Extract

The number of self-complementary graphs and the number of self-complementary digraphs were expressed by Read [4] in terms of cycle indexes of the appropriate pair groups. These formulas for and , together with a modification of the method employed by Oberschelp [3] for graphs, can be used to obtain estimates for and and a bound on the error. For graph theoretic definitions not given here, we refer to the book [2].
