Now if I cut off an apple into slices (and one core) I have several pairwise disjoint parts of the apple, but if I reassemble the parts I get a whole apple again.

The union of the subsets must equal the entire original set.

The union of the subsets is the entire set, and no two of the subsets have common elements. j S

Asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. If you keep in mind that the elements of P are non-empty subsets of X, things should fall into place.

the non-crossing partitions on any set of size n. Like the set of all partitions of the set { 1, ..., n }, the set of all noncrossing partitions is a lattice when partially ordered by saying that a finer partition is "less than" a coarser partition.

The union of the elements of P is equal to X. Examples of partitions of $\{1,2,3\}$ are ) Indeed, every interval within this lattice is self-dual.

Equivalently, if we label the vertices of a regular n-gon with the numbers 1 through n, the convex hulls of different blocks of the partition are disjoint from each other, i.e., they also do not "cross" each other.

If it is a partition, shouldnt they be just a part? i.e.

[] A ~ into disjoint blocks (same as an equivalence relation). denotes the number of blocks of length @Kaz So yes, it is redundant, but sometimes we might only want to deal with a non-exhaustive partition - which is a subset of some (exhaustive) partition.

S The number of noncrossing partitions of an n-element set with k blocks is found in the Narayana number triangle.

( The lattice of noncrossing partitions plays the same role in defining free cumulants in free probability theory that is played by the lattice of all partitions in defining joint cumulants in classical probability theory.

That is, the moments of a non-commutative random variable can be expressed as a sum of free cumulants over the sum non-crossing partitions. ∈ {\displaystyle j} What's the right term in logic for this phenomenon?

@Graham: So a partition would be a partition of a subset, and an exhaustive partition will be a partition of the entire set?

We want that the union of all the parts give us the entire set we partitioned.
(We say the elements of P are pairwise disjoint.). A partition of a set S is a set of non-empty, pairwise disjoint subsets of S, called "parts" or "blocks", whose union is all of S. Consider a finite set that is linearly ordered, or (equivalently, for purposes of this definition) arranged in a cyclic order like the vertices of a regular n-gon. That is,

However, although it is a subset of the lattice of all partitions, it is not a sublattice of the lattice of all partitions, because the join operations do not agree.

a non-commutative random variable with free cumulants $\endgroup$ – Graham Kemp Jun 10 '16 at 1:23 So if you partition a set $X$ in three parts $P_1$, $P_2$, $P_3$, then $P_1\cup P_2\cup P_3=X$.

A partition of a set X is a set of nonempty subsets of X such that every element x in X is in exactly one of these subsets (i.e., X is a disjoint union of the subsets).. Equivalently, a family of sets P is a partition of X if and only if all of the following conditions hold:.

Ie: the union of all parts equals the set, and the intersection of any two parts is empty.

This is the free analogue of the moment-cumulant formula in classical probability.

in the non-crossing partition $\begingroup$ @AsafKaragila A partition of a set is a collection of non-empty subsets of the set (called "parts") which are exhaustive and mutually exclusive (pairwise disjoint). The examples will help. {\displaystyle S} ( for two finite sets {\displaystyle {\text{NC}}(S)} In combinatorial mathematics, the topic of noncrossing partitions has assumed some importance because of (among other things) its application to the theory of free probability. 2
