Complete permutability of partitions in a set. I. (English) Zbl 0728.08001

The notion of complete permutability of partitions has been introduced by Hashimoto in order to characterize direct product constructions. This paper gives a generalization of this notion to a family of partitions on subsets of a given set together with some characterizations for such families of partitions. For applications of these characterizations the reader is referred to a forthcoming part II of the paper.
