Rewriting with Rank Modulation • If we represent n! symbols then in the worst case we apply n-1 push-to-the-top operations to transfer from one permutation to another • Problem: Is it possible to use less push-to-the-top operations in case less than n! symbols are represented? • Rank Modulation Rewriting code (RMRC) (n,M) consists of • Update function: E: Sn×[M] -> Sn • Decoding function D: Sn-> [M]

Rewriting with Rank Modulation • Lemma: Br =n!/(n-r)! • For n,M, define r(n,M) to be the smallest integer such that Br(n,M) ≥ M • Lemma (Lower Bound): For any RMRC (n,M), its rewriting cost is at least r(n,M) • A tight upper bound on the rewriting cost is given by a construction • Theorem: There exists a RMRC with parameters (n,M≤Br) and cost r • Ex. (n,n) with cost 1 • Ex. (n,n(n-1)) with cost 2 • Ex. (n,n!) with cost n-1 • Ex. (n,n!/2) with cost n-2

Kendall’s Tau Distance • For a permutation an adjacent transposition is the local exchange of two adjacent elements • For ,π∊Sm, dτ(,π) is the Kendall’s tau distance between andπ = Number of adjacent transpositions to change to beπ =2413 andπ=2314 2413 dτ(,π) = 3 It is called also the bubble-sort distance Lemma: Kendall’s tau distance induces a metric on Sn The Kendall’s tau distance is the number of pairs that do not agree in their order 2134 2143 2314 2143 2134
Kendall’s Tau Distance • Lemma: Kendall’s tau distance induces a metric on Sn • The Kendall’s tau distance is the number of pairs that do not agree in their order • For a permutation , Wτ() = {(i,j) | i<j, -1(i) > -1(i) } • Lemma: dτ(,π) = |Wτ()Wτ(π)| = |Wτ()\Wτ(π)| + |Wτ(π)\Wτ()| • dτ(,id) = |Wτ()| • The maximum Kendall’s tau distance is n(n-1)/2 • The inversion vector of is x =(x(2),…,x(n)) x(i) = # of elements to the right of i and are less then i • dτ(,id) = |Wτ()| = Σ2≤i≤nx(i)
Kendall’s Tau Distance • The Kendall’s tau ball: Br() = {π|dτ(,π) ≤ r} • The Kendall’s tau sphere: Sr() = {π|dτ(,π) = r} • They do not depend on the center • |B1()| = n, |S1()| = n-1
