Abstract
In this paper, we first present a polynomial algorithm which computes a random tournament with given out-degrees; any tournament having these out-degrees has a nonzero probability to be computed. Then we give a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence of numbers to be the out-degrees (or similarly the in-degrees) of an asymmetric graph. Lastly, using the above algorithm and this characterization, we design a second polynomial algorithm to compute a random asymmetric graph with given out-degrees, and any asymmetric graph with these out-degrees has a nonzero probability to be found.
