  2. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    In elementary combinatorics, the k-permutations, or partial permutations, are the ordered arrangements of k distinct elements selected from a set. When k is equal to the size of the set, these are the permutations in the previous sense.

  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. Robinson–Schensted–Knuth correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinson–Schensted...

    The Robinson–Schensted correspondence is a bijective mapping between permutations and pairs of standard Young tableaux, both having the same shape.This bijection can be constructed using an algorithm called Schensted insertion, starting with an empty tableau and successively inserting the values σ 1, ..., σ n of the permutation σ at the numbers 1, 2, ..., n; these form the second line ...

  5. Stars and bars (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_and_bars_(combinatorics)

    The solution to this particular problem is given by the binomial coefficient (+), which is the number of subsets of size k − 1 that can be formed from a set of size n + k − 1. If, for example, there are two balls and three bins, then the number of ways of placing the balls is (+) = =. The table shows the six possible ways of distributing ...

  6. Combinations and permutations - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  7. 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).

  8. Eulerian number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_number

    The permutations of the multiset {,,,, …,,} which have the property that for each k, all the numbers appearing between the two occurrences of k in the permutation are greater than k are counted by the double factorial number ()!!.

  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 ...
