On the maximum number of Hamiltonian paths in tournaments

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the maximum number of directed Hamiltonian paths in a tournament on n vertices is at mostc · n3/2· n!/2n−1, wherec is a positive constant independent of n.
Abstract
Solving an old conjecture of Szele we show that the maximum number of directed Hamiltonian paths in a tournament onn vertices is at mostc · n3/2· n!/2n−1, wherec is a positive constant independent ofn.

An updated survey on the linear ordering problem for weighted or unweighted tournaments

TL;DR: It is shown how the linear ordering problem can be used to model an aggregation problem consisting of going from individual preferences defined on a set of candidates to a collective ranking of these candidates.

Probabilistic Methods in Combinatorics

TL;DR: In this paper, Erdős [8] showed that the probabilistic method must exist for a graph G(n,.5) to be a random graph, and that a graph satisfying ∧( √ B_s) ≠ ∅ must exist.

Ten lectures on the probabilistic method

Joel Spencer
TL;DR: The Janson Inequalities as discussed by the authors allow accurate approximation of extremely small probabilities, and have been shown to be useful for the probabilistic method in many problems. But they do not cover the complexity of the Janson inequalities.
