Invariant Properties of the Shuffle-Exchange and a Simplified Cost-Effective Version of the Omega Network
May 1983 (vol. 32 no. 5)
pp. 444-450
D. Steinberg, Israel Aircraft Industries
Let O denote the set of permutations performable by a pass through the Omega network (an n-stage shuffle-exchange network), and let p denote an arbitrary permutation of N = 2n elements. In this paper we characterize the sets {p|pO = O} (called left invariants) and {p|Op = O} (called right invariants). This characterization provides a useful criterion for determining whether or not the composition of two permutations belongs to O; it also allows a number of known results to be generalized and their derivations simplified.
