I would like to generalize the following codes for dimension D=2:
D=2;
dim=factorial(P-1+D)/(factorial(P-1)*factorial(D));
indexes=zeros(dim,D);
s=0;
for i=1:P
for j=1:i
s=s+1;
indexes(s,:)=[i-j,j-1];
end
end
dimension D=3:
D=3;
dim=factorial(P-1+D)/(factorial(P-1)*factorial(D));
indexes=zeros(dim,D);
s=1;
for i=1:P
for j=1:i
for k=1:j
indexes(s,:)=[i-j,j-k,k-1];
s=s+1;
end
end
end
P can be an arbitrary integer (e.g. P=4).
In other words I would like to create D for loops in such a way that the first loop goes from 1 to P (i=1:P) the second loop from 1 to the previous one (j=1:i) the third one from 1 to the second one (h=1:j) etc.
Thank you in advance.

D = 3;
dim = factorial(P-1+D)/(factorial(P-1)*factorial(D));
indexes = zeros(dim,D);
v = ones(1, dim);
for s = 1:dim
indexes(s, 1:D-1) = diff(v);
indexes(s, D) = v(D) - 1;
% Update index vector:
found = false;
for k = D:-1:1
v(k) = v(k) + 1;
if k > 1
if v(k) <= v(k - 1)
break; % Exit for k loop
end
v(k) = 1;
end
end
end
Please test and adjust this to your needs. The idea gets clear: Use one loop and a vector of indices, which are incremented according to the rules in each iteration.

Thank you very much for your answer I adjust it in the following way
P=5;
D =3;
dim = nchoosek(P-1+D,D);
indexes = zeros(dim,D);
v = ones(1,D);
for s = 1:dim
indexes(s, 1:D-1) = -diff(v);
indexes(s, D) = v(D) - 1;
% Update index vector:
for k = D:-1:1
v(k) = v(k) + 1;
if k > 1
if v(k) <= v(k - 1);
break; % Exit for k loop
end
v(k) = 1;
end
end
end
Here I add also an other code for general for-loops concatenated
N=P^D;
indexes=zeros(P,D);
row=zeros(1,D);
for s=1:N
indexes(s,:)=row;
%%Updating
%the alghorithm is counting how many indexes arrived to P-1 (Maximum
%degree)
h=0;
while (h<=D-2)&&(row(h+1)==P-1)
h=h+1;
end
if h>0
row(1:h)=zeros(1,h); %Put zero all the values that were P-1
row(h+1)=row(h+1)+1; % add one to the next index.
end
row(1)=mod(s,P);
end
(Please feel free to comment and improve my codes so I can learn something new =) )
