Skew Schur Functions
Skew Schur functions sλ/μ depend on two partitions λ and μ, and can be defined by the property
Similar to the ordinary Schur polynomials, there are numerous ways to compute these. The correspinding Jacobi-Trudi identities are
- ,
- .
There is also a combinatorial interpretation of the skew Schur polynomials, namely it is a sum over all semi-standard Young tableaux (or column-strict tableaux) of the skew shape .

Famous quotes containing the word functions:
“In today’s world parents find themselves at the mercy of a society which imposes pressures and priorities that allow neither time nor place for meaningful activities and relations between children and adults, which downgrade the role of parents and the functions of parenthood, and which prevent the parent from doing things he wants to do as a guide, friend, and companion to his children.”
—Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
