Make a bipartite graph whose two classes index the two partitions, joining on the left to on the right exactly when . For a subset of left indices, its union of blocks contains elements. They all lie in the blocks indexed by , whose union has elements. Thus . Hall's theorem gives a matching covering all left vertices, hence also all right vertices. Its partner map is the required permutation .
