Abstract
We compare different analytical and numerical methods for studying the part itions of a finite system into fragments. We propose a numerical method of exploring the partition space by generating the Markov chains of partitions based on the Metropolis algorithm. The advantages of the method for the pr oblems where partitions are sampled with nontrivial weights are demonstrate d.
