The -cycle
complement graph
is the graph complement of the cycle
graph
.
Cycle complement graphs are special cases of circulant
graphs given by
. The first few are illustrated above in
embeddings obtained by removing a cycle from the complete
graph
(top) and in "standard" circulant graph form (bottom).
The wheel complement graph is isomorphic to the graph disjoint union
of the cycle complement graph
and singleton graph.
Special cases are summarized in the table below.
