  3. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    A different rule for multiplying permutations comes from writing the argument to the left of the function, so that the leftmost permutation acts first. [ 30 ] [ 31 ] [ 32 ] In this notation, the permutation is often written as an exponent, so σ acting on x is written x σ ; then the product is defined by x σ ⋅ τ = ( x σ ) τ ...

  4. Permutation group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_group

    A permutation group is a subgroup of a symmetric group; that is, its elements are permutations of a given set. It is thus a subset of a symmetric group that is closed under composition of permutations, contains the identity permutation, and contains the inverse permutation of each of its elements. [2]

  5. Cyclic permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_permutation

    In mathematics, and in particular in group theory, a cyclic permutation is a permutation consisting of a single cycle. [1] [2] In some cases, cyclic permutations are referred to as cycles; [3] if a cyclic permutation has k elements, it may be called a k-cycle. Some authors widen this definition to include permutations with fixed points in ...

  6. Derangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement

    This is the limit of the probability that a randomly selected permutation of a large number of objects is a derangement. The probability converges to this limit extremely quickly as n increases, which is why !n is the nearest integer to n!/e. The above semi-log graph shows that the derangement graph lags the permutation graph by an almost ...

  7. Inversion (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(discrete...

    An inversion may be denoted by the pair of places (2, 4) or the pair of elements (5, 2). The inversions of this permutation using element-based notation are: (3, 1), (3, 2), (5, 1), (5, 2), and (5,4). In computer science and discrete mathematics, an inversion in a sequence is a pair of elements that are out of their natural order.

  8. Trapdoor function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trapdoor_function

    For any k ∈ K, without trapdoor t k, for any PPT algorithm, the probability to correctly invert f k (i.e., given f k (x), find a pre-image x' such that f k (x' ) = f k (x)) is negligible. [3] [4] [5] If each function in the collection above is a one-way permutation, then the collection is also called a trapdoor permutation. [6]

  9. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that can be considered "discrete" (in a way analogous to discrete variables, having a bijection with the set of natural numbers) rather than "continuous" (analogously to continuous functions).
