    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycles_and_fixed_points

    G has 2 fixed points, 1 2-cycle and 3 4-cycles B has 4 fixed points and 6 2-cycles GB has 2 fixed points and 2 7-cycles P * (1,2,3,4) T = (4,1,3,2) T Permutation of four elements with 1 fixed point and 1 3-cycle. In mathematics, the cycles of a permutation π of a finite set S correspond bijectively to the orbits of the subgroup generated by π ...

    This is not sharp; the gap between the functions is everywhere at least 1. Among the exponential functions of the form α x, setting α = e 2/e = 2.0870652... results in a sharp upper bound; the slightly smaller choice α = 2 fails to produce an upper bound, since then α 3 = 8 < 3 2. In applied fields the word "tight" is often used with the ...

  4. Cyclic permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_permutation

    A cyclic permutation consisting of a single 8-cycle. There is not widespread consensus about the precise definition of a cyclic permutation. Some authors define a permutation σ of a set X to be cyclic if "successive application would take each object of the permuted set successively through the positions of all the other objects", [1] or, equivalently, if its representation in cycle notation ...

  8. Cycle graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_graph

    A directed cycle graph of length 8. A directed cycle graph is a directed version of a cycle graph, with all the edges being oriented in the same direction. In a directed graph, a set of edges which contains at least one edge (or arc) from each directed cycle is called a feedback arc set.

  9. Cycle graph (algebra) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycle_graph_(algebra)

    Notice the cycle {e, a, a 2, a 3} in the multiplication table, with a 4 = e. The inverse a −1 = a 3 is also a generator of this cycle: (a 3) 2 = a 2, (a 3) 3 = a, and (a 3) 4 = e. Similarly, any cycle in any group has at least two generators, and may be traversed in either direction.
