Comments

We say a partition alpha contains mu provided that one can delete rows and columns from (the Ferrers board of) alpha and then top/right justify to obtain mu. If this is not possible then we say alpha avoids mu. For example, the only partitions avoiding (2,1) are those whose Ferrers boards are rectangles.
