 Partition of a set - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a partition of a set X is a division of X into non-overlapping "parts" or "blocks" or "cells" that cover all of 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.

 CS267: Notes for Lectures 20 and 21, Mar 21 1996 and Apr 2 1996
Graph partitioning, which was introduced in Lecture 16, is a technique for executing a set of tasks in parallel so as to balance the load and minimize communications among processors.
Graph partitioning can be used to reorder the rows and columns of the matrix in such as way as to dramatically decrease the number of nonzero entries created during elimination, and the number of floating point operations required.
Partition the graph using H to find a vertex separator as follows: For each node n, let B(n) be a ball centered at n and with radius equal to the distance to the farthest node to which it is connected.

 Abstract   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Classical noncrossing partitions are partitions p such that a certain planar diagram of p has non-intersecting parts.
One obtains a "noncrossing partition lattice" for W which is instrumental in constructing finite K(pi,1) spaces and monoid structures for the Artin group associated to W.
We also show how the planar diagrams for classical noncrossing partitions and their counterparts of types B and D arise from a uniform construction, rather than in an ad hoc manner and discuss this construction in the case of the exceptional groups.

The study of noncrossing partitions goes back at least to Becker \cite{b}, where they are called ``planar rhyme schemes.'' The systematic study of noncrossing partitions began with Kreweras \cite{k1} and Poupard \cite{p}.
Let $f(n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_p)$ denote the number of noncrossing partitions of $[n]$ into $p$ parts of given sizes $n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_p$ (but not specifying which part gets which size); and let $p_k$ denote the number of parts with size $k$.
Then there is a 1-1 onto mapping between the set $\cal N$ of noncrossing partitions of $[n]$ into $p$ parts with given sizes $n_1,n_2,\cdots,n_p$ and the set $\cal V$ of vectors $(k_1, k_2, \cdots, k_{p-1})$ where $1 \le k_i \le n$ and the $k_i$'s are distinct for $1 \le i \le p-1$.

It follows that the number of nonnesting partitions on $\Phi$ is equal to the number of regions of the $\Phi$-Catalan arrangement, divided by the order of the group $W$.
However, the set of nonnesting partitions of $[n]$ partially ordered by refinement will typically not be a lattice, as is the case for noncrossing partitions.
For example, there are $3$ noncrossing $D_3$-partitions of type $(3)$ but $4$ nonnesting partitions of the same kind, namely the $3$ nonnesting partitions on $B_3$ of type $(3)$ and the one with blocks $\{1, -2, -3\}$ and $\{2, 3, -1\}$.

 Non-Crossing Partitions For Classical Reflection Groups - Reiner (ResearchIndex)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Abstract: We introduce analogues of the lattice of non-crossing set partitions for the classical reflection groups of type B and D. The type B analogues (first considered by Montenegro in a different guise) turn out to be as well-behaved as the original non-crossing set partitions, and the type D analogues almost as well-behaved.

For instance, the partition {1,2,4,5}{3} is noncrossing while the partition {1,2,4},{3,5} is crossing.
Noncrossing partitions are naturally associated to certain hyperplane arrangements, certain ideals in a Lie algebra, and certain special subvarieties of the flag variety.
Partition bijections is a combinatorial approach which often gives the shortest and the most elegant proofs of these identities.

A precise enumerative relation with the lattices of generalized noncrossing partitions is conjectured and some evidence is given.
The lattice of noncrossing partitions, which was defined first for symmetric groups by G. Kreweras \cite{kreweras}, has been recently generalized to all finite Coxeter groups \cite{bessis,biane,bradywatt}.
It is probably possible to prove it for classical types using the combinatorial descriptions of the noncrossing partition lattices \cite{athareiner,reiner} and of the generalized associahedra \cite{ysystem}.

 DIMACS Workshop on Geometric Graph Theory
A collection of pairwise noncrossing simple closed curves in S is a blockage if every onesided simple closed curve in S crosses at least one of them.
Robertson and Thomas conjectured that the orientable genus of any graph G embedded in S with sufficiently large face-width is ``roughly'' equal to one half of the minimum number of intersections of a blockage with the graph.
Combining these results with Sz\'ekely's technique, which is based on crossing numbers of graphs, and with dual space partitioning techniques, we obtain improved bounds for incidences between points and circles, between points and parabolas, between points and pseudo-circles, and between points and graphs of polynomials of fixed maximum degree.

This indeed works, but there is a simpler method: the triangulation need not be a partition, but rather can use positively and negatively oriented triangles (with positive and negative areas), as is used when computing the area of a polygon.
The boundary behavior is complex but determined; in particular, for a partition of a region into polygons, each point is "in" exactly one polygon.
Usually one restricts corners of the triangles to coincide with vertices of the polygon, in which case every polygon of n vertices can be triangulated, and all triangulations contain n-2 triangles, employing n-3 "diagonals" (chords between vertices that otherwise do not touch the boundary of the polygon).

Using a bijection between partitions and vacillating tableaus, we show that if we fix the sets of minimal block elements and maximal block elements, the crossing number and the nesting number of partitions have a symmetric joint distribution.
As a corollary, the number of $k$-noncrossing partitions is equal to the number of $k$-nonnesting partitions.

We also extend to the type D case the statement that noncrossing partitions are equidistributed to nonnesting partitions by block sizes, previously known for types A, B, and C.
This leads to a (case-by-case) proof of a theorem valid for all root systems: the noncrossing and nonnesting subspaces within the intersection lattice of the Coxeter hyperplane arrangement have the same distribution according to W-orbits.
