Multiset

Two words are anagrams if they are made up of the same multiset of letters.

Membrane computing essentially deals with multisets, which are sets with multiplicities associated with their elements.

Italiano (editors), Algorithms and Complexity: 6th Italian Conference CIAC 2006, Proceedings, Springer, LNCS 3998, page 236, A partition of a positive integer n is a multiset of positive integers that add up to exactly n, and an integer partition of a multiset S of integers is defined as the multiset union of partitions of integers in S.

2012, Edward A. Scheinerman, Mathematics: A Discrete Introduction Brooks/Cole (Cengage Learning), page 102, Two multisets are the same provided they contain the same elements with the same multiplicities. For example, {1, 2, 3, 3} = {3, 1, 3, 2}, but {1, 2, 3, 3} ≠ {1, 2, 3, 3, 3}.
