Academic literature on the topic 'Permutation'

Groups naturally occu as the symmetries of an object. This is why they appear in so many different areas of mathematics. For example we find class grops in number theory, fundamental groups in topology, and amenable groups in analysis. In this thesis we will use techniques and approaches from various fields in order to study groups. This is a 'three paper' thesis, meaning that the main body of the document is made up of three papers. The first two of these look at permutation groups which contain all permutations with finite support, the first focussing on decision problems and the second on the R? property (which involves counting the number of twisting conjugacy classes in a group). The third works with wreath products C}Z where C is cyclic, and looks to dermine the probability of choosing two elements in a group which commute (known as the degree of commutativity, a topic which has been studied for finite groups intensely but at the time of writing this thesis has only two papers involving infinite groups, one of which is in this thesis).

Cette thèse s'intéresse au problème de la recherche de motif dans les permutations, qui a pour objectif de savoir si un motif apparaît dans un texte, en prenant en compte que le motif et le texte sont des permutations. C'est-à-dire s'il existe des éléments du texte tel que ces éléments sont triés de la même manière et apparaissent dans le même ordre que les éléments du motif. Ce problème est NP complet. Cette thèse expose des cas particuliers de ce problème qui sont solvable en temps polynomial.Pour cela nous étudions le problème en donnant des contraintes sur le texte et/ou le motif. En particulier, le cas où le texte et/ou le motif sont des permutations qui ne contiennent pas les motifs 2413 et 3142 (appelé permutation séparable) et le cas où le texte et/ou le motif sont des permutations qui ne contiennent pas les motifs 213 et 231 sont considérés. Des problèmes dérivés de la recherche de motif et le problème de la recherche de motif bivinculaire sont aussi étudiés<br>This thesis focuses on permutation pattern matching problem, which askswhether a pattern occurs in a text where both the pattern and text are permutations.In other words, we seek to determine whether there exist elements ofthe text such that they are sorted and appear in the same order as the elementsof the pattern. The problem is NP-complete. This thesis examines particularcases of the problem that are polynomial-time solvable.For this purpose, we study the problem by giving constraints on the permutationstext and/or pattern. In particular, the cases in which the text and/orpattern are permutations in which the patterns 2413 and 3142 do not occur(also known as separable permutations) and in which the text and/or patternare permutations in which the patterns 213 and 231 do not occur (also known aswedge permutations) are also considered. Some problems related to the patternmatching and the permutation pattern matching with bivincular pattern arealso studied

Eulerian quasisymmetric functions were introduced by Shareshian and Wachs in order to obtain a q-analog of Euler's exponential generating function formula for the Eulerian polynomials. They are defined via the symmetric group, and applying the stable and nonstable principal specializations yields formulas for joint distributions of permutation statistics. We consider the wreath product of the cyclic group with the symmetric group, also known as the group of colored permutations. We use this group to introduce colored Eulerian quasisymmetric functions, which are a generalization of Eulerian quasisymmetric functions. We derive a formula for the generating function of these colored Eulerian quasisymmetric functions, which reduces to a formula of Shareshian and Wachs for the Eulerian quasisymmetric functions. We show that applying the stable and nonstable principal specializations yields formulas for joint distributions of colored permutation statistics. The family of colored permutation groups includes the family of symmetric groups and the family of hyperoctahedral groups, also called the type A Coxeter groups and type B Coxeter groups, respectively. By specializing our formulas to these cases, they reduce to the Shareshian-Wachs q-analog of Euler's formula, formulas of Foata and Han, and a new generalization of a formula of Chow and Gessel.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR<br>Em um sistema de comunicações, procura-se representar a informação gerada de forma eficiente, de modo que a redundância da informação seja reduzida ou idealmente eliminada, com o propósito de armazenamento e/ou transmissão da mesma. Este interesse justifica portanto, o estudo e desenvolvimento de técnicas de compressão que vem sendo realizado ao longo dos anos. Este trabalho de pesquisa investiga o uso de códigos de permutação para codificação de fontes segundo um critério de fidelidade, mais especificamente de fontes sem memória, caracterizadas por uma distribuição uniforme e critério de distorção de erro médio quadrático. Examina-se os códigos de permutação sob a ótica de fontes compostas e a partir desta perspectiva, apresenta-se um esquema de compressão com duplo estágio. Realiza-se então uma análise desse esquema de codificação. Faz-se também uma extensão L- dimensional (L > 1) do esquema de permutação apresentado na literatura. Os resultados obtidos comprovam um melhor desempenho da versão em duas dimensões, quando comparada ao caso unidimensional, sendo esta a principal contribuição do presente trabalho. A partir desses resultados, busca-se a aplicação de um esquema que utiliza códigos de permutação para a compressão de imagens.<br>In communications systems the information must be represented in an efficient form, in such a way that the redundancy of the information is either reduced or ideally eliminated, with the intention of storage or transmission of the same one. This interest justifies the study and development of compression techniques that have been realized through the years. This research investigates the use of permutation codes for source encoding with a fidelity criterion, more specifically of memoryless uniform sources with mean square error fidelity criterion. We examine the permutation codes under the view of composed sources and from this perspective, a project of double stage source encoder is presented. An analysis of this project of codification is realized then. A L-dimensional extension (L > 1) of permutation codes from previous research is also introduced. The results prove a better performance of the version in two dimensions, when compared with the unidimensional case and this is the main contribution of the present study. From these results, we investigate an application for permutation codes in image compression.
