permutation

Mathematics
  • A permutation of a set S is a bijection from S to S. The permutations of S form a group, the symmetric group Sym(S) of S, under composition.

  • In combinatorics, a permutation of n objects is an arrangement n objects. The number of permutations of n objects is equal to n!. The number of ‘permutations of r objects from n objects’ is denoted by nPr, and equals

    n(n1)(nr+1)=n!(nr)!.

    For example, there are 12 permutations of A, B, C, D taken two at a time: AB, AC, AD, BA, BC, BD, CA, CB, CD, DA, DB, DC.

    Suppose that n objects are of k different kinds, with r1 alike of one kind, r2 of a second kind, and so on. Then the number of distinct permutations of the n objects equals the multinomial coefficient

    n!r1!r2!rk!,

    where r1 + r2 + … + rk = n. For example, the number of different anagrams of the word ‘CHEESES’ is 7!/3! 2!, which equals 420. Compare combination.


Statistics
  • An ordered arrangement of n different objects. The number of permutations (i.e. the number of different possible ordered arrangements) is n!.

    For ordered selection of r objects from a set of n(≥r) different objects, the number of permutations of r from n, i.e. the number of different possible ordered selections, is usually denoted by nPr. In fact,permutationSpecial values are nP0=1, nP1=n, nPn=n!. For example, the 6 (=3!) permutations of {A, B, C} are ABC, ACB, BAC, BCA, CAB, CBA, and there are 24 (=4 × 3 × 2) permutations of 3 letters from {A, B, C, D}.

    If the n objects are not all different, and there are n1 objects of type 1, n2 objects of type 2,…, nk objects of type k, where n1+n2+⋯+nk=n, then the number of different ordered arrangements ispermutationFor unordered selection, see combination.


Computer
  • (of a set S) A bijection of S onto itself. When S is finite, a permutation can be portrayed as a rearrangement of the elements of S. The number of permutations of a set of n elements is n!

    A permutation of the elements of {1,2,3} can be written

    123213
    indicating that 1 is mapped into 2, 2 into 1, and 3 into 3. Alternatively the above can be written, using a cycle notation, as (1 2); this implies that the element 3 is unaltered but that 1 is mapped into 2 and 2 into 1.

    For collections of elements in which repeated occurrences of items may exist, a permutation can be described as a rearrangement of elements in which each element appears with the same frequency as before.


Logic
  • 1. The classically valid rule of inference that allows one to permute antecedents in some nested conditional sentences. Where is a conditional connective, this is captured by the inference:

    φ(ψξ)ψ(φξ)

    In some contexts, the term refers to the axiom form of the inference as well, i.e.

    • (φ(ψξ))(ψ(φξ))

    Because the permutation of antecedents resembles the operation of commutation, this inference is often associated with the commutativity rules for conjunction and disjunction.

    2. See exchange.
