Abstract

1. Introduction . For integers n and k with 2 ≤ 2k < n , the generalized Petersen graph G(n, k) has been defined in (8) to have vertex-set and edge-set E(G(n, k)) to consist of all edges of the form where i is an integer. All subscripts in this paper are to be read modulo n , where the particular value of n will be clear from the context. Thus G(n, k) is always a trivalent graph of order 2 n , and G (5, 2) is the well known Petersen graph. (The subclass of these graphs with n and k relatively prime was first considered by Coxeter ((2), p. 417ff.).)
