Abstract

In thegeneral circular permutation layout problem there are two concentric circles,C in andC out. There are a set ofn inner terminals onC in and a set ofn outer terminals onC out: terminalsi onC in and π i onC out are to be connected by means of a wire, where 1 ≤in. All wires must be realized in the interior ofC out. Each wire can intersectC in at most once and at mostK wires, for a fixedK, can pass between two adjacent inner terminals. A linear-time algorithm for obtaining a planar homotopy (single-layer realization) of an arbitrary instance of the general circular permutation layout problem, forK ≥ 0, is proposed. Previously,K = 1 has been studied. In this paper the algorithm is also extended to a more general problem, in which the number of wires allowed to pass between each pair of adjacent terminals onC in may be different from pair to pair.
