  2. DES supplementary material - Wikipedia

    The expansion function is interpreted as for the initial and final permutations. Note that some bits from the input are duplicated at the output; e.g. the fifth bit of the input is duplicated in both the sixth and eighth bit of the output. Thus, the 32-bit half-block is expanded to 48 bits.

  3. Derangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement

    In other words, a derangement is a permutation that has no fixed points. The number of derangements of a set of size n is known as the subfactorial of n or the n th derangement number or n th de Montmort number (after Pierre Remond de Montmort). Notations for subfactorials in common use include !n, D n, d n, or n¡ . [a] [1] [2]

  4. 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 ...

  5. Levi-Civita symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levi-Civita_symbol

    As it does not change at all, the Levi-Civita symbol is, by definition, a pseudotensor. As the Levi-Civita symbol is a pseudotensor, the result of taking a cross product is a pseudovector, not a vector. [5] Under a general coordinate change, the components of the permutation tensor are multiplied by the Jacobian of the transformation matrix ...

  6. Parity of a permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parity_of_a_permutation

    The odd permutations cannot form a subgroup, since the composite of two odd permutations is even, but they form a coset of A n (in S n). [ 5 ] If n > 1 , then there are just as many even permutations in S n as there are odd ones; [ 3 ] consequently, A n contains n ! /2 permutations.

  7. 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.

  8. Eulerian number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eulerian_number

    In combinatorics, the Eulerian number (,) is the number of permutations of the numbers 1 to in which exactly elements are greater than the previous element (permutations with "ascents"). Leonhard Euler investigated them and associated polynomials in his 1755 book Institutiones calculi differentialis .

  9. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    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.
