In this short paper we determine the maximum number of edges in r s for all s 1 and characterize all permutations K which achieve this maximum. This answers an open question of Adin and Roichman who studied the case s 0. We also consider another closely related permutation graph defined by Adin and Roichman and obtain asymptotically tight bounds on the maximum number of edges in it. 1 Introduction We begin with standard notation. Let w 2 Sn be a permutation and let w i denote the image of i where we consider w as a bijection from n 1 . n to itself. We express permutations as linear arrangements of n by listing images in order as w 1 . w n . For example 2 5 1 3 4 represents the permutation that maps 1 2 2 5 3 1 4 3 5 4. Note that in the context of list notation w-1 i denotes the position of i in the permutation when w is written in a list form and w-1 i w-1 j has the simple interpretation that in w the number i appears before the number j.
