Tournament (graph theory)

A tournament is a directed graph obtained by assigning a direction for each edge in an undirected complete graph. That is, it is a directed graph in which every pair of vertices is connected by a single directed edge....

Frequency partition

In graph theory, a discipline within mathematics, the frequency partition of a graph is a partition of its vertices grouped by their degree.For example, the degree sequence of the left-hand graph below is and its frequency partition is 6 = 3 + 2 + 1...
