Abstract
The problem of interchanging the terminals on the cells at the sides of a channel in order to obtain new channels that can be routed more efficiently is considered. A linear-time algorithm that detects whether there exists an interchange of the terminals that produces a river routable problem is given, and O (n 2) algorithm that finds a terminal permutation that guarantees that the density of the channel routing problem is minimal over all possible permutations is presented
