Abstract
Let \(D_{n,k}\) be the set of all permutations of the symmetric group \(S_n\) that have no cycles of length i for all \(1 \le i \le k\). In the paper mentioned above, Ku, Lau, and Wong prove that the set of all the largest independent sets of the Cayley graph \(\text {Cay}(S_n,D_{n,k})\) is equal to the set of all the largest independent sets in the derangement graph \(\text {Cay}(S_n,D_{n,1})\), provided n is sufficiently large in terms of k. We give a simpler proof that holds for all n, k and also applies to the alternating group.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Algebraic Combinatorics provides a single forum for papers on algebraic combinatorics which, at present, are distributed throughout a number of journals. Within the last decade or so, algebraic combinatorics has evolved into a mature, established and identifiable area of mathematics. Research contributions in the field are increasingly seen to have substantial links with other areas of mathematics.
The journal publishes papers in which combinatorics and algebra interact in a significant and interesting fashion. This interaction might occur through the study of combinatorial structures using algebraic methods, or the application of combinatorial methods to algebraic problems.
