Calling Sequence

rankperm( p )

unrankperm( n, r )

Parameters

p

-

permlist; permutation of positive integers from 1 to n for some n

n

-

posint; permutation degree

r

-

posint; rank of permutation

Description

• 

Given a permutation p (of type permlist) of the integers 1 through n, for some n, the command rankperm returns the lexicographic rank of p. That is, its position in the lexicographically sorted list of all permutations of degree n.

• 

The unrankperm command is a kind of inverse to rankperm.   Given the lexicographic rank r (an integer in the range 1..n!), it returns the permutation that occurs in position r in a lexicographically sorted list of all the permutations of {1,2,...,n}.

Thread Safety

• 

The combinat[rankperm] and combinat[unrankperm] commands are thread-safe as of Maple 16.

• 

For more information on thread safety, see index/threadsafe.
