WebThe second problem, highly related to the first one, takes its origin in a famous theorem found by Alon in 1987 stating that a necklace with t types of beads and qau occurrences of each type u (au is a positive integer) can always be fairly split between q thieves with at most t(q − 1) cuts. WebJun 1, 2006 · For the binary case, which is APX-hard according to Theorem 2 a little more is known.

WebJun 1, 2006 · This problem is called the paint shop problem for words (PPW), and is motivated by an application in car manufacturing [5] ... Moreover, we show that the 1R2C-PPW is equivalent to the problem of finding a shortest circuit in a certain class of binary matroids. Consequences of this approach are polynomial time solution algorithms for … http://m-hikari.com/ams/ams-2012/ams-93-96-2012/popovAMS93-96-2012-2.pdf devonshire floor plan

Binary Paintshop Problem with Quantum Approximate …

WebIn the Binary Paintshop problem, there are m m cars appearing in a sequence of length 2m 2 m, with each car occurring twice. Each car needs to be colored with two colors. The goal is to choose for each car, which of its occurrences receives either color, so as to minimize the total number of color changes in the sequence. WebIt is well-known that there are instances of the binary paint shop problem for which the recursive greedy heuristic is better than the greedy heuristic. In this note, we give an example of a family of instances where the greedy heuristic is better than the recursive greedy heuristic, thus showing that these heuristics are uncorrelated.
