matlab 在排列组合方面的应用 (2)

 

combntns

All possible combinations of set of values 从给定集合set中列出所有可能的subset个元素的组合

Syntax
     combos = combntns(set,subset)

combos = combntns(set,subset)       returns a matrix whose rows are the various combinations that can be taken of the elements of the vector set of length subset.

Many combinatorial applications can make use of a vector 1:n for the input set to return generalized, indexed combination subsets.

Description

The combntns function provides the combinatorial subsets of a set of numbers.

It is similar to the mathematical expression a choose b, except that instead of the number of such combinations,the actual combinations are returned.

In combinatorial counting, the ordering of the values is not significant.The numerical value of the mathematical statement a choose b is size(combos,1).

Examples

How can the numbers 1 to 5 be taken in sets of three (that is, whatis 5 choose 3)?

combos = combntns(1:5,3)

combos =
        1        2        3
        1        2        4
        1        2        5
        1        3        4
        1        3        5
        1        4        5
        2        3        4
        2        3        5
        2        4        5
        3        4        5
size(combos,1)     % "5 choose 3"

ans =
       10

(注意事项)：Note that if a value is repeated in the input vector, each occurrence is treated as independent:

combos = combntns([2 2 5],2)

combos =
        2        2
        2        5
        2        5

RemarksThis is a recursive function.
