Description
Return Ferrers diagram cell, row and column counts.
Partitions, permutations and circular words use distinct encodings and symmetry conventions. Parity, block bounds and orbit-size identities can follow from supplied counts without verifying a complete object or identifying its actual symmetry.
Return Ferrers diagram cell, row and column counts.
When to use this tool
Use Combinatorics: Partition Ferrers Cell Count when checking the stated partition, permutation or rotation/reflection convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter parts. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read result. Expand result to inspect the returned fields.
Return Ferrers diagram cell, row and column counts. Require positive whole nonincreasing parts bounded at 1000000; cellCount sums parts, rowCount is length, columnCount is first part or zero for empty input.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| parts | Parts | Required. Array of finite number. Implementation limit: 128 items. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| result | Returned calculated value or nested object under the stated output convention. | Required. Object. |
| result.cellCount | Cell Count | Calculated result member: number. |
| result.rowCount | Row Count | Calculated result member: number. |
| result.columnCount | Column Count | Calculated result member: number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This validates integer-partition shape, not a drawing, conjugate partition or enumeration of all partitions.
- Outputs are nested inside result. Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Validate the complete combinatorial object and its action/labeling convention before applying whole-object enumeration, ranking or symmetry conclusions.
