Henning, In your reply, you made a number of interesting suggestions. You could also have written mSplitC :: [a] -> [([a], [a])] -- C for comprehension mSplitC [] = [([],[])] mSplitC [x] = [([x],[])] mSplitC (x:xs) = concat [ [(x:l,r),(l,x:r)] | (l,r) <- mSplitC xs ] which Matthias Radestock suggested to me. Note that if you only supply the empty multiset case, then you end up with duplicates. mSplitCD :: [a] -> [([a], [a])] mSplitCD [] = [([],[])] mSplitCD (x:xs) = concat [[(x:l,r),(l,x:r)] | (l,r) <- mSplitCD xs] *Zoup> mSplitCD [1,2,3] [([1,2,3],[]),([2,3],[1]),([1,3],[2]),([3],[1,2]),([1,2],[3]),([2],[1,3]),([1],[2,3]),([],[1,2,3])] *Zoup> mSplitC [1,2,3] [([1,2,3],[]),([2,3],[1]),([1,3],[2]),([3],[1,2])] *Zoup> Is there anyway to peer under the hood to see the code being generated? i notice, for example, that the original concat/zip-based implementation occasionally comes in quite a bit faster that the comprehension based example.

HC-er's,
Find below some simple-minded code from a naive Haskeller for generating all partitions of a multiset about which i have two questions.
mSplit :: [a] -> [([a], [a])] mSplit [x] = [([x],[])] mSplit (x:xs) = (zip (map (x:) lxs) rxs) ++ (zip lxs (map (x:) rxs)) where (lxs,rxs) = unzip (mSplit xs)
1. Is there a clever way to reduce the horrid complexity of the naive approach? 2. How lazy is this code? Is there a lazier way?
i ask this in the context of checking statements of the form \phi * \psi |= e_1 * ... * e_n where
- [| \phi * \psi |] = { a \in U : a === b_1 * b_2, b_1 \in [| \phi |], b_2 \in [| \psi |] } - === is some congruence generated from a set of relations
A nice implementation for checking such statements will iterate through the partitions, generating them as needed, checking subconditions and stopping at the first one that works (possibly saving remainder for a rainy day when the client of the check decides that wasn't the partition they meant).
Best wishes,
