<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 577211 by <a href="/recipes/users/2667360/">Anton Vredegoor</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/combinatorics/">combinatorics</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/partition/">partition</a>). </p> <p>Sets of only a few items already have many ways they can be partitioned into subsets. Therefore it can be useful to generate these partitions by index, like the partition class were some large list where one can just access element "i". Of course one should not compute the whole list in advance but compute the partitions on the fly. This recipe was originally extracted form a book by Kreher and Stinson. Over the years I came back to my code from time to time creating a new and hopefully more pythonic version each time I understood it better. My current take on it is that the algorithm looks a lot like creating a Pascals triangle in order to compute combinations. One just tries to find a way down the triangle to a specific element, each time subtracting the amounts the different positions in the triangle account for. It is also similar to finding indexed permutations of a set with elements occurring more than once. One of these days I will perhaps understand how all of this fits together. Until then I'll post code solving specific situations. </p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 496724 by <a href="/recipes/users/2667360/">Anton Vredegoor</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/algorithms/">algorithms</a>). Revision 4. </p> <p>While I have seen many permutation recipes on this site, there seems to be no recipe yet which shows how to generate the permutations of a "bag". A bag is like a set but can contain elements more than once.</p>

<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 452502 by <a href="/recipes/users/2667360/">Anton Vredegoor</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/algorithms/">algorithms</a>). Revision 2. </p> <p>This is inspired by Raymond Hettingers recipe for sets, using sorted lists. However here I'm not sorting the original list but just the indices and the sets share a common universe. This code is not for production use, I just show it in order to explain what I want to do.</p>
