Permutation S

perm.spad line 43 [edit on github]

Permutation(S) implements the group of all bijections on a set S, which move only a finite number of points. A permutation is considered as a map from S into S. In particular multiplication is defined as composition of maps: pi1 * pi2 = pi1 o pi2. The internal representation of permuatations are two lists of equal length representing preimages and images.

coerce: List List S -> %

coerce(lls) coerces a list of cycles lls to a permutation, each cycle being a list with no repetitions, is coerced to the permutation, which maps ls.i to ls.i+1, indices modulo the length of the list, then these permutations are mutiplied. Error: if repetitions occur in one cycle.

coerce: List S -> %

coerce(ls) coerces a cycle ls, i.e. a list with not repetitions to a permutation, which maps ls.i to ls.i+1, indices modulo the length of the list. Error: if repetitions occur.

coerceImages: List S -> % if S has Finite or S has IntegerNumberSystem

coerceImages(ls) coerces the list ls to a permutation whose image is given by ls and the preimage is fixed to be [1, …, n]. Note: {coerceImages(ls)=coercePreimagesImages([1, …, n], ls)}. We assume that both preimage and image do not contain repetitions.

coerceListOfPairs: List List S -> %

coerceListOfPairs(lls) coerces a list of pairs lls to a permutation. Error: if not consistent, i.e. the set of the first elements coincides with the set of second elements. coerce(p) generates output of the permutation p with domain OutputForm.

coercePreimagesImages: List List S -> %

coercePreimagesImages(lls) coerces the representation lls of a permutation as a list of preimages and images to a permutation. We assume that both preimage and image do not contain repetitions.

listRepresentation: % -> Record(preimage: List S, image: List S)

listRepresentation(p) produces a representation rep of the permutation p as a list of preimages and images, i.e p maps (rep.preimage).k to (rep.image).k for all indices k. Elements of S not in (rep.preimage).k are fixed points, and these are the only fixed points of the permutation.

movedPoints: % -> Set S

movedPoints(p) returns the set of points moved by the permutation p.

numberOfCycles: % -> NonNegativeInteger

numberOfCycles(p) returns the number of non-trivial cycles of the permutation p.

odd?(p) returns true if and only if p is an odd permutation i.e. sign(p) is -1.

sort: List % -> List %

sort(lp) sorts a list of permutations lp according to cycle structure first according to length of cycles, second, if S has Finite or S has OrderedSet according to lexicographical order of entries in cycles of equal length.
