, \dots, d_{n})$. For example, the permutation \[ \pi = \left(\begin{array}{@{}*{7}{c}@{}} 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 6 & 7 \\ 1 & 2 & 4 & 3 & 6 & 7 & 5 \end{array}\right) = (1)(2)(34)(567) \] is of type $(2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0)$. Notice that \[ 1 · d_{1} + 2 · d_{2} + \dots + n · d_{n} = n. \] In the present context, we think of the permutations~$\pi$ as acting on the nodes of tournaments~$T_{n}$; these permutations~$\pi$ then, in effect, define permutations among the tournaments themselves. We must determine~$f(\pi)$, the number of tournaments~$T_{n}$ such that $\pi(T_{n}) = T_{n}$. (Recall that $T_{n} = T_{n}'$ if and only if the arc joining $p_{i}$~and~$p_{j}$ has the same orientation in both tournaments for all pairs of distinct values of $i$~and~$j$.) \PageSep{86} \begin{Lemma} If the permutation~$\pi$ is of type $(d_{1}, d_{2}, \dots, d_{n})$, then $f(\pi) = 0$ if $\pi$~has any cycles of even length; otherwise $f(\pi) = 2^{D}$, where \[ D = \frac{1}{2} \left\{ \sum_{k,l=1}^{n} d_{k}d_{l}(k, l) - \sum_{k=1}^{n} d_{k} \right\} \Tag{(1)} \] and $(k, l)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of $k$~and~$l$. \end{Lemma} \Proof. We shall give the proof only for the case when all the cycles of~$\pi$ have odd length (see Exercise~1). Let $T_{n}$~be any tournament such that $\pi(T_{n}) = T_{n}$. Then $T_{n}$~can be partitioned into subtournaments $T^{(1)}, T^{(2)}, \dots$ in such a way that two nodes $p_{i}$ and~$p_{j}$ belong to the same subtournament if and only \index{Subtournament}% if $i$~and~$j$ belong to the same cycle of~$\pi$. Among the subtournaments $T^{(1)}, T^{(2)}, \dots$, there are $d_{1}$~that contain a single node, $d_{3}$~that contain three nodes, and so forth. Let $p_{1}, p_{2}, \dots, p_{k}$ and $p_{k+1}, p_{k+2}, \dots, p_{k+l}$ denote the nodes of two of these subtournaments, $T^{(1)}$~and~$T^{(2)}$ say. We may suppose the permutation~$\pi$ contains the cycles $(1, 2, \dots, k)$ and $(k + 1, k + 2, \dots, k + l)$. If the $\nf{1}{2} (k - 1)$ arcs joining $p_{1}$ to~$p_{i}$ ($i = 2, 3, \dots, \nf{1}{2}(k + 1)$) are oriented arbitrarily, then the orientations of the remaining arcs of~$T^{(1)}$ are determined uniquely by the condition that $\pi(T_{n}) = T_{n}$. Furthermore, if the $(k, l)$ arcs joining $p_{1}$ to~$p_{k+i}$ ($i = 1, 2, \dots, (k, l)$) are oriented arbitrarily, then the orientations of the remaining arcs joining $T^{(1)}$~and~$T^{(2)}$ also are determined uniquely by the condition that $\pi(T_{n}) = T_{n}$. This argument can be repeated as often as necessary. Therefore, in constructing tournaments~$T_{n}$ such that $\pi(T_{n}) = T_{n}$, we are free to orient arbitrarily only \begin{multline*} \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{2} d_{k}(k - 1) + \sum_{k=1}^{n} \binom{d_{k}}{2} (k, k) + \sum_{k{\qquad}c>{\qquad}r} (d) & N & D \\ \hline\Strut d_{1} = 6 & 6! & 15 \\ \hline\Strut d_{1} = 3,\ d_{3} = 1 & 3 · 3! & 7 \\ \hline\Strut d_{1} = 1,\ d_{5} = 1 & 5 & 3 \\ \hline\Strut d_{3} = 2 & 2 · 3^{2} & 5 \end{array}\displaybreak[0] \\ T(6) = \frac{2^{15}}{6!} + \frac{2^{7}}{3 · 3!} + \frac{2^{3}}{5} + \frac{2^{5}}{2 · 3!} = 56. \end{gather*} The values of~$T(n)$ for $n = 1, 2, \dots, 12$ are given in \Table{7}; the first eight of these values were given by Davis (1954). \index[xauthor]{Davis, R.

The two largest terms in the formula for~$T(n)$ are \[ \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}}{n!}\quad\text{and}\quad \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2} - 2(n-2)}}{3 · (n - 3)!}; \] they arise from permutations of type $(n, 0, \dots, 0)$ and $(n - 3, 1, 0, \dots, 0)$. (See Exercise~3.) The number of terms in the formula is equal to the number of partitions of~$n$ into odd integers. Erdös (1942)\index[xauthor]{Erdös, P.} has shown that the total number of partitions of~$n$ is less than $2^{cn^{1/2}}$, where $c = \pi(\nf{2}{3})^{1/2} \log_{2} e$. Hence, \[ \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}}{n!} \leq T(n) \leq \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}}{n!} + 2^{cn^{1/2}} · \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2} - 2(n-2)}}{3 · (n - 3)!} = \frac{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}}{n!} \bigl(1 + o(1)\bigr). \] \Exercises \Ex{1.} Prove that $f(\pi) = 0$ if the permutation~$\pi$ has any even cycles. \Ex{2.} Prove the assertion involving expression~\Eq{(2)}. \Ex{3.} Prove the first assertion in the proof of \ThmRef{42}. \Ex{4.} Prove that \[ T(n) = \frac{\Erratum{2^{\ebinom{2}{n}}}{2^{\ebinom{n}{2}}}}{n!} + \frac{2^{(1/2)(n^{2} - 5n + 8)}}{3 · (n - 3)!} \bigl(1 + o(1)\bigr). \] \Ex{5.} Let $t(n)$ denote the number of nonisomorphic strong tournaments~$T_{n}$. \index{Isomorphic tournaments}% \index{Strong tournament}% Show that if \[ T(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} T(n)x^{n}\quad\text{and}\quad t(x) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} t(n)x^{n}, \] then $t(x) = T(x)/\bigl[1 + T(x)\bigr]$.

The fee is owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax returns. Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation." - You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm License.

If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark. Contact the Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below. 1.F. 1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment. 1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. 1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the problem. 1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. 1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. 1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact For additional contact information: Dr. Gregory B. Newby Chief Executive and Director gbnewby@pglaf.org Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. \end{PGtext} % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % % % % End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Topics on Tournaments, by John W.
