The edge-isoperimetric inequality for powers of cycles

Combinatorics 2026-01-13 v1

Abstract

This note provides a complete solution to a certain version of the edge-isoperimetric problem for powers of a cycle graph. Namely, it shows that the maximum number of edges inside a vertex subset of CnsC_n^s of size kk is achieved by a set of kk consecutive vertices.
