Tutorial: Finding the Correct Permutation for a Transformed Sequence

In this tutorial, we will learn how to compute a permutation that transforms one sequence into another after applying a sequence of permutations. Specifically, we will use the following problem:

Problem Statement

We are given:

1. An original sequence S = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F'].
2. First permutation (P1): A permutation applied to S to get S'. For example:
   $$P1=[5,2,3,4,0,1]$$
   Applying P1 to S gives S':
   $$S^{\prime }=[F,C,D,E,A,B]$$
3. Second permutation (P2): A permutation applied to the original sequence S to get a new sequence S''. For example:
   $$P2=[2,3,4,1,0,5]$$
   Applying P2 to S gives S'':
   $$S^{\prime \prime }=[C,D,E,B,A,F]$$

Our goal is to find a permutation P such that applying P to S' (i.e., the result of applying P1 to S) gives S''.

Mathematical Representation

We want to find P such that:
$$S^{\prime \prime }=P(S^{\prime })=P(P1(S))$$
where S' is the result of applying P1 to S, and S'' is the result of applying P2 to S.

Step 1: Compute the Inverse of Permutation P1

The first thing we need to do is compute the inverse of P1, denoted as P1^{-1}. The inverse of a permutation P is the permutati
