The -arrangement graph
is defined as the graph on the vertex set consisting of the permutations of
containing at most
elements where vertices are connected by edges whenever two permutations differ in exactly one of their
positions. The
-arrangement graph has
nodes, is regular of vertex degree
,
-connected, has graph diameter
, and is vertex- and edge-transitive (Day and Tripathi 1992).
The arrangement graph is the line graph of the
-crown graph.
Precomputed properties of arrangement graphs are available in the Wolfram Language as GraphData["ArrangementGraph",
n, k
].
Special cases of are summarized in the following table and illustrated above.
