The partitions package provides efficient vectorized
code to enumerate solutions to various integer equations. For example,
we might note that
and we might want to list all seven in a consistent format (note here that each sum is written in nonincreasing order, so is considered to be the same as ).
You can install the released version of wedge from CRAN with:
# install.packages("partitions") # uncomment this to install the package
library("partitions")partitions
package in useTo enumerate the partitions of 5:
parts(5)
#>
#> [1,] 5 4 3 3 2 2 1
#> [2,] 0 1 2 1 2 1 1
#> [3,] 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
#> [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
#> [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 1(each column is padded with zeros). Of course, larger integers have
many more partitions and in this case we can use
summary():
summary(parts(16))
#>
#> [1,] 16 15 14 14 13 13 13 12 12 12 ... 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1
#> [2,] 0 1 2 1 3 2 1 4 3 2 ... 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1
#> [3,] 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 2 ... 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1
#> [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 ... 1 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1
#> [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1
#> [6,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1
#> [7,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 2 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
#> [8,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
#> [9,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
#> [10,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
#> [11,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1
#> [12,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1
#> [13,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1
#> [14,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1
#> [15,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
#> [16,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Sometimes we want to find the unequal partitions (that is, partitions without repeats):
summary(diffparts(16))
#>
#> [1,] 16 15 14 13 13 12 12 11 11 11 ... 8 8 7 7 7 7 7 6 6 6
#> [2,] 0 1 2 3 2 4 3 5 4 3 ... 5 4 6 6 5 5 4 5 5 4
#> [3,] 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 2 ... 2 3 3 2 4 3 3 4 3 3
#> [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 1 0 1 0 1 2 1 2 2
#> [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1Sometimes we have restrictions on the partition. For example, to
enumerate the partitions of 9 into 5 parts we would use
restrictedparts():
summary(restrictedparts(9,5))
#>
#> [1,] 9 8 7 6 5 7 6 5 4 5 ... 5 4 4 3 3 5 4 3 3 2
#> [2,] 0 1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 2 ... 2 3 2 3 2 1 2 3 2 2
#> [3,] 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 ... 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 1 2 2
#> [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 2
#> [5,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1and if we want the partitions of 9 into parts not exceeding 5 we would use the conjugate of this:
summary(conjugate(restrictedparts(9,5)))
#>
#> [1,] 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 ... 4 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5
#> [2,] 1 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 3 ... 2 2 3 3 4 1 2 2 3 4
#> [3,] 1 1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2 1 ... 1 2 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 0
#> [4,] 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 1 ... 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0
#> [5,] 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 ... 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
#> [6,] 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
#> [7,] 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
#> [8,] 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
#> [9,] 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0Sometimes we have restrictions on each element of a partition and in
this case we would use blockparts():
summary(blockparts(1:6,10))
#>
#> [1,] 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 ... 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0
#> [2,] 2 2 2 1 2 2 2 1 2 2 ... 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0
#> [3,] 3 3 2 3 3 3 2 3 3 1 ... 2 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0
#> [4,] 4 3 4 4 4 2 3 3 3 4 ... 0 1 1 1 2 0 0 0 1 0
#> [5,] 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 ... 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4
#> [6,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ... 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6which would show all solutions to , .
Above we considered and to be the same partition, but if these are considered to be distinct, we need the compositions, not partitions:
compositions(4)
#>
#> [1,] 4 1 2 1 3 1 2 1
#> [2,] 0 3 2 1 1 2 1 1
#> [3,] 0 0 0 2 0 1 1 1
#> [4,] 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1A set of 4 elements, WLOG , may be partitioned into subsets in a number of
ways and these are enumerated with the setparts()
function:
setparts(4)
#>
#> [1,] 1 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 1
#> [2,] 1 1 1 2 1 2 1 2 2 1 2 1 1 3 2
#> [3,] 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 2 1 3 1 1 3
#> [4,] 1 1 2 1 1 1 2 2 1 3 3 1 3 1 4In the above, column 2 3 1 1 would correspond to the set
partition .
Knuth deals with multisets (that is, a generalization of the concept of set, in which elements may appear more than once) and gives an algorithm for enumerating a multiset. His simplest example is the permutations of :
multiset(c(1,2,2,3))
#>
#> [1,] 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3
#> [2,] 2 2 3 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 2 2
#> [3,] 2 3 2 2 3 1 3 1 2 2 1 2
#> [4,] 3 2 2 3 2 3 1 2 1 2 2 1It is possible to answer questions such as the permutations of the word “pepper”:
library("magrittr")
"pepper" %>%
strsplit("") %>%
unlist %>%
match(letters) %>%
multiset %>%
apply(2,function(x){x %>% `[`(letters,.) %>% paste(collapse="")})
#> [1] "eepppr" "eepprp" "eeprpp" "eerppp" "epeppr" "epeprp" "eperpp" "eppepr"
#> [9] "epperp" "eppper" "epppre" "epprep" "epprpe" "eprepp" "eprpep" "eprppe"
#> [17] "ereppp" "erpepp" "erppep" "erpppe" "peeppr" "peeprp" "peerpp" "pepepr"
#> [25] "peperp" "pepper" "peppre" "peprep" "peprpe" "perepp" "perpep" "perppe"
#> [33] "ppeepr" "ppeerp" "ppeper" "ppepre" "pperep" "pperpe" "pppeer" "pppere"
#> [41] "pppree" "ppreep" "pprepe" "pprpee" "preepp" "prepep" "preppe" "prpeep"
#> [49] "prpepe" "prppee" "reeppp" "repepp" "reppep" "repppe" "rpeepp" "rpepep"
#> [57] "rpeppe" "rppeep" "rppepe" "rpppee"A riffle shuffle is an ordering of
integers such that and appear in their original order: if , then , and if , then . The two groups of integers
appear in their original order. To enumerate all
riffles, use riffle():
riffle(2,4)
#>
#> [1,] 1 1 1 1 1 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3
#> [2,] 2 3 3 3 3 1 1 1 1 4 4 4 4 4 4

#> [6,] 6 6 6 6 2 6 6 6 2 6 6 2 6 2 2To enumerate all riffles with sizes , use genrif():
genrif(1:3)
