Hi there! A Derangement is a completely disorded permutation:
{2 3 4 1}, {4 3 1 2} , etc see http://theory.cs.uvic.ca/inf/perm/Derangements.html My question is: What is minimun number of swaps to change a derangement to be sorted? My guess about an algorithm is just sort in sequencial order: 4 3 1 2 - sort 1 1 3 4 2 - sort 2 1 2 4 3 - sort 3 1 2 3 4 = 3 swaps but I can prove it, someone have ideas? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
