    In case there are several permutations with this property, let σ denote one with the highest number of integers from {, …,} satisfying = (). We will now prove by contradiction , that σ {\displaystyle \sigma } has to keep the order of y 1 , … , y n {\displaystyle y_{1},\ldots ,y_{n}} (then we are done with the upper bound in ( 1 ), because ...

    Graph representations of the permutations (1 7 5)(2 4 8)(3 6) and (1 3 7 4 5 8 2)(6) The prison director's assignment of prisoner numbers to drawers can mathematically be described as a permutation of the numbers 1 to 100.

  7. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    Following this algorithm, the next lexicographic permutation will be [1, 3, 2, 4], and the 24th permutation will be [4, 3, 2, 1] at which point a[k] < a[k + 1] does not exist, indicating that this is the last permutation. This method uses about 3 comparisons and 1.5 swaps per permutation, amortized over the whole sequence, not counting the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josephus_problem

    In computer science and mathematics, the Josephus problem (or Josephus permutation) is a theoretical problem related to a certain counting-out game. Such games are used to pick out a person from a group, e.g. eeny, meeny, miny, moe. A drawing for the Josephus problem sequence for 500 people and skipping value of 6.

  9. 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.
