A CAT algorithm for the exhaustive generation of ice piles

Paolo Massazza, Roberto Radicioni (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We present a CAT (constant amortized time) algorithm for generating those partitions of n that are in the ice pile model IPM k (n), a generalization of the sand pile model SPM (n). More precisely, for any fixed integer k, we show that the negative lexicographic ordering naturally identifies a tree structure on the lattice IPM k (n): this lets us design an algorithm which generates all the ice piles of IPM k (n) in amortized time O(1) and in space O( n ).
