(Note: this is the partition, not a member of the partition.) For any non-empty set X, P = { X} is a partition of X, called the trivial partition. Particularly, every singleton set {x} has exactly one partition, namely { {x} }. For any non-empty proper subset A of a set U, the set A together with its complement form a partition of U, namely ...
For example, 4 can be partitioned in five distinct ways: 4 3 + 1 2 + 2 2 + 1 + 1 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. The only partition of zero is the empty sum, having no parts. The order-dependent composition 1 + 3 is the same partition as 3 + 1, and the two distinct compositions 1 + 2 + 1 and 1 + 1 + 2 represent the same partition as 2 + 1 + 1.
A partition in kind is a division of the property itself among the co-owners. In a partition by allotment, which is not available in all jurisdictions, the court awards full ownership of the land to a single owner or subset of owners, and orders them to pay the person or persons divested of ownership for the interest awarded.
The grand canonical partition function applies to a grand canonical ensemble, in which the system can exchange both heat and particles with the environment, at fixed temperature, volume, and chemical potential. Other types of partition functions can be defined for different circumstances; see partition function (mathematics) for
The layout of a disk with the GUID Partition Table. In this example, each logical block is 512 bytes in size and each entry has 128 bytes. The corresponding partition entries are assumed to be located in LBA 2–33. Negative LBA addresses indicate a position from the end of the volume, with −1 being the last addressable block.
A group action is primitive if it is isomorphic to G/H for a maximal subgroup H of G, and imprimitive otherwise (that is, if there is a proper subgroup K of G of which H is a proper subgroup). These imprimitive actions are examples of induced representations. The numbers of primitive groups of small degree were stated by Robert Carmichael in 1937:
A subgroup H of a group G can be used to define an action of H on G in two natural ways. A right action, G × H → G given by (g, h) → gh or a left action, H × G → G given by (h, g) → hg. The orbit of g under the right action is the left coset gH, while the orbit under the left action is the right coset Hg. [10]
The values (), …, of the partition function (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 15, and 22) can be determined by counting the Young diagrams for the partitions of the numbers from 1 to 8. In number theory, the partition function p(n) represents the number of possible partitions of a non-negative integer n.
