I think this is a permutation problem. but i'm not sure. do correct
me.
let's say you have...
a, b, c, d, e and...
a', b', c', d', e'
what are the possible combination will go from a( or a' ) to e ( or
e')
so that you get...
{a b c d e}, {a b c d e'}, {a b c d' e}, {a b c d' e'}, {a b c' d e},
{ a b c' d' e}, {a, b, c' d e'}, {a, b, c' d' e'}....so on
I have 32 from doing it the brute force way by hand. how do i do that
with Mathematica? I don't think it's fully connected graph. because a only
connects to downstream b or b'
also... what kinda problem is described above?
Thank you all very much in advance for any thoughts and comments.
