  2. Superpermutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation

    Each edge has a weight associated with it; the weight is calculated by seeing how many characters can be added to the end of one permutation (dropping the same number of characters from the start) to result in the other permutation. [2] For instance, the edge from 123 to 312 has weight 2 because 123 + 12 = 12312 = 312.

  4. 100 prisoners problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_prisoners_problem

    The prisoner repeats steps 2 and 3 until they find their own number, or fail because the number is not found in the first fifty opened drawers. If the prisoner could continue indefinitely this way, they would inevitably loop back to the drawer they started with, forming a permutation cycle (see below). By starting with their own number, the ...

    Index k = 2, because 3 is placed at an index that satisfies condition of being the largest index that is still less than a[k + 1] which is 4. Index l = 3, because 4 is the only value in the sequence that is greater than 3 in order to satisfy the condition a[k] < a[l]. The values of a[2] and a[3] are swapped to form the new sequence [1, 2, 4, 3].

  6. Change-making problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change-making_problem

    The following is a dynamic programming implementation (with Python 3) which uses a matrix to keep track of the optimal solutions to sub-problems, and returns the minimum number of coins, or "Infinity" if there is no way to make change with the coins given. A second matrix may be used to obtain the set of coins for the optimal solution.

    Combinations and permutations in the mathematical sense are described in several articles. Described together, in-depth: Twelvefold way; Explained separately in a more accessible way: Combination; Permutation; For meanings outside of mathematics, please see both words’ disambiguation pages: Combination (disambiguation) Permutation ...

  8. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    In a 1977 review of permutation-generating algorithms, Robert Sedgewick concluded that it was at that time the most effective algorithm for generating permutations by computer. [2] The sequence of permutations of n objects generated by Heap's algorithm is the beginning of the sequence of permutations of n+1 objects.

  9. Rearrangement inequality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rearrangement_inequality

    Imagine there is a heap of $10 bills, a heap of $20 bills and one more heap of $100 bills. You are allowed to take 7 bills from a heap of your choice and then the heap disappears. In the second round you are allowed to take 5 bills from another heap and the heap disappears. In the last round you may take 3 bills from the last heap.
