    Scheduling
AI Thread Summary
Combinatorial methods can effectively create schedules for various tournament formats, including round robin, double round robin, single elimination, and double elimination. Round robin schedules ensure each contestant faces every other contestant once, while double round robin requires each matchup to occur twice. Single elimination eliminates participants after one loss, whereas double elimination allows for a second chance after one loss. The choice of tournament format significantly impacts the scheduling complexity and participant engagement. Utilizing combinatorial strategies can optimize match arrangements and enhance the overall tournament experience.

Hi!
Do you have any idea(s) on how to make a tournament scheduling by combinatorics?
or any kind of scheduling with the use of combinatorics?

What kind of tournament? A "round robin" tournament, where each contestant meets every other contestant once? A "double round robin" tournament, where each contestant meets every other contestant twice? A "single elimination tournament" where a contestant is out as soon as he/she loses? A "double elimination tournament" where a contestant is out as soon as he/she loses twice?
 

Thread 'Deductive proof in logic formal systems'

I was reading documentation about the soundness and completeness of logic formal systems. Consider the following $$\vdash_S \phi$$ where ##S## is the proof-system making part the formal system and ##\phi## is a wff (well formed formula) of the formal language. Note the blank on left of the turnstile symbol ##\vdash_S##, as far as I can tell it actually represents the empty set. So what does it mean ? I guess it actually means ##\phi## is a theorem of the formal system, i.e. there is a...
