An asymptotic formula for $\exp(\frac{x}{1-x})$

Junho Song, Changwoo Lee

Abstract

We show that $G(x)=e^{x/(1-x)}-1$ is the exponential generating function for the labeled digraphs whose weak components are transitive tournaments and derive both a recursive formula and an explicit formula for the number of them on $n$ vertices. Moreover, we investigate the asymptotic behavior for the coefficients of $G(x)$ using Hayman's method.

Keywords: transitive tournament, exponential generating function, recursive formula, asymptotics, admissible, Hayman's method
