The Cayley network of expanded Pancake graphs

Signed permutation group has important applications in genome rearrangement as well as the construction of networks. In this paper, we propose a new interconnection network named extended Pancake graph, we investigate its topological properties, and give a routing algorithm with the diameter upper bounded by 2n?1. Some embedding properties are also derived. In conclusion, we present a comparison of some familiar networks with the Cayley graph EP _n .
