CayleyR: Solving the TopSpin puzzle via cycle intersection
arXiv:2607. 13219v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We present cayleyR, an R package for solving permutation puzzles by detecting cycle intersections in Cayley graphs.
We present cayleyR, an R package for solving permutation puzzles by detecting cycle intersections in Cayley graphs. The core algorithm performs an iterative bidirectional search: from both the initial and target permutation states, random operation sequences generate cycles in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group Sn; their intersection yields a connecting path.

Macro placement is a fundamental step in modern chip physical design, playing a crucial role in determining the solution quality of high-dimensional combinatorial optimization problems. Despite recent advancements in machine learning for spatial coordinate determination, the temporal dimension of placement sequencing remains largely governed by static heuristics.

Motif discovery, the search for recurring patterns within a time series, is a core primitive of exploratory data analysis. A pattern, however, is defined by its duration, which analysts rarely know in advance.
arXiv:2404. 15616v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Grover's search algorithms, including various Partial Grover Searches (PGS), suffer from scaling issues when multiple solutions are sought, as the number of iterations scales with the number of solutions or marked states, making implementation more computationally expensive.
