Partitions

A partition of a natural number n is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers, where the order does not matter: two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. This notion is closely related to that of a composition of n, but in a composition of n the order does matter. A summand of the partition is called a part.

Main functions

• p : Partition n is a structure, made of a multiset of integers which are all positive and add up to n.

Implementation details

The main motivation for this structure and its API is to show Euler's partition theorem, and related results.

The representation of a partition as a multiset is very handy as multisets are very flexible and already have a well-developed API.

TODO

Link this to Young diagrams.

def Nat.Partition.ofSums (n : ℕ) (l : Multiset ℕ) (hl : l.sum = n) : n.Partition

Given a multiset which sums to n, construct a partition of n with the same multiset, but without the zeros.

Equations

• Nat.Partition.ofSums n l hl = { parts := Multiset.filter (fun (x : ℕ) => x ≠ 0) l, parts_pos := ⋯, parts_sum := ⋯ }

A Multiset ℕ induces a partition on its sum.

The number of times a positive integer i appears in the partition ofSums n l hl is the same as the number of times it appears in the multiset l. (For i = 0, Partition.non_zero combined with Multiset.count_eq_zero_of_not_mem gives that this is 0 instead.)
