Self-complementary hypergraphs and their self-complementing permutations

In the present paper, for every k, (1⩽k⩽n), we give a characterization of self-complementig permutations of k-uniform self-complementary hypergraphs of the order n. This characterization implies the well known results for self-complementing permutations of graphs, given independently in the years 1962 - 1963 by Sachs and Ringel, and those obtained for 3-uniform hypergraphs by Kocay, for 4-uniform hypergraphs by Szymański, and for general (not uniform) hypergraphs by Zwonek.
