Source abstract

The cubic pancake graphs are Cayley graphs over the symmetric group Sn generated by three prefix reversals. There is the folllowing open problem: characterize all the sets of three prefix reversals that generate Sn. Blanco and Golubyatnikov give a complete solution of the problem when any of the two smallest or the two largest lengths but n are included in a triple of prefix reversals. According to their conjectures, we give some conditions implying a triple of prefix reversals does not generate Sn. Moreover, Using the symmetric groups that can already be generated by three prefix reversals, we can derive some recurrence conditions.
