Combinatorics: terminology for permutations and combinations

485 Views Asked by At

I find it very difficult to understand the correct translation of these terms. So far I know this (translation Italian - English) given $n$ number of items and $k$ number of groups:

  • Combinazioni (it) = Combinations (en)

Here the order doesn't matter and we calculate the result with $$\frac{n!}{ k!(n-k)!}$$ In the case of no repeated items, instead we use $$\frac{(n+k-1)!}{k!(n-1)!}$$


So far so good but now I have trouble with permutations. My Italian probability university book gives me these $2$ definitions:

  • Permutazioni (it) = Permutations (en)

Here the order is important and $n \neq k$. We use $n!$ when there aren't repeated items and $$\frac{n!}{x_1!x_2!x_3!\ldots x_k!}$$ when there are repetitions.

  • Disposizioni (it) = ??? (en)

I have googled this a lot but I cannot find a proper translation. Here the order is important and $n = k$. We use $$\frac{n!}{(n-k)!}$$ when there aren't repeated items and $n^k$ when there are repetitions.

Is there a proper translation for this?


Note: from my researches I have seen that they are repetitions as well and there isn't a proper definition. My sources aren't a lot but I see this:

I have made a C++ app that involves combinatorics so I need to give a name at the "Disposizioni" group. Any help?

Combinations or $k$-Combinations: The number of ways of making an unordered selection of $k$ objects from a set of $n$ objects. Alternatively, the number of $k$-element subsets of an $n$ element set.

$$\binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{k!(n - k)!}$$

Combinations with repetition: The number of ways of making an unordered selection of $k$ objects from a set of $n$ types of objects when repetition is permitted.

$$\binom{k + n - 1}{n - 1}$$

The formula you gave is the number of solutions of the Diophantine equation $$x_1 + x_2 + x_3 + \cdots + x_n = k$$ in the nonnegative integers.

Permutations: The number of ways of arranging $n$ distinct objects in order.

$$n!$$

The expression $n!$ is read "$n$ factorial''.

Permutations of a multiset: Given a multiset $$\{n_1 \cdot x_1, n_2 \cdot x_2, n_3 \cdot x_3, \ldots, n_k \cdot x_k\}$$ where $n_j$ is the multiplicity of the element $x_j$, $1 \leq j \leq k$, and $n = n_1 + n_2 + n_3 + \cdots + n_k$ is the number of elements in the multiset, the number of distinguishable arrangements of the objects in the multiset is
$$\binom{n}{n_1, n_2, n_3, \ldots, n_k} = \frac{n!}{n_1!n_2!n_3! \ldots n_k!}$$

Permutations or $k$-Permutations: The number of ways of making an ordered selection of $k$ objects selected from a set of $n$ objects.

$$P(n, k) = \frac{n!}{(n -k)!}$$

Note that $P(n, n) = n!$.

Permutations with repetition: The number of ways of sequences of length $k$ that be formed from a set with $n$ elements when repetition is permitted.

$$n^k$$
