Definition

Let $\sequence {a_k}_{k \mathop \in A}$ be a finite sequence of $n$ terms.

Let $\sigma$ be a permutation of $A$.


Then the ordered $n$-tuple defined by the sequence $\sequence {a_{\map \sigma k} }_{k \mathop \in A}$ is the ordered $n$-tuple:

$\sequence {a_{\map \sigma {\map \tau j} } }_{1 \mathop \le j \mathop \le n}$

where $\tau$ is the unique isomorphism from the totally ordered set $\closedint 1 n$ onto the totally ordered set $A$.
