Abstract

Let a,ba, b and nn be nonnegative integers (ba, b>0, n1)(b \geq a, \ b > 0, \ n \geq 1), Gn(a,b)\mathcal{G}_n(a,b) be a multigraph on nn vertices in which any pair of vertices is connected with at least aa and at most bb edges and \textbf{v =} (v1,v2,...,vn)(v_1, v_2, ..., v_n) be a vector containing nn nonnegative integers. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such orientation of the edges of Gn(a,b)\mathcal{G}_n(a,b), that the resulted out-degree vector equals to \textbf{v}. We describe a reconstruction algorithm. In worst case checking of \textbf{v} requires Θ(n)\Theta(n) time and the reconstruction algorithm works in O(bn3)O(bn^3) time. Theorems of H. G. Landau (1953) and J. W. Moon (1963) on the score sequences of tournaments are special cases b=a=1b = a = 1 resp. b=a1b = a \geq 1 of our result.
