  2. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    Moreover, the positions of the zeroes in the inversion table give the values of left-to-right maxima of the permutation (in the example 6, 8, 9) while the positions of the zeroes in the Lehmer code are the positions of the right-to-left minima (in the example positions the 4, 8, 9 of the values 1, 2, 5); this allows computing the distribution ...

  3. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    Suppose the initial iteration swapped the final element with the one at (non-final) position k, and that the subsequent permutation of first n − 1 elements then moved it to position l; we compare the permutation π of all n elements with that remaining permutation σ of the first n − 1 elements.

  4. Stirling numbers of the first kind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_numbers_of_the...

    These identities may be derived by enumerating permutations directly. For example, a permutation of n elements with n − 3 cycles must have one of the following forms: n − 6 fixed points and three two-cycles; n − 5 fixed points, a three-cycle and a two-cycle, or; n − 4 fixed points and a four-cycle.

  5. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    A map of the 24 permutations and the 23 swaps used in Heap's algorithm permuting the four letters A (amber), B (blue), C (cyan) and D (dark red) Wheel diagram of all permutations of length = generated by Heap's algorithm, where each permutation is color-coded (1=blue, 2=green, 3=yellow, 4=red).

  6. Permutation codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_Codes

    A main problem in permutation codes is to determine the value of (,), where (,) is defined to be the maximum number of codewords in a permutation code of length and minimum distance . There has been little progress made for 4 ≤ d ≤ n − 1 {\displaystyle 4\leq d\leq n-1} , except for small lengths.

  7. MinHash - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinHash

    The simplest version of the minhash scheme uses k different hash functions, where k is a fixed integer parameter, and represents each set S by the k values of h min (S) for these k functions. To estimate J(A,B) using this version of the scheme, let y be the number of hash functions for which h min (A) = h min (B), and use y/k as the estimate.

  8. Random permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_permutation

    A simple algorithm to generate a permutation of n items uniformly at random without retries, known as the Fisher–Yates shuffle, is to start with any permutation (for example, the identity permutation), and then go through the positions 0 through n − 2 (we use a convention where the first element has index 0, and the last element has index n − 1), and for each position i swap the element ...

  9. Permutation pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_pattern

    A k-superpattern is a permutation that contains all permutations of length k. For example, 25314 is a 3-superpattern because it contains all 6 permutations of length 3. It is known that k-superpatterns must have length at least k 2 /e 2, where e ≈ 2.71828 is Euler's number, [33] and that there exist k-superpatterns of length ⌈(k 2 + 1)/2 ...
