Description
|
|
•
|
The GeneralizedPetersenGraph(n,k) command returns the generalized Petersen graph with the given parameters.
|
•
|
If n and k are relatively prime, the graph consists of two cycles of length n with a perfect matching between their vertices. The i'th vertex of the first cycle is connected to the ki'th vertex on the second cycle.
|
•
|
If n and k are not relatively prime, the graph consists of one cycle of length n perfectly matched to another set of n vertices forming gcd(k,n) cycles of length n/gcd(k,n).
