Cycle Complement Graph


CycleComplementGraph

The n-cycle complement graph C^__n is the graph complement of the cycle graph C_n. Cycle complement graphs are special cases of circulant graphs given by Ci_n(1,2,...,|_n/2_|). The first few are illustrated above in embeddings obtained by removing a cycle from the complete graph K_n (top) and in "standard" circulant graph form (bottom).

The wheel complement graph W^__(n+1) is isomorphic to the graph disjoint union C^__n union K_1 of the cycle complement graph C^__n and singleton graph.

Special cases are summarized in the table below.
