## Abstract Let Ξ± denote a permutation of the __n__ vertices of a connected graph __G__. Define Ξ΄~Ξ±~(__G__) to be the number $\sum |d(x,y)-d(\alpha (x),\alpha(y))|$, where the sum is over all the $\left({n \atop 2} \right)$ unordered pairs of distinct vertices of __G__. The number Ξ΄~Ξ±~(__G__) is ca

β¦ Synopsis
Let , be a permutation of the set [1, 2, 3, ..., N]. We call the sum $ , = ||i& j | &|,(i)&,( j)| | the total relative displacement (where the sum is over all i, j such that 1 i< j N). Chartrand, Gavlas, and VanderJagt conjectured that among permutations of [1, ..., N] the smallest positive value of $ , is 2N&4. We prove this result and develop a general theory for small values of $ , for permutations and, more generally, for functions S Γ Z with finite domain S/Z.
