Some Characterizations of Nilpotent Lie Algebras.
We use an algebraic method to classify the generalized permutation star-graphs, and we use the classification to determine the toughness of all generalized permutation star-graphs.
Let be a non-empty subset of positive integers. A partition of a positive integer into is a finite nondecreasing sequence of positive integers in with repetitions allowed such that . Here we apply Pólya’s enumeration theorem to find the number of partitions of into , and the number of distinct partitions of into . We also present recursive formulas for computing and .
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].
