Geometry and
complexity of O'Hara's algorithm (1), (2), (3)
In this
paper by Matjaz Konvalinka and Igor Pak (arXiv.org >
Mathematics > Combinatorics) the authors analyze
O'Hara's partition bijection. They present three type of results.
First, they show that O'Hara's bijection can be viewed geometrically as
a certain scissor congruence type result. Second, they obtain a number
of new complexity bounds, proving that O'Hara's bijection is efficient
in several special cases and mildly exponential in general. Finally,
they prove that for identities with finite support, the map of the
O'Hara's bijection can be computed in polynomial time, i.e. much more
efficiently than by O'Hara's construction (Cornell University Library).
