##### The fundamental bijection

Stanley defines the fundamental bijection on page 30.

Given $w=(14)(2)(375)(6)$, Stanley writes it in standard form (specifically: each cycle is written with its largest element first; cycles are written in increasing order of their largest element). Thus we obtain $(2)(41)(6)(753)$.

Then we obtain $w^*$ from $w$ by writing it in standard form an erasing the parentheses (that is, viewing the numbers as a word); here $w^*=2416753$.

Given this, $w$ may be recoverd by inserting a left parenthesis preceding every left-to-right maximum, and right parentheses where appropriate.

##### Usage
standard(cyc,n=NULL)
standard_cyclist(x,n=NULL)
fbin_single(vec)
fbin(W)
fbin_inv(cyc)
##### Arguments
vec

In function fbin_single(), an integer vector

W

In functions fbin() and fbin_inv(), an object of class permutation, coerced to word and cycle form respectively

cyc

In functions fbin_single() and standard(), permutation object coerced to cycle form

n

In function standard() and standard_cyclist(), size of the partition to assume, with default NULL meaning to use the largest element of any cycle

x

In function standard_cyclist(), a cyclist

##### Details

The user-friendly functions are fbin() and fbin_inv() which perform Stanley's “fundamental bijection”. Function fbin() takes a word object and returns a cycle; function fbin_inv() takes a cycle and returns a word.

The other functions are low-level helper functions that are not really intended for the user (except possibly standard(), which puts a cycle object in standard order in list form).
