A Decision Problem Involving Tournaments
A Classification of Antichains of Finite Tournaments
Tournaments that omit N5 are well-quasi-ordered.
 


This tournament was created by LINK, a software system designed to be a general-purpose, extendible computing environment in which discrete mathematical objects representing real world problems can be easily manipulated and visualized. LINK has been used to make several interesting conjectures related to quasi-orderings of tournaments. Each edge in the tournament shown in this image is colored according to the number of directed triangles in which it participates.
