If investigating algorithms irritates you, ignore it. The people
writing papers on this topic don't feel it's a waste of time. For
example,
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/bespamyatnikh00enumerating.html
"Enumerating Longest Increasing Subsequences and Patience Sorting (2000)"
Sergei Bespamyatnikh, Michael Segal
That's easy to follow, although their use of a Van Emde-Boas set as a
given hides the most challenging part (the "efficient data structure"
part).
