β¦ Synopsis
A nonnegative matrix T = (t~)~= t is a generalized transitive tournament matrix (GTT matrix) ift, = 0, t~ = 1 -tjl for i ~j, and 1 ~< t~ i + t~. + tk~ ~< 2 for i,j,k pairwise distinct. An approach to the problem of characterize the set of vertices of the polytope {GTT }, of all GTT matrices of order n was the introduction by Brualdi and Hwang of the *-graph associated to each T ~ {GTT },. We introduce a new graph which generalize the *-graph. The new graph will be employed to develop a computable criterion for determine whethei any given GTT matrix of order n is or is not a vertex of {GTT},. A consequence of the criterion is that if T is a vertex of {GTT},. with small number, r, of different entries then we have strong restrictions for the possible entries of T. Namely, if r ~< 6 then the set of entries of T is equal to {0, !}, {0,], 1}, t 2 {0,~,

This paper uses matched employer-employee data to study the structure of managerial compensation. The evidence supports key predictions from tournament theory. First, the managerial pay differential between organizational levels is non-decreasing as one goes up the corporate ladder. This result is r
## Abstract Yao et al. (Discrete Appl Math 99 (2000), 245β249) proved that every strong tournament contains a vertex __u__ such that every outβarc of __u__ is pancyclic and conjectured that every __k__βstrong tournament contains __k__ such vertices. At present, it is known that this conjecture is t
