Ringing the cosets. II

  • Arthur T. White (a1)
Abstract

Hamiltonian circuits with associated word an n-cycle, in Schreier right coset graphs for symmetric groups Sn mod cyclic groups Zn, correspond to change ringing principles on n bells for which the plain course is the extent; that is, neither bobs nor singles are required. This connection is made explicit for the general case, and then specialized to the cases n = 4 (minimus) and n= 5 (doubles). In particular, all 102 no-call doubles principles on three generators are found and catalogued.
