Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The theory of round robin tournaments has been studied extensively in the literature, see as mentioned in this paper for an overview. But it has not been studied in the mathematical community yet, see, e.g.,

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the Jordan Canonical Form in the discussion of linear systems with constant coefficients has been avoided in the context of linear system with constant coefficients, and the authors propose an alternative approach to avoid it.
