Title
Approximation algorithm for the cyclic swap problem
Abstract
Given two n-bit (cyclic) binary strings, A and B, represented on a circle (necklace instances). Let each sequence have the same number k of 1's. We are interested in computing the cyclic swap distance between A and B, i.e., the minimum number of swaps needed to convert A into B, minimized over all rotations of B. We show that this distance may be approximated in O(n + k2) time.
