A new lower bound for deterministic pop-stack-sorting

Abstract

The pop-stack-sorting process is a variation of the stack-sort process. We consider a deterministic version of this process, and provide a new lower bound of 35n for the number of sorts to fully sort a uniformly randomly chosen permutation via a useful lemma.
