An existence theorem for cyclic triplewhist tournaments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that a Z-cyclic triplewhist tournament TWh(v) exists whenever v =p] . . . . p~ where the primes p~ are -5(mod8) , p~>29. The method of construction uses the existence of a primitive root ~o of each such Pi (~61) such that ~o2+eo+ 1 are both squares (modpi).

متن کاملNo 17-player Triplewhist Tournament Has Nontrivial Automorphisms
The existence of triplewhist tournaments for v players has recently been solved for all values of v except v = 17. For v = 12 and v = 13 a complete enumeration has shown the nonexistence of TWh (v), while constructions of TWh (v) have been presented for v > 17. For several values of v existence has been shown by constructing a TWh (v) with a prescribed, usually cyclic, automorphism group. In th...
متن کاملClassification of whist tournaments with up to 12 players
A v-player whist tournament Wh(v) is a schedule of games, each involving two players opposing two others. Every round, the players are partitioned into games, with at most one player left over. Each player partners every other player exactly once and opposes every other player exactly twice during the tournament. Directed whist tournaments DWh(v), and triplewhist tournaments TWh(v), are Wh(v) w...

We show that Z-cyclic splittable triplewhist tournament designs exist for all primes of the form p = 8t + 1, t odd, except possibly p = 41.
متن کاملt-Pancyclic Arcs in Tournaments
Let $T$ be a non-trivial tournament. An arc is emph{$t$-pancyclic} in $T$, if it is contained in a cycle of length $ell$ for every $tleq ell leq |V(T)|$. Let $p^t(T)$ denote the number of $t$-pancyclic arcs in $T$ and $h^t(T)$ the maximum number of $t$-pancyclic arcs contained in the same Hamiltonian cycle of $T$. Moon ({em J. Combin. Inform. System Sci.}, {bf 19} (1994), 207-214) showed that $...
