Non-isomorphic signatures on some generalised Petersen graph. (English) Zbl 1482.05141

Summary: In this paper we find the number of different signatures of \(P(3, 1)\), \(P(5, 1)\) and \(P(7, 1)\) up to switching isomorphism, where \(P(n, k)\) denotes the generalised Petersen graph, \(2k < n\). We also count the number of non-isomorphic signatures on \(P(2n + 1, 1)\) of size two for all \(n\geq 1\), and we conjecture that any signature of \(P(2n + 1, 1)\), up to switching, is of size at most \(n + 1\).
