NAME

Math::GSL::Permutation - functions for creating and manipulating permutations

SYNOPSIS

use Math::GSL::Permutation qw/:all/;

DESCRIPTION

Here is a list of all the functions included in this module :

gsl_permutation_alloc($n) - return a newly allocated permutation of size $n
gsl_permutation_calloc($n) - return a newly allocated permutation of size $n which is initialized to the identity
gsl_permutation_init($p) - initialize the permutation $p to the identity i.e. (0,1,2, ..., n-1)
gsl_permutation_free($p) - free all the memory use by the permutaion $p
gsl_permutation_memcpy($dest, $src) - copy the permutation $src into the permutation $dest, the two permutations must have the same lenght and return 0 if the operation suceeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_fread($stream, $p) - This function reads into the permutation $p from the open stream $stream (opened with the fopen function) in binary format. The permutation $p must be preallocated with the correct length since the function uses the size of $p to determine how many bytes to read. The function returns 1 if there was a problem reading from the file. The data is assumed to have been written in the native binary format on the same architecture.
gsl_permutation_fwrite($stream, $p) - This function writes the elements of the permutation $p to the stream $stream (opened with the fopen function) in binary format. The function returns 1 if there was a problem writing to the file. Since the data is written in the native binary format it may not be portable between different architectures.
gsl_permutation_fscanf($stream, $p) - This function reads formatted data from the stream $stream into the permutation $p. The permutation $p must be preallocated with the correct length since the function uses the size of $p to determine how many numbers to read. The function returns 1 if there was a problem reading from the file.
gsl_permutation_fprintf($stream, $p, $format) - This function writes the elements of the permutation $p line-by-line to the stream $stream (opened with the fopen function) using the format specifier $format, which should be suitable. "%zu\n" is a suitable format. The function returns 1 if there was a problem writing to the file.
gsl_permutation_size($p) - return the size of the permutation $p
gsl_permutation_data
gsl_permutation_get($p, $i) - return the $i-th element of the permutation $p, return 0 if $i is outside the range of 0 to n-1
gsl_permutation_swap($p, $i, $j) - exchange the $i-th position and the $j-th position of the permutation $p and return 0 if the operation suceeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_valid($p) - return 0 if the permutation $p is valid (if the n elements contain each of the numbers 0 to n-1 once and only once), 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_reverse($p) - reverse the elements of the permutation $p
gsl_permutation_inverse($inv, $p) - compute the inverse of the permutation $p, storing it in $inv and return 0 if the operation succeeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_next($p) - advance the permutation $p to the next permutation in lexicographic order and return 0 if the operation succeeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_prev($p) - step backward from the permutation $p to the previous permutation in lexicographic order and return 0 if the operation suceeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_mul($p, $pa, $pb) - combine the two permutation $pa and $pb into a single permutation $p and return 0 if the operation suceeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_linear_to_canonical($q, $p) - compute the canonical form the permutation $p and store it in $q and return 0 if the operation suceeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_canonical_to_linear($p, $q) - convert a canonical permutation $q back into linear form and store it in $p and return 0 if the operation suceeded, 1 otherwise
gsl_permutation_inversions($p) - return the number of inversions in the permutation $p
gsl_permutation_linear_cycles($p) - return the number of cycles in the permutation $p, given a linear form
gsl_permute_vector_int_inversegsl_permutation_canonical_cycles($p) - return the number of cycles in the permutation $p, given a canonical form
gsl_permute
gsl_permute_inverse
gsl_permute_int
gsl_permute_int_inverse
gsl_permute_vector
gsl_permute_vector_inverse
gsl_permute_vector_int

 You have to add the functions you want to use inside the qw/put_funtion_here/ with spaces between each function. 
 You can also write use Math::GSL::CDF qw/:all/ to use all avaible functions of the module. 
 Other tags are also avaible, here is a complete list of all tags for this module.
 For more informations on the functions, we refer you to the GSL offcial documentation:

EXAMPLES

 use Math::GSL::Permutation qw/:all/;
 $p->{permutation} = gsl_permutation_calloc(5);
 print "The permutation contains [";
 map { print gsl_permutation_get($p->{permutation}, $_) . ", " } (0..3);
 print gsl_permutation_get($p->{permutation}, 4);
 print "] \n";
 print "We'll then swap the first and last elements of the permutation...\n";
 gsl_permutation_swap($p->{permutation}, 0, 4);
 print "The permutation now contains [";
 map { print gsl_permutation_get($p->{permutation},$_) . ", " } (0..3);
 print gsl_permutation_get($p->{permutation}, 4);
 print "] \n";


 use Math::GSL::Permutation qw/:all/;
 use Math::GSL::Vector qw/:all/;
 my $p->{permutation} = gsl_permutation_calloc(6); 
 gsl_permutation_init($p->{permutation});
 gsl_permutation_swap($p->{permutation}, 0, 1);
 print "The permutation has his first and second elements swapped : [";
 map { print gsl_permutation_get($p->{permutation}, $_) . "," } (0..4);
 print gsl_permutation_get($p->{permutation}, 5) . "] \n";    
 my $vec->{vector} = gsl_vector_alloc(6);
 map { gsl_vector_set($vec->{vector}, $_, $_) } (0..5);
 
 print "We will now apply the permutation to this vector : [";
 map { print gsl_vector_get($vec->{vector}, $_) . "," } (0..4);
 print gsl_vector_get($vec->{vector}, 5) . "] \n";     
 gsl_permute_vector($p->{permutation}, $vec->{vector});
 print "The vector is now : [";
 map { print gsl_vector_get($vec->{vector}, $_) . "," } (0..4);
 print gsl_vector_get($vec->{vector}, 5) . "] \n";
