      The authors show that the edges of a self-complementary graph and its complement can be oriented in such a way that they remain isomorphic as digraphs and their union is a transitive tournament. From this and a result of Lovász they deduce that if \(G\) is a vertex-transitive self-complementary graph, then the maximum Sperner capacity over all orientations of \(G\) equals the Shannon capacity of \(G\).
