cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A Ramsey-like number but defined for tournaments (i.e., directed graphs in which each node-pair is joined by exactly one arc) rather than undirected graphs.
It is not hard to show that a(n) always exists and a(n) is nondecreasing.
The lower bounds a(4)>=8 and a(5)>=14 and a(6)>=28 arise from the cyclic tournaments with offsets 1,2,4 mod 7; the same is true of offsets 1,3,9,2,6,5 mod 13 and the "QRgraph" in GF(3^3) with 27 vertices.
The following lower bounds a(n)>=P+1 arise from QRgraph(P) where P is prime and P=3 (mod 4): a(8)>=48, a(9)>=84, a(10)>=108, a(12)>=200, a(13)>=272.
This is almost certainly different from the other sequences currently in the OEIS which begin 1,2,4,8,14,28.

A tournament is a directed digraph obtained by assigning a direction for each edge in an undirected complete graph. In a transitive tournament all nodes can be strictly ordered by their reachability.

Formula

T(n, k) = binomial(n, k)*k!*2^(binomial(n, 2) - binomial(k, 2)).
T(n, 0) = A006125(n).
T(n, 1) = A095340(n).
T(n, 2) = A103904(n).
T(n, n) = n!.
T(n, n-1) = A002866(n-1).
T(n, n-2) = A052670(n).
T(n, k) = A008279(n, k) * A117260(n, k). - Peter Luschny, Dec 31 2024
