  2. Heap's algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap's_algorithm

    Because permutations of an array can be made by altering some array A through the removal of an element x from A then tacking on x to each permutation of the altered array, it follows that Heap's Algorithm permutes an array of size +, for the "buffer" in essence holds the removed element, being tacked onto the permutations of the subarray of ...

  3. Superpermutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation

    For instance, in the case of n = 2, the superpermutation 1221 contains all possible permutations (12 and 21), but the shorter string 121 also contains both permutations. It has been shown that for 1 ≤ n ≤ 5, the smallest superpermutation on n symbols has length 1! + 2! + … + n! (sequence A180632 in the OEIS). The first four smallest ...

  4. Permutation representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_representation

    Now the character of this representation is defined as the trace of this permutation matrix. An element on the diagonal of a permutation matrix is 1 if the point in is fixed, and 0 otherwise. So we can conclude that the trace of the permutation matrix is exactly equal to the number of fixed points of .

  5. Transposition cipher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transposition_cipher

    Both the width of the rows and the permutation of the columns are usually defined by a keyword. For example, the keyword ZEBRAS is of length 6 (so the rows are of length 6), and the permutation is defined by the alphabetical order of the letters in the keyword. In this case, the order would be "6 3 2 4 1 5".

  6. Permutation codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation_Codes

    A main problem in permutation codes is to determine the value of (,), where (,) is defined to be the maximum number of codewords in a permutation code of length and minimum distance . There has been little progress made for 4 ≤ d ≤ n − 1 {\displaystyle 4\leq d\leq n-1} , except for small lengths.

  7. Permutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permutation

    To effectively convert a Lehmer code d n, d n−1, ..., d 2, d 1 into a permutation of an ordered set S, one can start with a list of the elements of S in increasing order, and for i increasing from 1 to n set σ i to the element in the list that is preceded by d n+1−i other ones, and remove that element from the list.

  9. Lexicographic order - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographic_order

    Orderings of the 24 permutations of {1,...,5} that are 5-cycles (in blue). The inversion vectors (in red) of permutations in colex order are in revcolex order, and vice versa. The colexicographic or colex order is a variant of the lexicographical order that is obtained by reading finite sequences from the right to the left instead of reading ...
