  2. Permutation - Wikipedia

    Permutations without repetition on the left, with repetition to their right. If M is a finite multiset, then a multiset permutation is an ordered arrangement of elements of M in which each element appears a number of times equal exactly to its multiplicity in M. An anagram of a word having some repeated letters is an example of a multiset ...

  3. Partial permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_permutation

    Some authors restrict partial permutations so that either the domain [4] or the range [3] of the bijection is forced to consist of the first k items in the set of n items being permuted, for some k. In the former case, a partial permutation of length k from an n-set is just a sequence of k terms from the n-set without repetition.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    A requirement that be injective means that no label can be used a second time; the result is a sequence of labels without repetition. In the absence of such a requirement, the terminology "sequences with repetition" is used, meaning that labels may be used more than once (although sequences that happen to be without repetition are also allowed).

  7. Rhetorical operations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhetorical_operations

    Quintilian saw rhetoric as the science of the possible deviation from a given norm, or from a pre-existing text taken as a model. Each variation can be seen as a figure (figures of speech or figures of thought). [4] From this perspective, Quintilian famously formulated four fundamental operations according to the analysis of any such variation.

    A circular permutation is a relationship between proteins whereby the proteins have a changed order of amino acids in their peptide sequence. The result is a protein structure with different connectivity, but overall similar three-dimensional (3D) shape.
