on the Problem of Sorting Burnt Pancakes
The “pancake problem” is a well-known open combinatorial problem that recently has been shown to have applications to parallel processing. Given a stack of n pancakes in arbitrary order, all of different sizes, the goal is to sort them into the size-ordered configuration having the largest pancake on the bottom and the smallest on top. The allowed sorting operation is a “spatula flip”, in which...
متن کاملGreedy flipping of pancakes and burnt pancakes
We prove that a stack of n pancakes is rearranged in all n! ways by repeatedly applying the following rule: Flip the maximum number of pancakes that gives a new stack. This complements the previously known pancake flipping Gray code (S. Zaks, A New Algorithm for Generation of Permutations BIT 24 (1984), 196–204) which we also describe as a greedy algorithm: Flip the minimum number of pancakes t...
متن کاملSuccessor rules for flipping pancakes and burnt pancakes
A stack of n pancakes can be rearranged in all n! ways by a sequence of n!−1 flips, and a stack of n ‘burnt’ pancakes can be rearranged in all 2nn! ways by a sequence of 2nn!−1 flips. In both cases, a computer program can efficiently generate suitable solutions. We approach these tasks instead from a human perspective. How can we determine the next flip directly from the current stack? How can ...
متن کاملPolynomial-time sortable stacks of burnt pancakes
Pancake flipping, a famous open problem in computer science, can be formalised as the problem of sorting a permutation of positive integers using as few prefix reversals as possible. In that context, a prefix reversal of length k reverses the order of the first k elements of the permutation. The burnt variant of pancake flipping involves permutations of signed integers, and reversals in that ca...
متن کاملthe problem of divine hiddenness
این رساله به مساله احتجاب الهی و مشکلات برهان مبتنی بر این مساله میپردازد. مساله احتجاب الهی مساله ای به قدمت ادیان است که به طور خاصی در مورد ادیان ابراهیمی اهمیت پیدا میکند. در ادیان ابراهیمی با توجه به تعالی خداوند و در عین حال خالقیت و حضور او و سخن گفتن و ارتباط شهودی او با بعضی از انسانهای ساکن زمین مساله ای پدید میاید با پرسشهایی از قبیل اینکه چرا ارتباط مستقیم ویا حداقل ارتباط وافی به ب...
