Automorphism groups of the Pancake graphs. (English) Zbl 1239.05137

Summary: It is well known that the Pancake graph is widely used as models for interconnection networks. In this paper we prove that the automorphism group of the Pancake graph \(P_n, n\geqslant 5\), is the left regular representation of the symmetric group \(S_n\).
