Trace the southeast boundary of the Hook of a Young diagram based at . At each horizontal boundary step record the hook length of the cell in row above that step. At each vertical step ending beside row , record . Starting at the northeast end and moving to the southwest end, these records increase by one from to ; horizontal and vertical steps are disjoint and account for every step. Therefore the Hook-interval decomposition at a Young-diagram cell is
