FUNCTION : pntDP - Returns true if a partition into distinct parts CALLING SEQUENCE : pntDP(ptn) PARAMETERS : ptn - partition (list of nonnegative integers) SYNOPSIS : pntDP(ptn) returns true if the partition ptn is a partition into distinct parts. EXAMPLES : > with(combinat): > read %FUNCS.txt%: > ptn1:=[1,3,6]; ptn1 := [1, 3, 6] > ptnDP(ptn1); true > ptn2:=[1,3,3,6]; ptn2 := [1, 3, 3, 6] > ptnDP(ptn2); false > ptns:=partition(9): > ptns1:=select(ptnDP,ptns); ptns1 := [[2, 3, 4], [1, 3, 5], [4, 5], [1, 2, 6], [3, 6], [2, 7], [1, 8], [9]] > printptns(ptns1); 9 `8 + 1` `7 + 2` `6 + 3` `6 + 2 + 1` `5 + 4` `5 + 3 + 1` `4 + 3 + 2` > quit DISCUSSION : ptn1=[1,3,6] is a partition into distinct parts but ptn2=[1,3,3,6] is not. There are 8 partitions of 9 into distinct parts: 9, 8 + 1, 7 + 2, 6 + 3, 6 + 2 + 1, 5 + 4, 5 + 3 + 1, and 4 + 3 + 2. SEE ALSO : ptnOP
