Abstract

The solution of the following problems is offered. Suppose a multiset J (¦J¦=p) is given. For each pair of elementsα andβ εJ, a number 1 ≤ χ∝β≤P is given. Moreover, if 1 < x∝β<p then x∝β is undefined. If x∝β=1, then x∝β=p. Problem 1. Find the permutation λ1...λF of elements of the multiset J satisfying the following conditions. Let λiα, λi=β. If i,j < x∝β, thenj <i. If i,j > x∝β, then i<j. Such a permutation is called a PC-schedule. Problem 2. Find a PC-schedule in which the following property holds: if i < x∝β < j, λi=α, λj=β, then

. Such a PC-schedule is called an SC-schedule. The conditions under which these problems have solutions are studied. For their solution an algorithm of shifts is used with the complexity O(¦B(J)¦2¦J¦).
