Eplett's theorem for self-converse generalised tournaments

Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

The converse of a tournament is obtained by reversing all arcs. If a tournament is isomorphic to its converse, it is called self--converse. Eplett provided a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of integers to be realisable as the score sequence of a self--converse tournament. In this paper we extend this result to generalised tournaments.
