cycle permutation graph; toughness; maximal chain
cycle permutation graph; toughness; maximal chain
Summary:
Motivated by the conjectures in [11], we introduce the maximal chains of a cycle permutation graph, and we use the properties of maximal chains to establish the upper bounds for the toughness of cycle permutation graphs. Our results confirm two conjectures in [11].
