MonotonicFactors - Maple Help

StringTools

 MonotonicFactors
 compute the (left-to-right) monotonic factorization of a string

 Calling Sequence MonotonicFactors( w )

Parameters

 w - Maple string

Description

 • The MonotonicFactors( w ) command produces the monotonic factorization of the string w. It returns a list of strings whose catenation is the string w, such that each string in the list is maximal monotonic (either increasing or decreasing).
 • All of the StringTools package commands treat strings as (null-terminated) sequences of $8$-bit (ASCII) characters.  Thus, there is no support for multibyte character encodings, such as unicode encodings.
