โฆ Synopsis
We prove lower and upper bounds on bisection width of transposition graphs. This class of graphs contains several frequently studied interconnection networks including star graphs and hypercubes. In particular, we prove that the bisection width of the complete transposition graph is of order O(n.n!) which solves the open problem (R) 3.356 of Leighton's book [IO] and determine an asymptotically exact value of bisection width of the star graph. The results have applications to VLSI layouts, cutwidth and crossing numbers of transposition graphs. We also study bandwidth of these graphs.

The transposition network T n of order n! is the Cayley graph of the symmetric group S n with generators the set of all transpositions in S n . Finding the bisection width of the transposition network is an open question posed by F. T. Leighton. We resolve this question for n even, by showing that t
