Class CyclicReversalIndependentDistanceDouble

java.lang.Object

org.cicirello.permutations.distance.CyclicReversalIndependentDistanceDouble

All Implemented Interfaces:

PermutationDistanceMeasurerDouble

public final class CyclicReversalIndependentDistanceDouble
extends Object
implements PermutationDistanceMeasurerDouble

This class implements the combination of cyclic independence and reversal independence. This is relevant if any rotation of the permutation or its reverse has the same problem dependent interpretation. For example, if the permutation represents a solution to a traveling salesperson problem (i.e. a tour of a set of cities), then the cost of that tour is the same if you rotate it, reverse it, or reverse it and rotate it.

In this case, this class computes the minimum of the distance from permutation p1 to rotations of p2 and rotations of the reverse of p2, where the underlying distance measure is passed as a parameter to the constructor.

Since:

1.0
