Domain: Composition statistics

Details

• Defined over IntegerComposition as an expression in _x, evaluated by compute-engine — the definition IS the implementation.
• Takes a IntegerComposition and nothing else — it reads values against their positions, or walks the orbits, so it needs the bijection. Applying it to a bare list is a type error, not a wrong answer.
• Archibald, Knopfmacher and Mansour, Variation statistics on compositions.

Definition

Epsil, as the implementation runs it.

on IntegerComposition, over _x

0 if Length(_x) < 2 else Sum(Map(
                                  Function(_x[i + 1] - _x[i], i),
                                  Range(1, Length(_x) - 1),
                                ))
