The variant where variables are required to be 0 or 1, called zero-one linear programming, and several other variants are also NP-complete [2] [3]: MP1 Some problems related to Job-shop scheduling; Knapsack problem, quadratic knapsack problem, and several variants [2] [3]: MP9 Some problems related to Multiprocessor scheduling
The problem here is that the low-order bits of a linear congruential PRNG with modulo 2 e are less random than the high-order ones: [6] the low n bits of the generator themselves have a period of at most 2 n. When the divisor is a power of two, taking the remainder essentially means throwing away the high-order bits, such that one ends up with ...
The sequence of permutations generated by the Steinhaus–Johnson–Trotter algorithm has a natural recursive structure, that can be generated by a recursive algorithm. . However the actual Steinhaus–Johnson–Trotter algorithm does not use recursion, instead computing the same sequence of permutations by a simple iterative me
(n factorial) is the number of n-permutations; !n (n subfactorial) is the number of derangements – n-permutations where all of the n elements change their initial places. In combinatorial mathematics , a derangement is a permutation of the elements of a set in which no element appears in its original position.
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.
This is an optimal stop problem, a classic in decision theory, statistics and applied probabilities, where a random permutation is gradually revealed through the first elements of its Lehmer code, and where the goal is to stop exactly at the element k such as σ(k)=n, whereas the only available information (the k first values of the Lehmer code ...
In combinatorics, the twelvefold way is a systematic classification of 12 related enumerative problems concerning two finite sets, which include the classical problems of counting permutations, combinations, multisets, and partitions either of a set or of a number.
In combinatorial mathematics and theoretical computer science, a (classical) permutation pattern is a sub-permutation of a longer permutation.Any permutation may be written in one-line notation as a sequence of entries representing the result of applying the permutation to the sequence 123...; for instance the sequence 213 represents the permutation on three elements that swaps elements 1 and 2.
