Partitions

A partition of a natural number n is a way of writing n as a sum of positive integers, where the order does not matter: two sums that differ only in the order of their summands are considered the same partition. This notion is closely related to that of a composition of n, but in a composition of n the order does matter. A summand of the partition is called a part.

Main functions

• p : Partition n is a structure, made of a multiset of integers which are all positive and add up to n.

Implementation details

The main motivation for this structure and its API is to show Euler's partition theorem, and related results.

The representation of a partition as a multiset is very handy as multisets are very flexible and already have a well-developed API.
