The -arrangement
graph
is defined as the graph on the vertex
set consisting of the permutations of
containing exactly
elements, where
and
are integers with
, and 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",

Special cases of
