Efficient Construction of Long Orientable Sequences

Authors: Daniel Gabrić and Joe Sawada

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 296, 35th Annual Symposium on Combinatorial Pattern Matching (CPM 2024)

Abstract
An orientable sequence of order n is a cyclic binary sequence such that each length-n substring appears at most once in either direction. Maximal length orientable sequences are known only for n ≤ 7, and a trivial upper bound on their length is 2^{n-1} - 2^{⌊(n-1)/2⌋}. This paper presents the first efficient algorithm to construct orientable sequences with asymptotically optimal length; more specifically, our algorithm constructs orientable sequences via cycle-joining and a successor-rule approach requiring O(n) time per bit and O(n) space. This answers a longstanding open question from Dai, Martin, Robshaw, Wild [Cryptography and Coding III (1993)]. Our sequences are applied to find new longest-known orientable sequences for n ≤ 20.

Gray Codes and Symmetric Chains

Authors: Petr Gregor, Sven Jäger, Torsten Mütze, Joe Sawada, and Kaja Wille

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 107, 45th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2018)

Abstract
We consider the problem of constructing a cyclic listing of all bitstrings of length 2n+1 with Hamming weights in the interval [n+1-l,n+l], where 1 <= l <= n+1, by flipping a single bit in each step. This is a far-ranging generalization of the well-known middle two levels problem (l=1). We provide a solution for the case l=2 and solve a relaxed version of the problem for general values of l, by constructing cycle factors for those instances. Our proof uses symmetric chain decompositions of the hypercube, a concept known from the theory of posets, and we present several new constructions of such decompositions. In particular, we construct four pairwise edge-disjoint symmetric chain decompositions of the n-dimensional hypercube for any n >= 12.
