  2. Enumerative combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enumerative_combinatorics

    Two examples of this type of problem are counting combinations and counting permutations. More generally, given an infinite collection of finite sets S i indexed by the natural numbers, enumerative combinatorics seeks to describe a counting function which counts the number of objects in S n for each n.

  3. Steinhaus–Johnson–Trotter algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinhaus–Johnson...

    The Steinhaus–Johnson–Trotter algorithm follows this structure: the sequence of permutations it generates consists of ()! blocks of permutations, so that within each block the permutations agree on the ordering of the numbers from 1 to and differ only in the position of . The blocks themselves are ordered recursively, according to the ...

  4. 100 prisoners problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/100_prisoners_problem

    Such a permutation is a one-to-one mapping of the set of natural numbers from 1 to 100 to itself. A sequence of numbers which after repeated application of the permutation returns to the first number is called a cycle of the permutation. Every permutation can be decomposed into disjoint cycles, that

  5. Superpermutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation

    First, the superpermutation of order is split into its individual permutations in the order of how they appeared in the superpermutation. Each of those permutation are then placed next to a copy of themselves with an nth symbol added in between the two copies. Finally, each resulting structure is placed next to each other and all adjacent ...

  6. Claw-free permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claw-free_permutation

    The terminology claw free was introduced by Goldwasser, Micali, and Rivest in their 1984 paper, "A Paradoxical Solution to the Signature Problem" (and later in a more complete journal paper), where they showed that the existence of claw-free pairs of trapdoor permutations implies the existence of digital signature schemes secure against ...

  7. Programming by permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_by_permutation

    Programming by permutation, sometimes called "programming by accident" or "shotgunning", is an approach to software development wherein a programming problem is solved by iteratively making small changes (permutations) and testing each change to see if it behaves as desired. This approach sometimes seems attractive when the programmer does not ...

  8. Factorial number system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_number_system

    In each case, calculating the permutation proceeds by using the leftmost factoradic digit (here, 0, 1, or 2) as the first permutation digit, then removing it from the list of choices (0, 1, and 2). Think of this new list of choices as zero indexed, and use each successive factoradic digit to choose from its remaining elements.

  9. HackerRank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HackerRank

    HackerRank categorizes most of their programming challenges into a number of core computer science domains, [3] including database management, mathematics, and artificial intelligence. When a programmer submits a solution to a programming challenge, their submission is scored on the accuracy of their output.
