Arrangement

In general, an arrangement of objects is simply a grouping of them. The number of "arrangements" of n items is given either by a combination (order is ignored) or permutation (order is significant).

The division of space into cells by a collection of hyperplanes (Agarwal and Sharir 2000) is also called an arrangement.
