Full contraction #

We say that a contraction is full if it has no uncontracted fields.

A contraction is full if there are no uncontracted fields, i.e. the finite set of uncontracted fields is empty.

    The condition on whether or not a contraction is full is decidable.

      If n is even then the number of full contractions is (n-1)!!.

      If n is odd then there are no full contractions. This is because there will always be at least one element unpaired.
