Dec 21, 2014 at 4:07 comment added Tony @falsetru. Quite right. I hadn't sorted that out. Will shortly remove my response, and think about it again.
Dec 21, 2014 at 4:05 comment added PascalVKooten @falsetru My bad, I'm mixing up t and n myself.
Dec 21, 2014 at 4:02 comment added falsetru @PascalvKooten, What about t=5? (over some number of territories (e.g. t=5) in the questino)
Dec 21, 2014 at 4:02 comment added PascalVKooten @falsetru That's a valid result.
Dec 21, 2014 at 4:00 comment added falsetru This can yield [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1].
Dec 21, 2014 at 3:53 comment added Tony @jterrace is right. Given the unique results above, you can generate the distinct permutations of each. It will probably be faster to do that than to use any other approach. There are other posts which show how to get distinct permutations.
Dec 21, 2014 at 3:50 comment added PascalVKooten Zero is indeed permitted. Also, this regards all "territories" to be exactly the same (ordering does not matter) while in fact for my application it does. That's why I believe it to be a bit of a different problem? Other than that, it is very efficient indeed :-)
