Abstract

This note discusses sufficient conditions for a function of permutations (j₁, …, j_n) of the integers 1, 2, …, n to have a minimum at the permutation (j*₁, …, j*_n) and derives a solution algorithm that is equivalent to the known solution algorithm for special cases involving sequential search and testing.
