Properties of sets of nontransitive dice with few sides

Levi Angel and Matt Davis

Vol. 11 (2018), No. 4, 643–659
Abstract

We define and investigate several properties that sets of nontransitive dice might have. We prove several implications between these properties, which hold in general or for dice with few sides. We also investigate some algorithms for creating sets of 3-sided dice that realize certain tournaments.

Keywords
