Linear-Size Log-Depth Negation-Limited Inverter for k-tonic 0/1 Sequences

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A binary sequence $x_1, \ldots, x_n$ is called $k$-tonic if for $1 \leq i \leq n-1$ the number of $i$'s such that $x_i \neq x_{i+1}$ is at most $k$. In this paper, we give the construction of a circuit inverting $k$-tonic sequences, which has size $O((\log k) \cdot n)$ depth $O((\log k) \cdot \log \log n + \log n)$ and contains $\log_2 n + O(\log\log n)$ NOT gates. Our construction improves all parameters of the construction by Sato, Amano and Maruoka, whose size is $O(kn)$ and depth is $O(k\log^{2}n)$ using $O(k\log n)$ NOT gates. If $k = O(1)$, the previous construction needs $O(\log^{2}n)$ depth, but our inverter has linear size and log depth using $O(\log n)$ NOT gates. Beals, Nishino and Tanaka have shown the construction of a size $O(n\log n)$ depth $O(\log n)$ inverter for all sequences with $\lceil \log_2(n+1) \rceil$ NOT gates. If $k=n^{o(1)}$, our construction reduces the size to $o(n\log n)$ with the same depth and only $O(\log\log n)$ increase of the number of NOT gates. Our idea on the construction of an inverter for $k$-tonic sequences also give an improvement for a circuit sorting $k$-tonic sequences from the construction by Sato, Amano and Maruoka.
