problem

A tournament is a directed graph for which every (unordered) pair of vertices has a single directed edge from one vertex to the other. Let us define a proper directed-edge-coloring to be an assignment of a color to every (directed) edge, so that for every pair of directed edges uv\overrightarrow{uv} and vw\overrightarrow{vw}, those two edges are in different colors. Note that it is permissible for uv\overrightarrow{uv} and uw\overrightarrow{uw} to be the same color. The directed-edge-chromatic-number of a tournament is defined to be the minimum total number of colors that can be used in order to create a proper directed-edge-coloring. For each nn, determine the minimum directed-edge-chromatic-number over all tournaments on nn vertices.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A tournament is a directed graph for which every (unordered) pair of vertices has a single directed edge from one vertex to the other.  Let us define a proper directed-edge-coloring to be an assignment of a color to every (directed) edge, so that for every pair of directed edges (uv)→ and (vw)→, those two edges are in different colors.  Note that it is permissible for (uv)→ and (uw)→ to be the same color.  The directed-edge-chromatic-number of a tournament is defined to be the minimum total number of colors that can be used in order to create a proper directed-edge-coloring.  For each n, determine the minimum directed-edge-chromatic-number over all tournaments on n vertices.
Original LaTeX notation
A tournament is a directed graph for which every (unordered) pair of vertices has a single directed edge from one vertex to the other.  Let us define a proper directed-edge-coloring to be an assignment of a color to every (directed) edge, so that for every pair of directed edges $\overrightarrow{uv}$ and $\overrightarrow{vw}$, those two edges are in different colors.  Note that it is permissible for $\overrightarrow{uv}$ and $\overrightarrow{uw}$ to be the same color.  The directed-edge-chromatic-number of a tournament is defined to be the minimum total number of colors that can be used in order to create a proper directed-edge-coloring.  For each $n$, determine the minimum directed-edge-chromatic-number over all tournaments on $n$ vertices.
