The cycle-membership conjecture for skew-symmetric plane permutations
Let and denote the signed sets used for the plane permutation, let be the reversal permutation, and let denote the diagonal permutation of the plane permutation . Assume that is skew-symmetric on and that
Cycle-membership conjecture. The elements and belong to the same cycle of .
This is presented as a generalization of the preceding exact-case conjecture and is intended to support the comparison between the paper's lower bound for signed reversal distance and the break-point-graph bound. The supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
