Abstract: The problem of sorting circular binary strings with length-weighted transpositions was considered, i.e. the cost of a transposition is f(l)=lα,0≤α<1, where l is the length of the transposition. An O(logn)approximation algorithm is given for sorting a circular binary string with the minimum cost, where n is the length of the circular string. The result has direct applications in computational biology in the field of comparative genomics.

Key words: approximation algorithm , transposition, circular binary string
