Abstract
Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G), f a permutation of V(G). Define δf(G)=∣d(x,y)−d(f(x),f(y))∣ and δf(G)=Σδf(x,y), where the sum is taken over all unordered pair x, y of distinct vertices of G. δf(x,U)=Σδf(x,y), where U⊆V(G) and y∈U. Let π(G) denote the smallest positive value of δf(G) among all permutations of V(G). A permutation f with δf(G)=π(G) is called a near automorphisms of G\cite{HV}. In this paper, we define G(n,m) is a graph obtained from Kn by add ti pendent vertices to yi which is a vertex of Kn, i=1,⋯,m, and we say yi is a c-pendent vertex of G(n,m). We determine π(G(n,m)) and describe permutations f of G(n,m) for which π(G(n,m))=δf(G(n,m)). Because G(1,1) is a star and it is easy, hence we let n≥2. Suppose G(n,m) has m c-pendent vertices {y1,…,ym} and yi has ti pendent vertices(1≤t1≤t2≤…≤tm). For m<n we have π(G(n,m))={2n−42t1n≤t1+2,m=1otherwise For m=n we have π(G(n,n))={42t1+2t2t1=1,t2=2otherwise
