Dynamics of the Picking transformation on integer partitions
Phan Ti, Ha Duong, Éric Thierry

This paper studies a conservative transformation defined on families of finite sets. It consists in removing one element from each set and adding a new set composed of the removed elements. This transformation is conservative in the sense that the union of all sets of the family always remains the same.
