| contents | We first present a simple recursive algorithm that generates cyclic rotation Gray codes for stamp foldings and semi-meanders, where consecutive strings differ by a stamp rotation. These are the first known Gray codes for stamp foldings and semi-meanders, and we thus solve an open problem posted by Sawada and Li in [Electron. J. Comb. 19(2), 2012]. We then introduce an iterative algorithm that generates the same rotation Gray codes for stamp foldings and semi-meanders. Both the recursive and iterative algorithms generate stamp foldings and semi-meanders in constant amortized time and $O(n)$-amortized time per string respectively, using a linear amount of memory. |
