For a permutation in the symmetric group
, the
-permutation graph of a labeled
graph
is the graph union of two disjoint copies of
(say,
and
), together with the lines joining point
of
with
of
(Harary 1994, p. 175).
Skiena (1990, p. 28) defines a permutation graph as a graph whose edges
correspond exactly to
being a permutation
inversion is some permutation
, i.e.,
but
occurs before
in
. The above graph corresponds to the permutation
, which has permutation
inversion
.
Permutation graphs are implemented as PermutationGraph[p]
in the Wolfram Language package Combinatorica`
