HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 9

ACCELERATED PROOFS AND PROBLEM SOLVING [MATH08071]

Each problem will be marked out of 4 points.

Exercise 1 ([1, Exercise 20.2]). Let f and g be the following permutations in S7:

f =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 73 1 5 7 2 6 4

), g =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 73 1 7 6 4 5 2

).

Write down in cycle notation the permutations f , g, g2, g3, f ◦ g, (f ◦ g)−1, g−1 ◦ f−1.What is the order of f? What is the order of f ◦ g?

Solution. We have f = (1 3 5 2)(4 7), g = (1 3 7 2)(4 6 5), g2 = (1 7)(3 2)(4 5 6),g3 = (1 2 7 3), f ◦ g = (1 5 7)(2 3 4 6), (f ◦ g)−1 = (1 7 5)(2 6 4 3), and

g−1 ◦ f−1 = (f ◦ g)−1 = (1 7 5)(2 6 4 3).

The order of f is 4 by [1, Proposition 20.4]. Similarly, the order of f ◦ g is 12.

Exercise 2 ([1, Exercise 20.4]). A pack of 2n cards is shuffled by the “interlacing” methoddescribed in [1, Example 20.7] — in other words, if the original order is 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . , 2n,the new order after the shuffle is 1, n+1, 2, n+2, . . . , n, 2n. Work out how many times thisshuffle must be repeated before the cards are again in the original order in the followingcases:

(a) n = 10(b) n = 12(c) n = 14(d) n = 16(e) n = 24(f) n = 26 (i.e., a real pack of cards).

Investigate this question as far as you can for a general n — it is quite fascinating.

Solution. In other words, we must find the order of the permutation(1 2 3 4 5 6 · · · 2n− 1 2n1 n+ 1 2 n+ 2 3 n+ 3 · · · n 2n

)∈ S2n

for n = 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, 26. Let us find the order of the above permutation in the casesn = 10, 12, 14, 16, 24, 26 step by step. See Appendix for further investigation (for all nfrom 4 till 1000).

(10) The case n = 10. The first cycle is a cycle of length 18. This cycle looks like this:

(2 11 6 13 7 4 12 16 18 19 10 15 8 14 17 9 5 3).

The permutation is a composition of 3 cycles of lengths 1, 18, and 1. Namely, wehave the following composition of cycles:

(1)(2 11 6 13 7 4 12 16 18 19 10 15 8 14 17 9 5 3)(20).

Omitting the cycles of length one, we have the following composition of cycles:

(2 11 6 13 7 4 12 16 18 19 10 15 8 14 17 9 5 3).

This assignment is due on Thursday 26th November 2015.

So, the order of the permutation is 18 by [1, Proposition 20.4].(12) The case n = 12. The first cycle is a cycle of length 11. This cycle looks like this:

(2 13 7 4 14 19 10 17 9 5 3).

The permutation is a composition of 4 cycles of lengths 1, 11, 11, and 1. Namely,we have the following composition of cycles:

(1)(2 13 7 4 14 19 10 17 9 5 3)(6 15 8 16 20 22 23 12 18 21 11)(24).

Omitting the cycles of length one, we have the following composition of cycles:

(2 13 7 4 14 19 10 17 9 5 3)(6 15 8 16 20 22 23 12 18 21 11).

So, the order of the permutation is 11 by [1, Proposition 20.4].(14) The case n = 14. The first cycle is a cycle of length 18. This cycle looks like this:

(2 15 8 18 23 12 20 24 26 27 14 21 11 6 17 9 5 3).

The permutation is a composition of 5 cycles of lengths 1, 18, 6, 2, and 1. Namely,we have the following composition of cycles:

(1)(2 15 8 18 23 12 20 24 26 27 14 21 11 6 17 9 5 3)(4 16 22 25 13 7)(10 19)(28).

Omitting the cycles of length one, we have the following composition of cycles:

(2 15 8 18 23 12 20 24 26 27 14 21 11 6 17 9 5 3)(4 16 22 25 13 7)(10 19).

So, the order of the permutation is 18 by [1, Proposition 20.4].(16) The case n = 16. The first cycle is a cycle of length 5. This cycle looks like this:

(2 17 9 5 3).

The permutation is a composition of 8 cycles of lengths 1, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, and 1.Namely, we have the following composition of cycles:

(1)(2 17 9 5 3)(4 18 25 13 7)(6 19 10 21 11)(8 20 26 29 15)(12 22 27 14 23)(16 24 28 30 31)(32).

Omitting the cycles of length one, we have the following composition of cycles:

(2 17 9 5 3)(4 18 25 13 7)(6 19 10 21 11)(8 20 26 29 15)(12 22 27 14 23)(16 24 28 30 31).

So, the order of the permutation is 5 by [1, Proposition 20.4].(24) The case n = 24. The first cycle is a cycle of length 23. This cycle looks like this:

(2 25 13 7 4 26 37 19 10 29 15 8 28 38 43 22 35 18 33 17 9 5 3).

The permutation is a composition of 4 cycles of lengths 1, 23, 23, and 1. So, theorder of the permutation is 23 by [1, Proposition 20.4].

(26) The case n = 26. The first cycle is a cycle of length 8. This cycle looks like this:

(2 27 14 33 17 9 5 3).

The permutation is a composition of 9 cycles of lengths 1, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 2, 8, and1. Omitting the cycles of length one, we have the following composition of cycles:

(2 27 14 33 17 9 5 3)(4 28 40 46 49 25 13 7)(6 29 15 8 30 41 21 11)

(10 31 16 34 43 22 37 19)(12 32 42 47 24 38 45 23)(18 35)(20 36 44 48 50 51 26 39).

So, the order of the permutation is 8 by [1, Proposition 20.4]. Note that 8 isrelatively small comparing to the pack size 52. I guess this is the reason why thisinterlacing trick is so popular among gamblers.

Exercise 3 ([1, Exercise 20.6]). This question is about the 3 × 3 version of the FifteenPizzle of Example 20.10. Starting with the configuration

1 2 34 5 67 8 �

which of the following configurations can be reached by a sequence of moves?

3 2 14 5 67 8 �

,1 � 23 4 56 7 8

,1 7 26 4 53 8 �

Solution. Arguing as in [1, Example 20.10], we see that we never can reach the configu-ration

3 2 14 5 67 8 �

,

because the corresponding permutation(1 2 3 4 5 6 7 83 2 1 4 5 6 4 8

)= (1 3)

is odd. On the other hand, we can reach the remaining two configurations

1 � 23 4 56 7 8

and1 7 26 4 53 8 �

.

Let us show this other way around. Namely, let us show how to start with any of thistwo configuration and get the initial configuration

1 2 34 5 67 8 �

.

For the first case we have

1 � 23 4 56 7 8

−→1 4 23 � 56 7 8

−→1 4 2� 3 56 7 8

−→1 4 26 3 5� 7 8

−→1 4 26 3 57 � 8

−→1 4 26 3 57 8 �

−→

−→1 4 26 3 �7 8 5

−→1 4 26 � 37 8 5

−→1 4 2� 6 37 8 5

−→1 4 27 6 3� 8 5

−→1 4 27 6 38 � 5

−→1 4 27 � 38 6 5

−→

−→1 � 27 4 38 6 5

−→1 2 �7 4 38 6 5

−→1 2 37 4 �8 6 5

−→1 2 37 4 58 6 �

−→1 2 37 4 58 � 6

−→1 2 37 4 5� 8 6

−→

−→1 2 3� 4 57 8 6

−→1 2 34 � 57 8 6

−→1 2 34 5 �7 8 6

−→1 2 34 5 67 8 �

.

For the second case we have

1 7 26 4 53 8 �

−→1 7 26 4 53 � 8

−→1 7 26 4 5� 3 8

−→1 7 2� 4 56 3 8

−→1 7 24 � 56 3 8

−→

−→1 7 24 3 56 8 �

−→1 7 24 3 �6 8 5

−→1 7 24 � 36 8 5

−→1 7 24 8 36 � 5

−→1 2 34 � 57 8 6

−→1 2 34 5 �7 8 6

−→1 2 34 5 67 8 �

.

Now reversing the arrows, we start with the configuration

1 2 34 5 67 8 �

and get the following configurations

1 � 23 4 56 7 8

and1 7 26 4 53 8 �

.

Exercise 4 ([3, Problem 5]). Denote by α the permutation(1 2 3 4 5 6 73 7 4 1 6 5 2

)∈ S7.

(a) Express α as a product of disjoint cycles.(b) Find the order of the permutation α and find

α ◦ α ◦ α ◦ · · · ◦ α ◦ α︸ ︷︷ ︸2011 times

.

Solution. α = (1 3 4)(2 7)(5 6). Then the order of α is 6 by [1, Proposition 20.4]. Then

α ◦ α ◦ α ◦ · · · ◦ α ◦ α︸ ︷︷ ︸2011 times

= α2011 = α335×6+1 =(α6)335

α = α = (1 3 4)(2 7)(5 6).

Exercise 5 ([2, Problem 5]). Let f, g be the permutation in S7.

f =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 74 5 7 3 2 6 1

), g =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 77 6 4 5 3 2 1

).

(i) Calculate f−1 and f ◦ g.(ii) Express f as a composite of disjoint cycles.(iii) Determine whether f is an even or odd permutation.(iv) Write g as a composite of simple interchanges.

Solution. We have

f−1 =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 77 5 4 1 2 6 3

)and f ◦ g =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 71 6 3 2 7 5 4

).

We have f = (1 4 3 7)(2 5). Then f is even by [1, Proposition 20.7].4

Page 5: HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 9 · HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 9 ACCELERATED PROOFS AND PROBLEM SOLVING [MATH08071] Each problem will be marked out of 4 points. Exercise 1 ([1, Exercise 20.2])

Recall that simple interchange is just another name for a cycle of length 2. Thus,arguing as in the proof of [1, Proposition 20.6], we see that

g =

(1 2 3 4 5 6 77 6 4 5 3 2 1

)= (1 7)(2 6)(3 4 5) = (1 7)(2 6)(3 5)(3 4).

So, the order of the permutation is 36.

We can continue in the same fashion for a very long time (keeping in mind that most ofthis text is written by a computer program). But it would be much better to understandthe rule that stands behind this. Unfortunately, I did not find this rule (this does notmean the rule does not exists and this does not mean that it is hard to find the rule).Nevertheless, I investigated a lot of cases (using a simple program in Java). Let mesummarize my investigations in a table whose first column contains n for all n from 4 till1000, the second column contains 2n (the number of interlacing cards), the third columncontains the cycle shape of the permutation like in [1, Example 20.4] and [1, Example 20.5](but I put the cycle shape in the ascending order contrary to the book, since it looks morenatural to me), and final forth column contains the order of our permutation (what weare looking for!).
