7 Some Permutation Essentials

In this chapter we mention a couple functions that are fairly basic but useful tools to work with.

7.1 Complement

7.1-1 PermComplement
‣ PermComplement( perm )( function )

Returns: The permutation that is the complement of perm.

The complement of a permutation \(\tau=\tau_{1}\ldots\tau_{n}\) is the permutation

\[\tau^{C}=(n+1)-\tau_{1}\ \ (n+1)-\tau_{2}\ldots (n+1)-\tau_{n}\]

.

gap> PermComplement([3,2,8,6,7,1,5,4]);
[ 6, 7, 1, 3, 2, 8, 4, 5 ]
gap> 

7.2 Rank Encoding

7.2-1 IsRankEncoding
‣ IsRankEncoding( perm )( function )

Returns: true if perm is a valid rank encoding of a permutation.

IsRankEncoding checkes whether the input list perm is a valid rank encoding by checking whether it is accepted by the bounded class automaton, with the highest rank being set by the highest element in perm.

gap> IsRankEncoding([3,2,6,4,4,1,2,1]);
true
gap> IsRankEncoding([3,2,6,4,5,1,2,1]);
false
gap>
