Abstract

Given a multiset of positive integers A= {a1, a2,..., an}, the pinwheel problem is to find an infinite sequence over { 1, 2,..., n} such that there is at least one symbol i within any subsequence of length ai. The density of A is defined as ρ(A)= Σi=1n (1/ai). We limit ourselves to instances composed of three distinct integers. Currently, the best scheduler [5] can schedule such instances with a density less than 0.77. A new and fast scheduling scheme based on spectrum partitioning is proposed which improves the 0.77 result to a new 5/6 ≈ 0.83 density threshold. This scheduler has achieved the exact theoretical bound of this problem.
