Abstract

In this paper, we give approximation algorithms for several variations of the pancake flipping problem, which is also well known as the problem of sorting by prefix reversals. We consider the variations in the sorting process by adding prefix transpositions, prefix transreversals etc. along with the prefix reversals.
