Basic Examples (2) 

The following 3-subset ordering can be extended to infinity:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

The function returns the same subsets in the same order:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

The function can return subsets of a large index:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Applying the function to a subset returns the index:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Any strictly increasing list of integers can be considered as a subset with a unique index:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

The index above generates a unique 9-subset:

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

Here are some two item subsets with their indices to show their structure:

In[8]:=

Out[8]=

The 2-subset {4,5} has an index of :

In[9]:=
