SUBSET
Combinatorial Routines


SUBSET, a MATLAB library which enumerates, generates, randomizes, ranks and unranks combinatorial objects including combinations, compositions, Gray codes, index sets, partitions, permutations, polynomials, subsets, and Young tables. Backtracking routines are included to solve some combinatorial problems. Some routines for continued fractions are included.

Combinatorial operations include the enumeration, generation, random selection, ranking and unranking of
