A tournament is an oriented complete graph. The problem of ranking tournaments was firstly investigated by P. Erd\H{o}s and J. W. Moon. By probabilistic methods, the existence of "unrankable" tournaments was proved. On the other hand, they…
Nearly-doubly-regular tournaments have played significant roles in extremal graph theory. In this note, we construct new cyclotomic nearly-doubly-regular tournaments and determine their spectrum by establishing a new connection between…
We describe the Coxeter permutahedra, recently studied by Ardila, Castillo, Eur and Postnikov, in terms of random Coxeter tournaments, which involve cooperative and solitaire games, as well as the usual competitive games in graph…
A tournament is an orientation of a graph. Each edge represents a match, directed towards the winner. The score sequence lists the number of wins by each team. Landau (1953) characterized score sequences of the complete graph. Moon (1963)…
A tournament $H$ is said to force quasirandomness if it has the property that a sequence $(T_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ of tournaments of increasing orders is quasirandom if and only if the homomorphism density of $H$ in $T_n$ tends to…
We give a complete characterization of tournaments H that have the Sidorenko property with respect to nearly regular tournaments, i.e., the homomorphism density of H among all nearly regular tournaments is minimized by a random tournament.…
On being told that a piece of work he thought was his discovery had duplicated an earlier mathematician's work, Larry Shepp once replied "Yes, but when {\em I} discovered it, it {\em stayed} discovered". In this spirit we give discussion…
A cycle C={v_1,v_2,....,v_1} in a tournament T is said to be even, if when walking along C, an even number of edges point in the wrong direction, that is, they are directed from v_{i+1} to v_i. In this short paper, we show that for every…
We write the master equation describing the Parrondo's games as a consistent discretization of the Fokker--Planck equation for an overdamped Brownian particle describing a ratchet. Our expressions, besides giving further insight on the…
A conjecture of Alon, Pach and Solymosi, which is equivalent to the celebrated Erd\H{o}s-Hajnal Conjecture, states that for every tournament $S$ there exists $\epsilon(S)>0$ such that if $T$ is an $n$-vertex tournament that does not…
We prove that every $n$-vertex tournament $G$ has an acyclic subgraph with chromatic number at least $n^{5/9-o(1)}$, while there exists an $n$-vertex tournament $G$ whose every acyclic subgraph has chromatic number at most $n^{3/4+o(1)}$.…
There exists an exact relationship between the quasi-exactly solvable problems of quantum mechanics and models of square and rectangular random complex matrices. This relationship enables one to reduce the problem of constructing…
Tournament ranking is a function that assigns each vertex of a tournament (i.e., a directed graph without loops, in which each pair of different vertexes is connected by exactly one arc) a number called the rank of the vertex. One of…
We give a new and short proof of a theorem on k-hypertournament losing scores due to Zhou et al. [G. Zhou, T. Yao, K. Zhang, On score sequences of k-tournaments, European J. Comb., 21, 8 (2000) 993-1000.]
We prove that for every fixed $k$, the number of occurrences of the transitive tournament $Tr_k$ of order $k$ in a tournament $T_n$ on $n$ vertices is asymptotically minimized when $T_n$ is random. In the opposite direction, we show that…
Akin to the Erd\H{o}s-Rademacher problem, Linial and Morgenstern made the following conjecture in tournaments: for any $d\in (0,1]$, among all $n$-vertex tournaments with $d\binom{n}{3}$ many 3-cycles, the number of 4-cycles is…
Let $T$ be a strongly connected tournament of order $n\ge 4$ whose diameter does not exceed $d\ge 3.$ Denote by $c_{\ell}(T)$ the number of circuits of length $\ell$ in $T.$ In our recent paper, we construct a strongly connected tournament…
A well-known theorem of Chung and Graham states that if $h\geq 4$ then a tournament $T$ is quasirandom if and only if $T$ contains each $h$-vertex tournament the "correct number" of times as a subtournament. In this paper we investigate the…
We consider special multiclass spectral, discrepancy, degree, and codegree properties of expanding graph sequences. As we can prove equivalences and implications between them and the definition of the generalized quasirandomness of…
We study some properties of graphs (or, rather, graph sequences) defined by demanding that the number of subgraphs of a given type, with vertices in subsets of given sizes, approximatively equals the number expected in a random graph. It…
