Sorting by Prefix Block-Interchanges

Abstract

We initiate the study of sorting permutations using prefix block-interchanges, which exchange any prefix of a permutation with another non-intersecting interval. The goal is to transform a given permutation into the identity permutation using as few such operations as possible. We give a 2-approximation algorithm for this problem, show how to obtain improved lower and upper bounds on the corresponding distance, and determine the largest possible value for that distance.
