Detailed Description

Represents a permutation of {0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.

This is a specialisation of the generic Perm template: it is highly optimised, and also offers some additional functionality. Amongst other things, this permutation class is used to specify how simplices of a 6-dimensional triangulation are glued together.

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.

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<7>, the internal permutation codes have changed as of Regina 7.0:

It is highly recommended that, if you need to work with permutation codes at all, you use second-generation codes where possible. This is because the first-generation routines incur additional overhead in converting back and forth between the second-generation codes (which are used internally by Perm<7>).

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

Python
Since Python does not support templates, this class is made available under the name Perm7.

Member Function Documentation

◆ cachedComp() [1/2]

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::cachedComp ( const Perm< 7 > &  q) const
inline

Returns the composition of this and the given permutation, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedComp() is a single table lookup, whereas the * operator requires significant computational overhead.

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup table will consume roughly 50MB of memory for the lifetime of your program.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling (*this) * q.

Precondition
You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedComp(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.
Parameters
qthe permutation to compose this with.
Returns
the composition of both permutations.

◆ cachedComp() [2/2]

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::cachedComp ( const Perm< 7 > &  q,
const Perm< 7 > &  r 
) const
inline

Deprecated function that performs two compositions using fast precomputed lookup tables.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling (*this) * q * r.

Deprecated:
The three-way cachedComp() was originally written to support conjugation. If you are indeed conjugating, then call cachedConjugate() instead; otherwise just call the two-way cachedComp() twice.
Precondition
You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedComp(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.
Parameters
qthe first permutation to compose this with.
rthe second permutation to compose this with.
Returns
the composition of both permutations.

◆ cachedConjugate()

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::cachedConjugate ( const Perm< 7 > &  q) const
inline

Computes the conjugate of this permutation by q, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedConjugate() is just three table lookups, whereas conjugate() requires significant computational overhead.

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup table will consume roughly 50MB of memory for the lifetime of your program.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling conjugate().

Precondition
You must have called precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before calling cachedConjugate(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.
Parameters
qthe permutation to conjugate this by.
Returns
the conjugate of this permutation by q.

◆ cachedInverse()

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::cachedInverse ( ) const
inline

An alias for inverse(), provided to assist with writing generic code.

This specialised Perm<7> class does not use precomputation to compute inverses. The only point of having cachedInverse() in Perm<7> is to make it easier to write generic code that works with Perm<n> for any n.

  • If you know you are only working with Perm<7>, you should just call inverse() instead.
  • If you are writing generic code, you must remember to call precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedInverse().
Precondition
You must have called precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before calling cachedInverse(). For Perm<7>, precompute() does not affect inverse computations; however, for other Perm<n> classes a failure to do this will almost certainly crash your program.
Returns
the inverse of this permutation.

◆ cachedOrder()

int regina::Perm< 7 >::cachedOrder ( ) const
inline

Returns the order of this permutation, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

In other words; this routine returns the smallest positive integer k for which the kth power of this permutation is the identity.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedOrder() removes most of the computational overhead required by order().

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup tables will consume roughly 50MB of memory for the lifetime of your program. Note that these are the same lookup tables used by cachedComp() and cachedPow(), so if you are already using cachedComp() or cachedPow() then there is no extra cost for using this routine also.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling order().

Precondition
You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedOrder(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.
Returns
the order of this permutation.

◆ cachedPow()

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::cachedPow ( long  exp) const
inline

Computes the given power of this permutation, using fast precomputed lookup tables.

This routine runs in constant time.

The advantage of this routine is speed: calling cachedPow() removes most of the significant computational overhead required by pow().

The disadvantages of this routine are that (1) you must remember to call precompute() in advance, and (2) the resulting lookup tables will consume roughly 50MB of memory for the lifetime of your program. Note that these are the same lookup tables used by cachedComp() and cachedOrder(), so if you are already using cachedComp() or cachedOrder() then there is no extra cost for using this routine also.

The permutation that is returned is the same as you would obtain by calling pow(exp).

Precondition
You must have called the routine precompute() at least once in the lifetime of this program before using cachedPow(). Otherwise this routine will almost certainly crash your program.
Parameters
expthe exponent; this may be positive, zero or negative.
Returns
this permutation raised to the power of exp.

◆ clear()

void regina::Perm< 7 >::clear ( unsigned  from)

Resets the images of all integers from from onwards to the identity map.

Specifically, for each i in the range from,...,6, this routine will ensure that image[i] == i. The images of 0,1,...,from-1 will not be altered.

Precondition
The images of from,...,6 are exactly from,...,6, but possibly in a different order.
Parameters
fromthe first integer whose image should be reset. This must be between 0 and 7 inclusive.

◆ compareWith()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 7 >::compareWith ( const Perm< 7 > &  other) const
inlineconstexpr

Lexicographically compares the images of (0,1,2,3,4,5,6) under this and the given permutation.

Note that this does not yield the same ordering of permutations as used by the less-than and increment operators. Moreover, compareWith() is slower than the less-than operator to compute.

Parameters
otherthe permutation with which to compare this.
Returns
-1 if this permutation produces a smaller image, 0 if the permutations are equal and 1 if this permutation produces a greater image.

◆ conjugate()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::conjugate ( const Perm< 7 > &  q) const
inlineconstexpr

Computes the conjugate of this permutation by q.

Specifically, calling p.conjugate(q) is equivalent to computing q * p * q.inverse(). The resulting permutation will have the same cycle structure as p, but with the cycle elements translated according to q.

For permutations of five and fewer objects, conjugation is extremely fast because it uses hard-coded lookup tables. However, for Perm<7> these tables would grow too large, and so instead this routine involves significant computational overhead.

If you do need conjugation to be as fast as possible, with no computation required at all, then you can:

  • call precompute() to precompute a full 5040-by-5040 product table in advance (this will consume roughly 50MB of memory); and then
  • call cachedConjugate() instead of conjugate() to compute your conjugations.
Parameters
qthe permutation to conjugate this by.
Returns
the conjugate of this permutation by q.

◆ contract()

template<int k>
static constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::contract ( Perm< k >  p)
staticconstexpr

Restricts a k-element permutation to a 7-element permutation, where k > 7.

The resulting permutation will map 0,...,6 to their respective images under p, and will ignore the "unused" images p[7],...,p[k-1].

Precondition
The given permutation maps 0,...,6 to 0,...,6 in some order.
Template Parameters
kthe number of elements for the input permutation; this must be strictly greater than 7.
Parameters
pa permutation on k elements.
Returns
the same permutation restricted to a permutation on 7 elements.

◆ extend()

template<int k>
static constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::extend ( Perm< k >  p)
staticconstexpr

Extends a k-element permutation to a 7-element permutation, where 2 ≤ k < 7.

The resulting permutation will map 0,...,k-1 to their respective images under p, and will map the "unused" elements k,...,6 to themselves.

Template Parameters
kthe number of elements for the input permutation; this must be 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
Parameters
pa permutation on k elements.
Returns
the same permutation expressed as a permutation on seven elements.

◆ fromImagePack()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::fromImagePack ( ImagePack  pack)
inlinestaticconstexpr

Creates a permutation from the given image pack.

See the class notes for more information on image packs, and how they are used to build the old first-generation permutation codes.

codethe first-generation code for the new permutation.
Returns
the permutation represented by the given code.

◆ fromPermCode2()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::fromPermCode2 ( Code2  code)
inlinestaticconstexpr

Creates a permutation from the given second-generation permutation code.

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<7> class.

Returns
the permutation represented by the given code.

constexpr Perm< 7 >::ImagePack regina::Perm< 7 >::imagePack ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns
the image pack for this permutation.

◆ inverse()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::inverse ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Finds the inverse of this permutation.

Returns
the inverse of this permutation.

◆ isConjugacyMinimal()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::isConjugacyMinimal ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Is this permutation minimal in its conjugacy class?

Here "minimal" means that, amongst all its conjugates, this permutation has the smallest index in the array Perm<7>::Sn.

See Sn for further information on how permutations are indexed.

This routine is extremely fast for Perm<7>, since it essentially uses a hard-coded lookup table.

Returns
true if and only if this permutation is minimal in its conjugacy class.

◆ isIdentity()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::isIdentity ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Determines if this is the identity permutation.

This is true if and only if each of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 is mapped to itself.

Returns
true if and only if this is the identity permutation.

◆ isImagePack()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::isImagePack ( ImagePack  pack)
inlinestaticconstexpr

Determines whether the given argument is the image pack of some 7-element permutation.

See the class notes for more information on image packs, and how they are used to build the old first-generation permutation codes.

For Perm<7>, this routine is identical to isPermCode1().

Parameters
packthe candidate image pack to test.
Returns
true if and only if pack is a valid image pack.

◆ isPermCode1()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::isPermCode1 ( Code1  code)
inlinestaticconstexpr

Determines whether the given character is a valid first-generation permutation code.

Valid first-generation codes can be passed to setPermCode1() or fromPermCode1(), and are returned by permCode1().

Parameters
codethe permutation code to test.
Returns
true if and only if the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code.

◆ isPermCode2()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::isPermCode2 ( Code2  code)
inlinestaticconstexpr

Determines whether the given character is a valid second-generation permutation code.

If this permutation is p, the resulting permutation will be pq, and will satisfy (p*q)[x] == p[q[x]].

For permutations of five and fewer objects, composition is extremely fast because it uses hard-coded lookup tables. However, for Perm<7> these tables would grow too large, and so instead this routine involves significant computational overhead.

If you are going to make significant use of the Perm<7> class, you should instead:

  • call precompute() to precompute a full 5040-by-5040 lookup table in advance (this will consume roughly 50MB of memory); and then
  • call cachedComp() instead of the * operator to compute your compositions.
Parameters
qthe permutation to compose this with.
Returns
the composition of both permutations.

◆ operator++() [1/2]

Perm< 7 > & regina::Perm< 7 >::operator++ ( )
inline

A preincrement operator that changes this to be the next permutation in the array Perm<7>::Sn.

If this is the last such permutation then this will wrap around to become the first permutation in Perm<7>::Sn, which is the identity.

Python
Not present. The postincrement operator is present in Python as the member function inc().
Returns
a reference to this permutation after the increment.

◆ operator++() [2/2]

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::operator++ ( int  )
inlineconstexpr

A postincrement operator that changes this to be the next permutation in the array Perm<7>::Sn.

If this is the last such permutation then this will wrap around to become the first permutation in Perm<7>::Sn, which is the identity.

Python
This routine is named inc() since python does not support the increment operator.
Returns
a copy of this permutation before the increment took place.

◆ operator<()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::operator< ( const Perm< 7 > &  rhs) const
inlineconstexpr

Determines if this appears earlier than the given permutation in the array Perm<7>::Sn.

Note that this is not the same ordering of permutations as the ordering implied by compareWith(). This is, however, consistent with the ordering implied by the ++ operators, and this order is also faster to compute than compareWith().

Parameters
rhsthe permutation to compare this against.
Returns
true if and only if this appears before rhs in Sn.

◆ operator=()

Perm< 7 > & regina::Perm< 7 >::operator= ( const Perm< 7 > &  cloneMe)
default

Sets this permutation to be equal to the given permutation.

Parameters
cloneMethe permutation whose value will be assigned to this permutation.
Returns
a reference to this permutation.

◆ operator==()

constexpr bool regina::Perm< 7 >::operator== ( const Perm< 7 > &  other) const
inlineconstexpr

Determines if this is equal to the given permutation.

This is true if and only if both permutations have the same images for 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

Parameters
otherthe permutation with which to compare this.
Returns
true if and only if this and the given permutation are equal.

◆ operator[]()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 7 >::operator[] ( int  source) const
inlineconstexpr

Determines the image of the given integer under this permutation.

Parameters
sourcethe integer whose image we wish to find. This should be between 0 and 6 inclusive.
Returns
the image of source.

◆ order()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 7 >::order ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the order of this permutation.

In other words; this routine returns the smallest positive integer k for which the kth power of this permutation is the identity.

Unlike the smaller permutation classes, Perm<7>::order() does not use precomputed tables; instead it computes orders on the fly. If you need your order computation to be faster, you can instead:

  • call precompute() to precompute a full table of orders in advance (though this will also compute the much larger 5040-by-5040 table of products, which consumes roughly 50MB of memory); and then
  • call cachedOrder() instead of order(), which will now become a fast table lookup.
Returns
the order of this permutation.

◆ orderedS7Index()

constexpr Perm< 7 >::Index regina::Perm< 7 >::orderedS7Index ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the lexicographical index of this permutation.

This will be the index of this permutation in the Perm<7>::orderedSn array.

This is a dimension-specific alias for orderedSnIndex(). In general, for every n there will be a member function Perm<n>::orderedSnIndex(); however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::orderedS2Index(), ..., Perm<7>::orderedS7Index() are only available for small n.

See orderedSn for further information on lexicographical ordering.

Returns
the lexicographical index of this permutation. This will be between 0 and 5039 inclusive.

◆ orderedSnIndex()

constexpr Perm< 7 >::Index regina::Perm< 7 >::orderedSnIndex ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the lexicographical index of this permutation.

This will be the index of this permutation in the Perm<7>::orderedSn array.

See orderedSn for further information on lexicographical ordering.

Returns
the lexicographical index of this permutation. This will be between 0 and 5039 inclusive.

◆ permCode1()

constexpr Perm< 7 >::Code1 regina::Perm< 7 >::permCode1 ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the first-generation code representing this permutation.

This code is sufficient to reproduce the entire permutation.

The code returned will be a valid first-generation permutation code as determined by isPermCode1().

Warning
This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<7> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine isPermCode2() for details.
Returns
the first-generation permutation code.

◆ permCode2()

constexpr Perm< 7 >::Code2 regina::Perm< 7 >::permCode2 ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the second-generation code representing this permutation.

This code is sufficient to reproduce the entire permutation.

The code returned will be a valid second-generation permutation code as determined by isPermCode2().

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<7> class.

Returns
the second-generation permutation code.

◆ pow()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::pow ( long  exp) const
inlineconstexpr

Computes the given power of this permutation.

This routine runs in constant time.

For Perm<7>, this routine makes use of the composition operator *, which involves significant computational overhead. If you need your powers to be fast, you can instead:

  • call precompute() to precompute a full 5040-by-5040 product table in advance (this will consume roughly 50MB of memory); and then
  • call cachedPow() instead of pow() to make full use of this table, which will remove most of the overhead from this routine.
Parameters
expthe exponent; this may be positive, zero or negative.
Returns
this permutation raised to the power of exp.

◆ pre()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 7 >::pre ( int  image) const
inlineconstexpr

Determines the preimage of the given integer under this permutation.

Parameters
imagethe integer whose preimage we wish to find. This should be between 0 and 6 inclusive.
Returns
the preimage of image.

◆ precompute()

static void regina::Perm< 7 >::precompute ( )
static

Performs the precomputation necessary for using the optimised cachedComp(), cachedPow() and cachedOrder() routines.

This must be called before calling any of cachedComp(), cachedPow() or cachedOrder().

This only needs to be done once in the lifetime of the program. If you do try to call precompute() a second time then it will do nothing and return immediately.

This routine is thread-safe.

◆ rand() [1/2]

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::rand ( bool  even = false)
inlinestatic

Returns a random permutation on seven 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
evenif true, then the resulting permutation is guaranteed to be even (and again all even permutations are returned with equal probability).
Returns
a random permutation.

◆ rand() [2/2]

template<class URBG >
static Perm regina::Perm< 7 >::rand ( URBG &&  gen,
bool  even = false 
)
static

Returns a random permutation on seven 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
URBGA type which, once any references are removed, must adhere to the C++ UniformRandomBitGenerator concept.
Python
Not present. Python users are still able to use the non-thread-safe variant without the gen argument.
Parameters
genthe source of randomness to use (e.g., one of the many options provided in the C++ standard random header).
evenif true, then the resulting permutation is guaranteed to be even (and again all even permutations are returned with equal probability).
Returns
a random permutation.

◆ reverse()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::reverse ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Finds the reverse of this permutation.

Here reverse means that we reverse the images of 0,...,6. In other words, if permutation q is the reverse of p, then p[i] == q[6 - i] for all i.

◆ rot()

constexpr Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::rot ( int  i)
inlinestaticconstexpr

Returns the ith rotation.

This maps k to k + i (mod 7) for all k.

Parameters
ithe image of 0; this must be between 0 and 6 inclusive.
Returns
the ith rotation.

◆ S7Index()

constexpr Perm< 7 >::Index regina::Perm< 7 >::S7Index ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the index of this permutation in the Perm<7>::S7 array.

This is a dimension-specific alias for SnIndex(). In general, for every n there will be a member function Perm<n>::SnIndex(); however, these numerical aliases Perm<2>::S2Index(), ..., Perm<7>::S7Index() are only available for small n.

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

Returns
the index i for which this permutation is equal to Perm<7>::S7[i]. This will be between 0 and 5039 inclusive.

◆ setPermCode1()

void regina::Perm< 7 >::setPermCode1 ( Code1  code)
inline

Sets this permutation to that represented by the given first-generation permutation code.

Precondition
the given code is a valid first-generation permutation code; see isPermCode1() for details.
Warning
This routine will incur additional overhead, since Perm<7> now uses second-generation codes internally. See the class notes and the routine setPermCode2() for details.
Parameters
codethe first-generation code that will determine the new value of this permutation.

◆ setPermCode2()

void regina::Perm< 7 >::setPermCode2 ( Code2  code)
inline

Sets this permutation to that represented by the given second-generation permutation code.

Second-generation codes are fast to work with, since they are used internally by the Perm<7> class.

Precondition
the given code is a valid second-generation permutation code; see isPermCode2() for details.
Parameters
codethe second-generation code that will determine the new value of this permutation.

◆ sign()

constexpr int regina::Perm< 7 >::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< 7 >::Index regina::Perm< 7 >::SnIndex ( ) const
inlineconstexpr

Returns the index of this permutation in the Perm<7>::Sn array.

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

◆ str()

std::string regina::Perm< 7 >::str ( ) const

Returns a string representation of this permutation.

The representation will consist of seven adjacent digits representing the images of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 respectively. An example of a string representation is 3045261.

Returns
a string representation of this permutation.

◆ tightDecode()

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::tightDecode ( std::istream &  input)
inlinestatic

Reconstructs a permutation from its given tight encoding.

See the page on tight encodings for details.

The tight encoding will be read from the given input stream. If the input stream contains leading whitespace then it will be treated as an invalid encoding (i.e., this routine will throw an exception). The input routine may contain further data: if this routine is successful then the input stream will be left positioned immediately after the encoding, without skipping any trailing whitespace.

Tight encodings are fast to work with for small permutation classes (n ≤ 7), but slower for larger permutation classes (8 ≤ n ≤ 16). See tightEncoding() for further details.

Exceptions
InvalidInputThe given input stream does not begin with a tight encoding of a 7-element permutation.
Python
Not present. Use tightDecoding() instead, which takes a string as its argument.
Parameters
inputan input stream that begins with the tight encoding for a 7-element permutation.
Returns
the permutation represented by the given tight encoding.

◆ tightDecoding()

Perm< 7 > regina::Perm< 7 >::tightDecoding ( const std::string &  enc)
inlinestatic

Reconstructs a permutation from its given tight encoding.

See the page on tight encodings for details.

The tight encoding will be given as a string. If this string contains leading whitespace or any trailing characters at all (including trailing whitespace), then it will be treated as an invalid encoding (i.e., this routine will throw an exception).

Tight encodings are fast to work with for small permutation classes (n ≤ 7), but slower for larger permutation classes (8 ≤ n ≤ 16). See tightEncoding() for further details.

Exceptions
InvalidArgumentThe given string is not a tight encoding of a 7-element permutation.
Parameters
encthe tight encoding for a 7-element permutation.
Returns
the permutation represented by the given tight encoding.

◆ tightEncode()

void regina::Perm< 7 >::tightEncode ( std::ostream &  out) const
inline

Writes the tight encoding of this permutation to the given output stream.

See the page on tight encodings for details.

For all permutation classes Perm<n>, the tight encoding is based on the index into the full permutation group S_n. For smaller permutation classes (n ≤ 7), such encodings are very fast to work with since the S_n index is used as the internal permutation code. For larger permutation classes however (8 ≤ n ≤ 16), the S_n index requires some non-trivial work to compute.

Python
Not present. Use tightEncoding() instead, which returns a string.
Parameters
outthe output stream to which the encoded string will be written.

◆ tightEncoding()

std::string regina::Perm< 7 >::tightEncoding ( ) const
inline

Returns the tight encoding of this permutation.

See the page on tight encodings for details.

For all permutation classes Perm<n>, the tight encoding is based on the index into the full permutation group S_n. For smaller permutation classes (n ≤ 7), such encodings are very fast to work with since the S_n index is used as the internal permutation code. For larger permutation classes however (8 ≤ n ≤ 16), the S_n index requires some non-trivial work to compute.

Returns
the resulting encoded string.

◆ trunc()

Parameters
lenthe length of the prefix required; this must be between 0 and 7 inclusive.
Returns
the corresponding prefix of the string representation of this permutation.

Member Data Documentation

◆ code2_

Code2 regina::Perm< 7 >::code2_
protected

The internal second-generation permutation code representing this permutation.

◆ codeType

constexpr PermCodeType regina::Perm< 7 >::codeType = PERM_CODE_INDEX
staticconstexpr

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

◆ imageBits

constexpr int regina::Perm< 7 >::imageBits = 3
staticconstexpr

Indicates the number of bits used in an image pack to store the image of a single integer.

A full image pack combines 7 such images together, and so uses 7 * imageBits bits in total.

◆ imageMask

constexpr ImagePack regina::Perm< 7 >::imageMask
staticconstexpr
Initial value:
=
(static_cast<ImagePack>(1) << imageBits) - 1
uint32_t ImagePack
Indicates the native unsigned integer type used to store a single image pack.
Definition: perm7.h:140
static constexpr int imageBits
Indicates the number of bits used in an image pack to store the image of a single integer.
Definition: perm7.h:132

A bitmask whose lowest imageBits bits are 1, and whose remaining higher order bits are all 0.

This may be useful when creating or analysing image packs.

◆ nPerms

constexpr Index regina::Perm< 7 >::nPerms = 5040
staticconstexpr

The total number of permutations on seven elements.

This is the size of the array Sn.

◆ nPerms_1

constexpr Index regina::Perm< 7 >::nPerms_1 = 720
staticconstexpr

The total number of permutations on six elements.

This is the size of the symmetric group S6.

◆ orderedS7

constexpr OrderedS7Lookup regina::Perm< 7 >::orderedS7 {}
staticconstexpr

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

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<7>::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<7>::orderedS7 are only available for small n.

◆ orderedSn

constexpr OrderedS7Lookup regina::Perm< 7 >::orderedSn {}
staticconstexpr

Gives fast array-like access to all possible permutations of seven 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 5039 inclusive. This element access is extremely fast (a fact that is not true for the larger permutation classes Perm<n> with n ≥ 8).

Lexicographical ordering treats each permutation p as the ordered pair (p[0], ..., p[6]).

This array is different from Perm<7>::Sn, since orderedSn stores permutations in lexicographical order, whereas Sn alternates between even and odd permutations.

This is a lightweight object, and it is defined in the headers only. In particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but it is cheap to make a copy).

◆ S7

constexpr S7Lookup regina::Perm< 7 >::S7 {}
staticconstexpr

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

This is a dimension-specific alias for Perm<7>::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<7>::S7 are only available for small n.

◆ Sn

constexpr S7Lookup regina::Perm< 7 >::Sn {}
staticconstexpr

Gives fast array-like access to all possible permutations of seven 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 5039 inclusive. This element access is extremely fast (a fact that is not true for the larger permutation classes Perm<n> with n ≥ 8).

The permutations with even indices in the array are the even permutations, and those with odd indices in the array are the odd permutations.

This array is different from Perm<7>::orderedSn, since Sn alternates between even and odd permutations, whereas orderedSn stores permutations in lexicographical order.

This is a lightweight object, and it is defined in the headers only. In particular, you cannot make a reference to it (but it is cheap to make a copy).
