Detailed Description

Represents a permutation of {0,1}.

This is a specialisation of the generic Perm template: it is highly optimised, but also somewhat trivial (since there are only two possible permutations). It is provided simply to optimise the general Perm<n> template for this trivial case.

As with all Perm template classes, these objects are small enough to pass by value and swap with std::swap(), with no need for any specialised move operations or swap functions. Moreover, Perm<2> in particular is extremely fast to work with.

Each permutation has an internal code, which is a single native integer that is sufficient to reconstruct the permutation. Thus the internal code may be a useful means for passing permutation objects to and from the engine. For Perm<2>, the internal code is 0 for the identity permutation, or 1 for the (unique) non-identity permutation. This is consistent with the second-generation codes used in classes Perm<4>,...,Perm<7>.

To use this class, simply include the main permutation header maths/perm.h.

Warning: Every permutation class Perm<n> provides a transposition (i.e., pair swap) constructor Perm<n>(a,b). In addition, the specialised classes Perm<3>, Perm<4> and Perm<5> provide "list of images" constructors Perm<3>(a,b,c), Perm<4>(a,b,c,d) and Perm<5>(a,b,c,d,e). For Perm<2>, these two constructors would be indistinguishable (since both would take two integer arguments). Here Perm<2> takes an approach that is consistent with the generic Perm<n> class: Perm<2>(a,b) is interpreted as the transposition of a and b. In particular, Perm(0,1) is not the identity permutation.

Python: Since Python does not support templates, this class is made available under the name Perm2.

inlineconstexpr

Determines if this appears earlier than the given permutation in the array Perm<2>::Sn.

Perm< 2 > regina::Perm< 2 >::rand ( bool even = false )

inlinestatic

Returns a random permutation on two elements.

All permutations are returned with equal probability.

This routine is thread-safe, and uses RandomEngine for its random number generation.

Warning: This routine is expensive, since it locks and unlocks the mutex protecting Regina's global uniform random bit generator. If you are calling this many times in quick succession, consider creating a single RandomEngine object yourself and then calling rand(randomEngine.engine(), even).

Parameters

even	if `true`, then the resulting permutation is guaranteed to be even (which means, for a permutation on two elements, the resulting permutation must be the identity).

Returns: a random permutation.

◆ rand() [2/2]

template<class URBG >

static Perm regina::Perm< 2 >::rand	(	URBG &&	gen,
		bool	even = `false`
	)

static

Returns a random permutation on two elements, using the given uniform random bit generator.

All permutations are returned with equal probability.

The thread safety of this routine is of course dependent on the thread safety of your uniform random bit generator gen.

Template Parameters

URBG	A type which, once any references are removed, must adhere to the C++ UniformRandomBitGenerator concept.

Python: Not present, though the non-thread-safe variant without the gen argument is available.

Parameters

gen	the source of randomness to use (e.g., one of the many options provided in the C++ standard `random` header).
even	if `true`, then the resulting permutation is guaranteed to be even (which means, for a permutation on two elements, the resulting permutation must be the identity).

Returns: a random permutation.

◆ reverse()

constexpr Perm< 2 > regina::Perm< 2 >::reverse ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Finds the reverse of this permutation.

Here reverse means that we reverse the images of 0 and 1. In other words, if permutation q is the reverse of p, then p[i] == q[1 - i] for all i.

◆ rot()

constexpr Perm< 2 > regina::Perm< 2 >::rot ( int i )

inlinestaticconstexpr

Returns the ith rotation.

This maps k to k + i (mod 2) for all k.

Returns: the ith rotation.

◆ S2Index()

This is a dimension-specific alias for SnIndex().

See Sn for further information on how these permutations are indexed.

Precondition: the given code is a valid permutation code; see isPermCode() for details.

Parameters

code	the internal code that will determine the new value of this permutation.

◆ sign()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 2 >::sign ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Determines the sign of this permutation.

Returns: 1 if this permutation is even, or -1 if this permutation is odd.

◆ SnIndex()

constexpr Perm< 2 >::Index regina::Perm< 2 >::SnIndex ( ) const

inlineconstexpr

Returns the index of this permutation in the Perm<2>::Sn array.

See Sn for further information on how these permutations are indexed.

Returns: the index i for which this permutation is equal to Perm<2>::Sn[i]. This will be 0 or 1.

◆ str()

std::string regina::Perm< 2 >::str ( ) const

inline

Returns a string representation of this permutation.

The representation will consist of two adjacent digits representing the images of 0 and 1 respectively. An example of a string representation is 10.

Returns: a string representation of this permutation.

◆ trunc()

std::string regina::Perm< 2 >::trunc ( unsigned len ) const

inline

Returns a prefix of the string representation of this permutation, containing only the images of the first len integers.

Parameters

len	the length of the prefix required; this must be between 0 and 2 inclusive.

Returns: the corresponding prefix of the string representation of this permutation.

Member Data Documentation

◆ code_

Code regina::Perm< 2 >::code_

protected

The internal code representing this permutation.

◆ codeType

constexpr PermCodeType regina::Perm< 2 >::codeType = PERM_CODE_INDEX

staticconstexpr

Indicates what type of internal permutation code is used by this instance of the Perm class template.

◆ nPerms

constexpr Index regina::Perm< 2 >::nPerms = 2

staticconstexpr

The total number of permutations on two elements.

This is the size of the array Sn.

◆ nPerms_1

constexpr Index regina::Perm< 2 >::nPerms_1 = 1

staticconstexpr

The total number of permutations on one element.

This is the size of the array Sn_1.

◆ orderedS2

constexpr S2Lookup regina::Perm< 2 >::orderedS2 {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of two elements in lexicographical order.

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<2>::orderedSn; see that member for further information. In general, for every n there will be a static member Perm<n>::orderedSn; however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::orderedS2, ..., Perm<5>::orderedS5 are only available for small n.

◆ orderedSn

constexpr S2Lookup regina::Perm< 2 >::orderedSn {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of two elements in lexicographical order.

To access the permutation at index i, you simply use the square bracket operator: orderedSn[i]. The index i must be between 0 and 1 inclusive.

Lexicographical ordering treats each permutation p as the ordered pair (p[0], p[1]). Therefore the identity permutation has index 0, and the (unique) non-identity permutation has index 1.

In Regina 6.0.1 and earlier, this was a hard-coded C-style array; since Regina 7.0 it has changed type, but accessing elements as described above remains extremely fast. The object that is returned is lightweight and is defined in the headers only; in particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but you can always make a copy).

This ordered array is identical to Perm<2>::Sn. Note however that for n ≥ 3, the arrays Perm<n>::Sn and Perm<n>::orderedSn are different: Sn alternates between even and odd permutations, whereas orderedSn stores permutations in lexicographical order.

◆ S1

constexpr S2Lookup regina::Perm< 2 >::S1 {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of one element.

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<2>::Sn_1; see that member for further information.

◆ S2

constexpr S2Lookup regina::Perm< 2 >::S2 {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of two elements.

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<2>::Sn; see that member for further information. In general, for every n there will be a static member Perm<n>::Sn; however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::S2, ..., Perm<5>::S5 are only available for small n.

Note that all small permutation classes (Perm<2>, ..., Perm<5>) have an S2 array: these all store the same two permutations in the same order (but of course using different data types).

◆ Sn

constexpr S2Lookup regina::Perm< 2 >::Sn {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of two elements.

To access the permutation at index i, you simply use the square bracket operator: Sn[i]. The index i must be between 0 and 1 inclusive.

In Regina 6.0.1 and earlier, this was a hard-coded C-style array; since Regina 7.0 it has changed type, but accessing elements as described above remains extremely fast. The object that is returned is lightweight and is defined in the headers only; in particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but you can always make a copy).

The identity permutation has index 0, and the non-identity permutation has index 1. As a result, Sn[i] is an even permutation if and only if i is even.

This ordered array is identical to Perm<2>::orderedSn. Note however that for n ≥ 3, the arrays Perm<n>::Sn and Perm<n>::orderedSn are different: Sn alternates between even and odd permutations, whereas orderedSn stores permutations in lexicographical order.

◆ Sn_1

constexpr S2Lookup regina::Perm< 2 >::Sn_1 {}

staticconstexpr

Gives array-like access to all possible permutations of one element.

Of course, this array is trivial: it contains just the identity permutation. This array is provided for consistency with larger permutation classes Perm<n>.

To access the permutation at index i, you simply use the square bracket operator: Sn_1[i]. The index i must be 0.

In Regina 6.0.1 and earlier, this was a hard-coded C-style array; since Regina 7.0 it has changed type, but accessing elements as described above remains extremely fast. The object that is returned is lightweight and is defined in the headers only; in particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but you can always make a copy).
