Abstract


Sorting by transpositions is a classic problem proposed in genome rearrangement and settled as NP-hard. The historical approach has been to study permutations candidates to be diametral. The transposition diameter is a related challenging open problem. We advance the study of both problems. We present tighter bounds for the distance of lonely permutations, we set the current lower bound for the diameter, and also show families that reach such bound. Furthermore, we propose a strategy to increase the lower bound.
