  2. Symbolic method (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Symbolic_method_(combinatorics)

    A structural equation between combinatorial classes thus translates directly into an equation in the corresponding generating functions. Moreover, in the labelled case it is evident from the formula that we may replace () by the atom z and compute the resulting operator, which may then be applied to EGFs. We now proceed to construct the most ...

  3. Combinatorics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorics

    Combinatorics is an area of mathematics primarily concerned with counting, both as a means and as an end to obtaining results, and certain properties of finite structures.It is closely related to many other areas of mathematics and has many applications ranging from logic to statistical physics and from evolutionary biology to computer science.

  4. Combinatorial chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_chemistry

    Combinatorial split-mix (split and pool) synthesis [12] [13] is based on the solid-phase synthesis developed by Merrifield. [14] If a combinatorial peptide library is synthesized using 20 amino acids (or other kinds of building blocks) the bead form solid support is divided into 20 equal portions.

  5. Twelvefold way - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelvefold_way

    In combinatorics, the twelvefold way is a systematic classification of 12 related enumerative problems concerning two finite sets, which include the classical problems of counting permutations, combinations, multisets, and partitions either of a set or of a number.

  6. Combinatorial explosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_explosion

    A Sudoku is a type of Latin square with the additional property that each element occurs exactly once in sub-sections of size √ n × √ n (called boxes). Combinatorial explosion occurs as n increases, creating limits to the properties of Sudokus that can be constructed, analyzed, and solved, as illustrated in the following table.

  7. Hockey-stick identity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hockey-stick_identity

    Note that there are only people without numbers, meaning we must choose at least one person with a number in order to form a committee of + people. In general, in case x {\displaystyle x} , person x {\displaystyle x} is on the committee and persons 1 , 2 , 3 , … , x − 1 {\displaystyle 1,2,3,\dots ,x-1} are not on the committee.

  8. Rule of product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_product

    In combinatorics, the rule of product or multiplication principle is a basic counting principle (a.k.a. the fundamental principle of counting). Stated simply, it is the intuitive idea that if there are a ways of doing something and b ways of doing another thing, then there are a · b ways of performing both actions. [1] [2]

  9. Composition (combinatorics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_(combinatorics)

    In mathematics, a composition of an integer n is a way of writing n as the sum of a sequence of (strictly) positive integers.Two sequences that differ in the order of their terms define different compositions of their sum, while they are considered to define the same integer partition of that number.
