  2. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    In the given example, there are 12 = 2(3!) permutations with property P 1, 6 = 3! permutations with property P 2 and no permutations have properties P 3 or P 4 as there are no restrictions for these two elements. The number of permutations satisfying the restrictions is thus: 4! − (12 + 6 + 0 + 0) + (4) = 24 − 18 + 4 = 10.

  3. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    In combinatorics, the twelvefold way is a systematic classification of 12 related enumerative problems concerning two finite sets, which include the classical problems of counting permutations, combinations, multisets, and partitions either of a set or of a number.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinations_and_permutations

    Combinations and permutations in the mathematical sense are described in several articles. Described together, in-depth: Twelvefold way; Explained separately in a more accessible way: Combination; Permutation; For meanings outside of mathematics, please see both words’ disambiguation pages: Combination (disambiguation) Permutation ...

  6. Automorphisms of the symmetric and alternating groups

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automorphisms_of_the...

    The specific nature of the outer automorphism is as follows. The 360 permutations in the even subgroup (A 6) are transformed amongst themselves: the sole identity permutation maps to itself; a 3-cycle such as (1 2 3) maps to the product of two 3-cycles such as (1 4 5)(2 6 3) and vice versa, accounting for 40 permutations each way;

  7. Lehmer code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lehmer_code

    In mathematics and in particular in combinatorics, the Lehmer code is a particular way to encode each possible permutation of a sequence of n numbers. It is an instance of a scheme for numbering permutations and is an example of an inversion table. The Lehmer code is named in reference to D. H. Lehmer, [1] but the code had been known since 1888 ...

  8. Enumerative combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerative_combinatorics

    Two examples of this type of problem are counting combinations and counting permutations. More generally, given an infinite collection of finite sets S i indexed by the natural numbers, enumerative combinatorics seeks to describe a counting function which counts the number of objects in S n for each n.

  9. Permutation pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_pattern

    In combinatorial mathematics and theoretical computer science, a (classical) permutation pattern is a sub-permutation of a longer permutation.Any permutation may be written in one-line notation as a sequence of entries representing the result of applying the permutation to the sequence 123...; for instance the sequence 213 represents the permutation on three elements that swaps elements 1 and 2.
