Multinomial

The multinomial coefficient generalises Binomial to more than two parts.

Multinomial(k_1, k_2, ...)the multinomial coefficient for parts

Domain: Combinatorics

Details
  • Counts the ways to split labeled items into groups of the given sizes.
  • With two arguments it reduces to Binomial: .
  • Orderless: permuting the arguments doesn't change the value.
  • All-zero arguments and a single argument both reduce to the empty product, 1.
  • compute-engine requires all-integer scalar arguments; it does not thread over a list argument.
