Calling Sequence

GeneralizedPetersenGraph(n, k)

Parameters

n

-

positive integer >=3

k

-

positive integer

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).
