  2. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    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.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    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).

    Boris Karloff in James Whale's 1931 film Frankenstein, based on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel.The monster is created by an unorthodox biology experiment.. Biology appears in fiction, especially but not only in science fiction, both in the shape of real aspects of the science, used as themes or plot devices, and in the form of fictional elements, whether fictional extensions or applications of ...

  7. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    In a 1977 review of permutation-generating algorithms, Robert Sedgewick concluded that it was at that time the most effective algorithm for generating permutations by computer. [2] The sequence of permutations of n objects generated by Heap's algorithm is the beginning of the sequence of permutations of n+1 objects.

  8. Separable permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separable_permutation

    In combinatorial mathematics, a separable permutation is a permutation that can be obtained from the trivial permutation 1 by direct sums and skew sums. [1] Separable permutations may be characterized by the forbidden permutation patterns 2413 and 3142; [2] they are also the permutations whose permutation graphs are cographs and the permutations that realize the series-parallel partial orders.

  9. Talk:Combinations and permutations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Combinations_and...

    The terms "permutations with repetion" and "permutations without repetition" seem inappropriate because a permutation by definition is a one-to-one and onto function :. So a permutation with repetition is a contradiction and a permutation without repetition is a tautology. I don't know what the proper terms should be.
