Letting $\bar{G}$ be the complement graph of $G$.
I know that if $G$ is self-complementary then $n=4k$ or $n=4k+1$ is true. However, I am having trouble proving the other way around. I have tried to use a proof by induction but at some point in the proof it became too complicated to complete.
We know that self-complementary means that graph $G$ and $\bar{G}$ are both isomorphic and complement of each others.
It is easy to prove that they are complement of each other, but I am finding difficulty proving that they are isomorphic.
This idea maybe work: Consider it in four groups with same vertecis, and try to make the $\bar{G}$ in this way.
