Score sequences of bitournaments

Combinatorics 2024-12-17 v1

Abstract

The score of a vertex xx in an oriented graph is defined to be its outdegree, \emph{i.e.}, the number of arcs with initial vertex xx. The score sequence of an oriented graph is the sequence of all scores arranged in nondecreasing order. An oriented complete bipartite graph is called a bitournament. The score sequence of a bitournament consists of two nondecreasing sequences of nonnegative integers, one for each of the two partite sets. Moon has characterized the score sequences of bitournaments. This paper introduces the concept of trimming a sequence and gives a characterization of score sequences of bitournaments utilizing this concept.
