Permutation

  • Permutation is a kind of arrangement where all the elements are used ($n=p$)

Permutation Simple

  • An arrangement where $n=p$

$$P_n = n!$$

Permutation with repetition

  • $n$: available number of elements
  • $a,b,c$: number of times each component repeats
  • Use cases: anagrams of words with repeating letters

$$A^{a,b}_{n} = \frac{n!}{a!b!c!}$$

Permutation Circular

$$P^{circular}_n = (n-1)!$$
