  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. Gilbreath shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbreath_shuffle

    Gilbreath permutations can be characterized by the property that every prefix contains a consecutive set of numbers. [1] For instance, the permutation (5,6,4,7,8,3,2,9,1,10) is a Gilbreath permutation for n = 10 that can be obtained by dealing off the first four or five cards and riffling them with the rest. Each of its prefixes (5), (5,6), (5 ...

  4. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    In the given example, there are 12 = 2(3!) permutations with property P 1, 6 = 3! permutations with property P 2 and no permutations have properties P 3 or P 4 as there are no restrictions for these two elements. The number of permutations satisfying the restrictions is thus: 4! − (12 + 6 + 0 + 0) + (4) = 24 − 18 + 4 = 10.

  5. Derangement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement

    This is the limit of the probability that a randomly selected permutation of a large number of objects is a derangement. The probability converges to this limit extremely quickly as n increases, which is why !n is the nearest integer to n!/e. The above semi-log graph shows that the derangement graph lags the permutation graph by an almost ...

  6. Fisher–Yates shuffle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher–Yates_shuffle

    It can produce more permutations if one exercises the generator a great many times before starting to use it for generating permutations, but this is a very inefficient way of increasing randomness: supposing one can arrange to use the generator a random number of up to a billion, say 2 30 for simplicity, times between initialization and ...

  7. Inversion (discrete mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_(discrete...

    The identity is its minimum, and the permutation formed by reversing the identity is its maximum. If a permutation were assigned to each inversion set using the element-based definition, the resulting order of permutations would be that of a Cayley graph, where an edge corresponds to the swapping of two elements on consecutive places. This ...

  8. Erdős–Szekeres theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erdős–Szekeres_theorem

    For r = 3 and s = 2, the formula tells us that any permutation of three numbers has an increasing subsequence of length three or a decreasing subsequence of length two. Among the six permutations of the numbers 1,2,3: 1,2,3 has an increasing subsequence consisting of all three numbers; 1,3,2 has a decreasing subsequence 3,2

  9. Confusion and diffusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confusion_and_diffusion

    In substitution–permutation networks, diffusion is provided by permutation boxes (a.k.a. permutation layer [4]). In the beginning of the 21st century a consensus had appeared where the designers preferred the permutation layer to consist of linear Boolean functions , although nonlinear functions can be used, too.
