2006, Xin Chen, Lan Liu, Zheng Liu, Tao Jiang, On the Minimum Common Integer Partition Problem, Tiziana Calamoneri, Irene Finocchi, Giuseppe F. Italiano (editors), Algorithms and Complexity: 6th Italian Conference CIAC 2006, Proceedings, Springer, LNCS 3998, page 236,
A partition of a positive integer n is a multiset of positive integers that add up to exactly n, and an integer partition of a multiset S of integers is defined as the multiset union of partitions of integers in S.
2012, Edward A. Scheinerman, Mathematics: A Discrete Introduction Brooks/Cole (Cengage Learning), page 102,
Two multisets are the same provided they contain the same elements with the same multiplicities. For example, {1, 2, 3, 3} = {3, 1, 3, 2}, but {1, 2, 3, 3} ≠ {1, 2, 3, 3, 3}.

Even where they were aware of the devastating effects of imperialism on the subject peoples, as in Conrad’s description of the dying victims of colonial adventurism in Heart of Darkness, they could not free themselves from the Eurocentric basis of their vision.
The rejection of foreign adventurism derived partly from an awareness of the dynastic vulnerability of the Bourbon line, partly from the country's economic as well as its military fragility – and partly too from the increasingly evident limitations of France's traditional international allies.
