<h3>54 <span class="Heading">Partial permutations</span></h3>
<p>This chapter describes the functions in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> for partial permutations.</p>
<p>A <em>partial permutation</em> in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> is simply an injective function from any finite set of positive integers to any other finite set of positive integers. The largest point on which a partial permutation can be defined, and the largest value that the image of such a point can have, are defined by certain architecture dependent limits.</p>
<p>Every inverse semigroup is isomorphic to an inverse semigroup of partial permutations and, as such, partial permutations are to inverse semigroup theory what permutations are to group theory and transformations are to semigroup theory. In this way, partial permutations are the elements of inverse partial permutation semigroups.</p>
<p>A partial permutations in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> acts on a finite set of positive integers on the right. The image of a point <code class="code">i</code> under a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is expressed as <code class="code">i^f</code> in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>. This action is also implemented by the function <code class="func">OnPoints</code> (<a href="chap41.html#X7FE417DD837987B4"><span class="RefLink">41.2-1</span></a>). The preimage of a point <code class="code">i</code> under the partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> can be computed using <code class="code">i/f</code> without constructing the inverse of <code class="code">f</code>. Partial permutations in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> are created using the operations described in Section <a href="chap54.html#X7B9D451D7FDA1DD8"><span class="RefLink">54.2</span></a>. Partial permutations are, by default, displayed in component notation, which is described in Section <a href="chap54.html#X7849595B81D063EE"><span class="RefLink">54.6</span></a>.</p>
<p>The fundamental attributes of a partial permutation are:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Domain</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The <em>domain</em> of a partial permutation is just the set of positive integers where it is defined; see <code class="func">DomainOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X784A14F787E041D7"><span class="RefLink">54.3-4</span></a>). We will denote the domain of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> by dom(<code class="code">f</code>).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Degree</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The <em>degree</em> of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is just the largest positive integer where <code class="code">f</code> is defined. In other words, the degree of <code class="code">f</code> is the largest element in the domain of <code class="code">f</code>; see <code class="func">DegreeOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X8612A4DC864E7959"><span class="RefLink">54.3-1</span></a>).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Image list</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The <em>image list</em> of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is the list <code class="code">[i_1^f, i_2^f, .. , i_n^f]</code> where the domain of <code class="code">f</code> is <code class="code">[i_1, i_2, .., i_n]</code> see <code class="func">ImageListOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X8333293F87F654FA"><span class="RefLink">54.3-6</span></a>). For example, the partial perm sending <code class="code">1</code> to <code class="code">5</code> and <code class="code">2</code> to <code class="code">4</code> has image list <code class="code">[ 5, 4 ]</code>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Image set</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The <em>image set</em> of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is just the set of points in the image list (i.e. the image list after it has been sorted into increasing order); see <code class="func">ImageSetOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7F0724A07A14DCF7"><span class="RefLink">54.3-7</span></a>). We will denote the image set of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> by im(<code class="code">f</code>).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Codegree</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The <em>codegree</em> of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is just the largest positive integer of the form <code class="code">i^f</code> for any <code class="code">i</code> in the domain of <code class="code">f</code>. In other words, the codegree of <code class="code">f</code> is the largest element in the image of <code class="code">f</code>; see <code class="func">CodegreeOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X8413D0EF7DEE1FFF"><span class="RefLink">54.3-2</span></a>).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Rank</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The <em>rank</em> of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is the size of its domain, or equivalently the size of its image set or image list; see <code class="func">RankOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7C1ABD8A80E95B39"><span class="RefLink">54.3-3</span></a>).</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>A <em>functional digraph</em> is a directed graph where every vertex has out-degree <code class="code">1</code>. A partial permutation <var class="Arg">f</var> can be thought of as a functional digraph with vertices <code class="code">[1..DegreeOfPartialPerm(f)]</code> and edges from <code class="code">i</code> to <code class="code">i^f</code> for every <code class="code">i</code>. A <em>component</em> of a partial permutation is defined as a component of the corresponding functional digraph. More specifically, <code class="code">i</code> and <code class="code">j</code> are in the same component if and only if there are <span class="SimpleMath">i=v_0, v_1, ..., v_n=j</span> such that either <span class="SimpleMath">v_k+1=v_k^f</span> or <span class="SimpleMath">v_k=v_k+1^f</span> for all <code class="code">k</code>.</p>
<p>If <code class="code">S</code> is a semigroup and <code class="code">s</code> is an element of <code class="code">S</code>, then an element <code class="code">t</code> in <code class="code">S</code> is a <em>semigroup inverse</em> for <code class="code">s</code> if <code class="code">s*t*s=s</code> and <code class="code">t*s*t=t</code>; see, for example, <code class="func">InverseOfTransformation</code> (<a href="chap53.html#X860306EB7FAAD2D4"><span class="RefLink">53.5-13</span></a>). A semigroup in which every element has a unique semigroup inverse is called an <em>inverse semigroup</em>.</p>
<p>Every partial permutation belongs to a symmetric inverse monoid; see <code class="func">SymmetricInverseSemigroup</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X81D271B380995F8A"><span class="RefLink">54.7-3</span></a>). Inverse semigroups of partial permutations are hence inverse subsemigroups of the symmetric inverse monoids.</p>
<p>The inverse <code class="code">f^-1</code> of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is simply the partial permutation that maps <code class="code">i^f</code> to <code class="code">i</code> for all <code class="code">i</code> in the image of <code class="code">f</code>. It follows that the domain of <code class="code">f^-1</code> equals the image of <code class="code">f</code> and that the image of <code class="code">f^-1</code> equals the domain of <code class="code">f</code>. The inverse <code class="code">f^-1</code> is the unique partial permutation with the property that <code class="code">f*f^-1*f=f</code> and <code class="code">f^-1*f*f^-1=f^-1</code>. In other words, <code class="code">f^-1</code> is the unique semigroup inverse of <code class="code">f</code> in the symmetric inverse monoid.</p>
<p>If <code class="code">f</code> and <code class="code">g</code> are partial permutations, then the domain and image of the product are:</p>
<p class="pcenter">
\textrm{dom}(fg)=(\textrm{im}(f)\cap \textrm{dom}(g))f^{-1}\textrm{ and }
\textrm{im}(fg)=(\textrm{im}(f)\cap \textrm{dom}(g))g
</p>
<p>A partial permutation is an idempotent if and only if it is the identity function on its domain. The products <code class="code">f*f^-1</code> and <code class="code">f^-1*f</code> are just the identity functions on the domain and image of <code class="code">f</code>, respectively. It follows that <code class="code">f*f^-1</code> is a left identity for <code class="code">f</code> and <code class="code">f^-1*f</code> is a right identity. These products will be referred to here as the <em>left one</em> and <em>right one</em> of the partial permutation <code class="code">f</code>; see <code class="func">LeftOne</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7A8FB86C78C49F85"><span class="RefLink">54.3-21</span></a>). The <em>one</em> of a partial permutation is just the identity on the union of its domain and its image, and the <em>zero</em> of a partial permutation is just the empty partial permutation; see <code class="func">One</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X857FC10C81507E8B"><span class="RefLink">54.3-22</span></a>) and <code class="func">Zero</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X83B6AE4881C7253B"><span class="RefLink">54.3-23</span></a>).</p>
<p>If <code class="code">S</code> is an arbitrary inverse semigroup, the <em>natural partial order</em> on <code class="code">S</code> is defined as follows: for elements <code class="code">x</code> and <code class="code">y</code> of <code class="code">S</code> we say <code class="code">x</code><span class="SimpleMath">≤</span><code class="code">y</code> if there exists an idempotent element <code class="code">e</code> in <code class="code">S</code> such that <code class="code">x=ey</code>. In the context of the symmetric inverse monoid, a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is less than or equal to a partial permutation <code class="code">g</code> in the natural partial order if and only if <code class="code">f</code> is a restriction of <code class="code">g</code>. The natural partial order is a meet semilattice, in other words, every pair of elements has a greatest lower bound; see <code class="func">MeetOfPartialPerms</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X81E2B6977E28CD00"><span class="RefLink">54.2-5</span></a>).</p>
<p>Note that unlike permutations, partial permutations do not fix unspecified points but are simply undefined on such points; see Chapter <a href="chap42.html#X80F808307A2D5AB8"><span class="RefLink">42</span></a>. Similar to permutations, and unlike transformations, it is possible to multiply any two partial permutations in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong>.</p>
<p>Internally, <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> stores a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> as a list consisting of the codegree of <code class="code">f</code> and the images <code class="code">i^f</code> of the points <code class="code">i</code> that are less than or equal to the degree of <code class="code">f</code>; the value <code class="code">0</code> is stored where <code class="code">i^f</code> is undefined. The domain and image set of <code class="code">f</code> are also stored after either of these values is computed. When the codegree of a partial permutation <code class="code">f</code> is less than 65536, the codegree and images <code class="code">i^f</code> are stored as 16-bit integers, the domain and image set are subobjects of <code class="code">f</code> which are immutable plain lists of <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> integers. When the codegree of <code class="code">f</code> is greater than or equal to 65536, the codegree and images are stored as 32-bit integers; the domain and image set are stored in the same way as before. A partial permutation belongs to <code class="code">IsPPerm2Rep</code> if it is stored using 16-bit integers and to <code class="code">IsPPerm4Rep</code> otherwise.</p>
<p>In the names of the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> functions that deal with partial permutations, the word "Permutation" is usually abbreviated to "Perm", to save typing. For example, the category test function for partial permutations is <code class="func">IsPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7EECE133792B30FC"><span class="RefLink">54.1-1</span></a>).</p>

<p>Returns: A partial permutation.</p>
<p>Partial permutations can be created in two ways: by giving the domain and the image, or the dense image list.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Domain and image</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The partial permutation defined by a domain <var class="Arg">dom</var> and image <var class="Arg">img</var>, where <var class="Arg">dom</var> is a set of positive integers and <var class="Arg">img</var> is a duplicate free list of positive integers, maps <var class="Arg">dom</var><code class="code">[i]</code> to <var class="Arg">img</var><code class="code">[i]</code>. For example, the partial permutation mapping <code class="code">1</code> and <code class="code">5</code> to <code class="code">20</code> and <code class="code">2</code> can be created using:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>PartialPerm([1,5],[20,2]); </pre></div>
<p>In this setting, <code class="code">PartialPerm</code> is the analogue in the context of partial permutations of <code class="func">MappingPermListList</code> (<a href="chap42.html#X8087DCC780B9656A"><span class="RefLink">42.5-3</span></a>).</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong class="Mark">Dense image list</strong></dt>
<dd><p>The partial permutation defined by a dense image list <var class="Arg">list</var>, maps the positive integer <code class="code">i</code> to <var class="Arg">list</var><code class="code">[i]</code> if <var class="Arg">list</var><code class="code">[i]<>0</code> and is undefined at <code class="code">i</code> if <var class="Arg">list</var><code class="code">[i]=0</code>. For example, the partial permutation mapping <code class="code">1</code> and <code class="code">5</code> to <code class="code">20</code> and <code class="code">2</code> can be created using:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>PartialPerm([20,0,0,0,2]);</pre></div>
<p>In this setting, <code class="code">PartialPerm</code> is the analogue in the context of partial permutations of <code class="func">PermList</code> (<a href="chap42.html#X78D611D17EA6E3BC"><span class="RefLink">42.5-2</span></a>).</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>Regardless of which of these two methods are used to create a partial permutation in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> the internal representation is the same.</p>
<p>If the largest point in the domain is larger than the rank of the partial permutation, then using the dense image list to define the partial permutation will require less typing; otherwise using the domain and the image will require less typing. For example, the partial permutation mapping <code class="code">10000</code> to <code class="code">1</code> can be defined using:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>PartialPerm([10000], [1]);</pre></div>
<p>but using the dense image list would require a list with <code class="code">9999</code> entries equal to <code class="code">0</code> and the final entry equal to <code class="code">1</code>. On the other hand, the identity on <code class="code">[1,2,3,4,6]</code> can be defined using:</p>
<div class="example"><pre>PartialPerm([1,2,3,4,0,6]);</pre></div>
<p>Please note that a partial permutation in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> is never a permutation nor is a permutation ever a partial permutation. For example, the permutation <code class="code">(1,4,2)</code> fixes <code class="code">3</code> but the partial permutation <code class="code">PartialPerm([4,1,0,2]);</code> is not defined on <code class="code">3</code>.</p>

<p>It is possible that a partial permutation in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> can be represented by other types of objects, or that other types of <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> objects can be represented by partial permutations. Partial permutations which are mathematically permutations can be converted into permutations in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> using the function <code class="func">AsPermutation</code> (<a href="chap42.html#X8353AB8987E35DF3"><span class="RefLink">42.5-5</span></a>).

<p>It can happen that the internal representation of a partial permutation uses more memory than necessary. For example, by composing a partial permutation with codegree less than 65536 with a partial permutation with codegree greater than 65535. It is possible that the resulting partial permutation <var class="Arg">f</var> has its codegree and images stored as 32-bit integers, while none of its image points exceeds 65536. The purpose of this function is to change the internal representation of such an <var class="Arg">f</var> from using 32-bit to using 16-bit integers.</p>

<h4>54.6 <span class="Heading">Displaying partial permutations</span></h4>
<p>It is possible to change the way that <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> displays partial permutations using the user preferences <code class="code">PartialPermDisplayLimit</code> and <code class="code">NotationForPartialPerms</code>; see Section <code class="func">UserPreference</code> (<a href="chap3.html#X7B0AD104839B6C3C"><span class="RefLink">3.2-3</span></a>) for more information about user preferences.</p>
<p>If <code class="code">f</code> is a partial permutation of rank <code class="code">r</code> exceeding the value of the user preference <code class="code">PartialPermDisplayLimit</code>, then <code class="code">f</code> is displayed as:</p>
<div class="example"><pre><partial perm on r pts with degree m, codegree n></pre></div>
<p>where the degree and codegree are <code class="code">m</code> and <code class="code">n</code>, respectively. The idea is to abbreviated the display of partial permutations defined on many points. The default value for the <code class="code">PartialPermDisplayLimit</code> is <code class="code">100</code>.</p>
<p>If the rank of <code class="code">f</code> does not exceed the value of <code class="code">PartialPermDisplayLimit</code>, then how <code class="code">f</code> is displayed depends on the value of the user preference <code class="code">NotationForPartialPerms</code> except in the case that <code class="code">f</code> is the empty partial permutation or an identity partial permutation.</p>
<p>There are three possible values for <code class="code">NotationForPartialPerms</code> user preference, which are described below.</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong class="Mark">component</strong></dt>
<dd><p>Similar to permutations, and unlike transformations, partial permutations can be expressed as products of disjoint permutations and chains. A <em>chain</em> is a list <code class="code">c</code> of some length <code class="code">n</code> such that:</p>

</li>
<li><p><code class="code">c[n]</code> is in the image of <var class="Arg">f</var> but not the domain.</p>

<h4>54.7 <span class="Heading">Semigroups and inverse semigroups of partial permutations</span></h4>
<p>As mentioned at the start of the chapter, every inverse semigroup is isomorphic to a semigroup of partial permutations, and in this section we describe the functions in <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> specific to partial perms semigroups. For more information about semigroups and inverse semigroups see Chapter <a href="chap51.html#X8665D8737FDD5B10"><span class="RefLink">51</span></a>.</p>
<p>The <strong class="pkg">Semigroups</strong> package contains many additional functions and methods for computing with semigroups of partial permutations. In particular, <strong class="pkg">Semigroups</strong> contains more efficient methods than those available in the <strong class="pkg">GAP</strong> library (and in many cases more efficient than any other software) for creating semigroups of transformations, calculating their Green's classes, size, elements, group of units, minimal ideal, small generating sets, testing membership, finding the inverses of a regular element, factorizing elements over the generators, and more.</p>
<p>Since a partial permutation semigroup is also a partial permutation collection, there are special methods for <code class="func">DomainOfPartialPermCollection</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X784A14F787E041D7"><span class="RefLink">54.3-4</span></a>), <code class="func">ImageOfPartialPermCollection</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7CD84B107831E0FC"><span class="RefLink">54.3-5</span></a>), <code class="func">FixedPointsOfPartialPerm</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X82AAFF938623422E"><span class="RefLink">54.3-8</span></a>), <code class="func">MovedPoints</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X82FE981A87FAA2DC"><span class="RefLink">54.3-9</span></a>), <code class="func">NrFixedPoints</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7FAF969C84CDC742"><span class="RefLink">54.3-10</span></a>), <code class="func">NrMovedPoints</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X81F5C64E7DAD27A7"><span class="RefLink">54.3-11</span></a>), <code class="func">LargestMovedPoint</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X7D4290A785ABC86D"><span class="RefLink">54.3-13</span></a>), and <code class="func">SmallestMovedPoint</code> (<a href="chap54.html#X84A49C977E1E29AA"><span class="RefLink">54.3-12</span></a>) when applied to a partial permutation semigroup.</p>
