Discrete Mathematics 2012-07-27 v1

Abstract

An open problem posed by the first author is the complexity to decide whether a sequence of nonnegative integer numbers can be the final score of a football tournament. In this paper we propose polynomial time approximate and exponential time exact algorithms which solve the problem.
