  2. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusionexclusion...

    Via the inclusionexclusion principle one can show that if the cardinality of A is n, then the number of derangements is [n! / e] where [x] denotes the nearest integer to x; a detailed proof is available here and also see the examples section above.

  3. Combinatorial principles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combinatorial_principles

    The inclusionexclusion principle relates the size of the union of multiple sets, the size of each set, and the size of each possible intersection of the sets. The smallest example is when there are two sets: the number of elements in the union of A and B is equal to the sum of the number of elements in A and B , minus the number of elements ...

    A series of Venn diagrams illustrating the principle of inclusion-exclusion.. The inclusionexclusion principle (also known as the sieve principle [7]) can be thought of as a generalization of the rule of sum in that it too enumerates the number of elements in the union of some sets (but does not require the sets to be disjoint).

    In the general case, for a word with n 1 letters X 1, n 2 letters X 2, ..., n r letters X r, it turns out (after a proper use of the inclusion-exclusion formula) that the answer has the form () , for a certain sequence of polynomials P n, where P n has degree n.

    The inclusion-exclusion principle for two finite sets states that the size of their union is the sum of the sizes of the sets minus the size of their intersection. The inclusionexclusion principle is a technique for counting the elements in a union of two finite sets in terms of the sizes of the two sets and their intersection.

    if X is a stratified space all of whose strata are even-dimensional, the inclusionexclusion principle holds if M and N are unions of strata. This applies in particular if M and N are subvarieties of a complex algebraic variety. [8] In general, the inclusionexclusion principle is false.
