Abstract: We present two efficient methods of constructing universal cycles for the set of all k -permutations of the n -set { 1 , 2 , ... , n } for n > k ≥ 3. These two methods generate universal cycles for k -permutations from pure cycling registers with feedback function f (x 0 , x 1 , ... , x k − 1) = x 0 , using the cycle joining method. Here we design two classes of successor rules that build upon a framework proposed by Gabric et al. (2020), each of which produces n − k shift inequivalent universal cycles for k -permutations. Each universal cycle for k -permutations can be generated in O (n) time per symbol using O (n) space. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
