摘要: In this paper we consider the absolute variation statistics of a composition σ = σ1 ··· σm n which is measure sum differences between each consecutive pair parts in composition. This and some related discuss, can also be interpreted within context bargraph polygons walks area n. context, corresponds to interior vertical perimeter polygon or length walk.
