McGill University - School of Computer Science

Computational Geometry Seminar

Everybody is welcome.

DATE: Wednesday, September 16th, 1998
TIME: 16:00-17:00   <- note new time
PLACE: McConnell 320
TITLE: Permutations and generalised stacks
SPEAKER: Mike Atkinson, University of St Andrews

Stacks have the capability to permute data by a series of push and pop operations. It has been known for many years which permutations can be generated and which can be sorted, and how to characterize them. We shall review early work in the field, summarize some more recent work on generalizations of a simple stack, and finally give some new results.
