identity permutation
1Permutation — For other uses, see Permutation (disambiguation). The 6 permutations of 3 balls In mathematics, the notion of permutation is used with several slightly different meanings, all related to the act of permuting (rearranging) objects or values.… …
2Permutation matrix — In mathematics, in matrix theory, a permutation matrix is a square (0,1) matrix that has exactly one entry 1 in each row and each column and 0 s elsewhere. Each such matrix represents a specific permutation of m elements and, when used to… …
3Permutation group — In mathematics, a permutation group is a group G whose elements are permutations of a given set M , and whose group operation is the composition of permutations in G (which are thought of as bijective functions from the set M to itself); the… …
4Identity (mathematics) — For other uses, see Identity (disambiguation). In mathematics, the term identity has several different important meanings: An identity is a relation which is tautologically true. This means that whatever the number or value may be, the answer… …
5Identity (music) — In music, identity is similar to identity in universal algebra. An identity function is a permutation or transformation which transforms a pitch or pitch class set into itself. For instance, inverting an augmented triad or C4 interval cycle, 048 …
6Parity of a permutation — Permutations of 4 elements Odd permutations have a green or orange background. The numbers in the right column are the inversion numbers (sequence …
7Random permutation statistics — The statistics of random permutations, such as the cycle structure of a random permutation are of fundamental importance in the analysis of algorithms, especially of sorting algorithms, which operate on random permutations. Suppose, for example,… …
8Random permutation — A random permutation is a random ordering of a set of objects, that is, a permutation valued random variable. The use of random permutations is often fundamental to fields that use randomized algorithms. Such fields include coding theory,… …
9Determinant — This article is about determinants in mathematics. For determinants in epidemiology, see Risk factor. In linear algebra, the determinant is a value associated with a square matrix. It can be computed from the entries of the matrix by a specific… …
10Cayley's theorem — In group theory, Cayley s theorem, named in honor of Arthur Cayley, states that every group G is isomorphic to a subgroup of the symmetric group on G . This can be understood as an example of the group action of G on the elements of G .A… …
