Symbolic combinatorics

In mathematics, symbolic combinatorics is a technique of counting combinatorial objects by using the internal structure of the objects to derive formulas for their generating functions. For the underlying mathematics, including the Pólya enumeration theorem and other techniques of analytic combinatorics, see fundamental theorem of combinatorial enumeration. Typically, one starts with the... Read enhanced Wikipedia article

    Outline of combinatorics

    A few decades ago it might have been said that combinatorics is little more than a way to classify poorly-understood problems, and some standard remedies. ... Symbolic combinatorics

    Analytic combinatorics

    Analytic combinatorics is a branch of combinatorics that describes combinatorial classes using generating functions, which formal power series that often correspond to analytic functions. ... An important technique for deriving generating functions is symbolic combinatorics.

    Fundamental theorem of combinatorial enumeration

    The fundamental theorem of combinatorial enumeration is a theorem in combinatorics that solves the enumeration problem of labelled and unlabelled combinatorial classes. ... For an introduction to the symbolic method, consult the page on symbolic combinatorics.

    Stirling numbers and exponential generating functions

    The use of exponential generating functions or EGFs to study the properties of Stirling numbers is a classical exercise in combinatorics and possibly the canonical example of how symbolic combinatorics, the method that encapsulates the fundamental theorem of combinatorial enumeration, is used. It also illustrates the parallels in the construction of these two types of numbers, lending support to the binomial-style notation that is used for them.

    Iterated monodromy group

    In geometric group theory and dynamical systems the iterated monodromy group of a covering map is a group describing the monodromy action of the fundamental group on all iterations of the covering. It encodes the combinatorics and symbolic dynamics of the covering and is an example of a self-similar group.

    Symbolic dynamics

    In mathematics, symbolic dynamics is the practice of modelling a topological or smooth dynamical system by a discrete space consisting of infinite sequences of abstract symbols, each of which corresponds to a state of the system, with the dynamics (evolution) given by the shift operator. ...
