Dynamic optimization on a set of permutations
The classical problem of optimization on the permutation set is considered. The specific approach of the author is based on representing permutations as integer nonnegative solutions of the equation 2x0.+ 2x1 +...+2xn=2n-1 the objective function is assumed to be in the form f(x)= ∑i=0n-1fi(xi,xi+1), which allows the use of dynamic programming.
