Restricted permutations and queue jumping

Stackable and queueable permutations

There is a natural bijection between permutations obtainable using a stack (those avoiding the pattern 312) and permutations obtainable using a queue (those avoiding 321). This bijection is equivalent to one described by Simion and Schmidt in 1985. We argue that this bijection might well have been found back in 1968 by readers of volume 1 of Knuth's *The Art of Computer Programming*, if Knuth had not assigned difficulty ratings to his exercises.

Sorting by shuffling methods and a queue

We study sorting by queues that can rearrange their content by applying permutations from a predefined set. These new sorting devices are called shuffle queues and we investigate those of them corresponding to sets of permutations defining some well-known shuffling methods. If $\mathbb{Q}_Σ$ is the shuffle queue corresponding to the shuffling method $Σ$, then we find a number of surprising results related to two natural variations of shuffle queues denoted by $\mathbb{Q}_Σ^{\prime}$ and $\mathbb{Q}_Σ^{\textsf{pop}}$. These require the entire content of the device to be unloaded after a permuta…

使用队列式和栈式堆的堆洗牌对排列进行排序

Sorting permutations with pile shuffle on queue-like and stack-like piles

本文形式化了堆洗牌的三种变体（队列式、栈式及混合类型），刻画了多轮洗牌的可排序排列并给出最少堆数的高效排序公式，证明了多轮洗牌能力呈指数级增长，并指出发牌者选择使可行性判定成为 NP-Hard 问题。

Pattern classes and priority queues

When a set of permutations comprising a pattern class C is submitted as input to a priority queue the resulting output is again a pattern class C'. The basis of C' is determined for pattern classes C whose basis elements have length 3, and is finite in these cases. An example is given of a class C with basis 2431 for which C is not finitely based.
