Consider a finite sequence of permutations of the elements 1,...,n, with the property that each element changes its position by at most 1 from any permutation to the next. We call such a sequence a tangle, and we define a move of element i to be a maximal subsequence of at least two consecutive permutations during which its positions form an arithmetic progression of common difference +1 or -1. We prove that for any initial and final permutations, there is a tangle connecting them in which each…

Computing Optimal Tangles Faster
• Computer Science, Mathematics
ArXiv
• 2019
An algorithm is given that computes an optimal tangle for $n$ wires and a given list of swaps in $O(n!\varphi^n)$ time, where $\varphi \approx 1.618$ is the golden ratio.
Computing Height-Optimal Tangles Faster
• Computer Science
Graph Drawing
• 2019
An algorithm is given that can treat lists where every swap occurs at most once in $O(n!\varphi^n)$ time and implemented the algorithm for the general case and compared it to an existing algorithm.
The Complexity of Finding Tangles
• Mathematics
ArXiv
• 2020
It is shown that it is even NP-hard to decide if a realizing tangle exists, which means that each pair of wires changes its order exactly as many times as specified by $L$.

Enumerative combinatorics
