MD Atkinson, MM Murphy, Nikola Ruskuc

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

The permutations that can be sorted by two stacks in series are considered, subject to the condition that each stack remains ordered. A forbidden characterisation of such permutations is obtained and the number of permutations of each length is determined by a generating function. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
