Abstract

An n-tournament T with vertex set V is simple if there is no subset M of V such that 2≤ \vert M \vert ≤ n-1 and for every x∈ V∖ M, either M→ x or x → M. The simplicity index of an n-tournament T is the minimum number s(T) of arcs whose reversal yields a non-simple tournament. Müller and Pelant (1974) proved that s(T)≤(n-1)/(2), and that equality holds if and only if T is doubly regular. As doubly regular tournaments exist only if n≡ 3\pmod4, s(T)
