A LOOPLESS IMPLEMENTATION OF A GRAY CODE FOR SIGNED PERMUTATIONS

James Korsh, Paul LaFollette, and Seymour Lipschutz

Department of CIS/Mathematics, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA 19122, U.S.A.

Abstract: Conway, Sloane and Wilks [2] proved the existence of a Gray code for the reflection group $B_n$. The elements of this group are the signed permutations of the set ${1,2,\dots,n}$. Here we give a loopless algorithm which generates a specific Gray code for $B_n$.

Keywords: algorithms; combinatorial; loopless; gray code; reflection groups; signed permutations

Classification (MSC2000): 68R05; 05A05
