Introduction to Combinatorics
Author: Walter D. Wallis
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1498777635
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 424
Book Description
What Is Combinatorics Anyway? Broadly speaking, combinatorics is the branch of mathematics dealing with different ways of selecting objects from a set or arranging objects. It tries to answer two major kinds of questions, namely, counting questions: how many ways can a selection or arrangement be chosen with a particular set of properties; and structural questions: does there exist a selection or arrangement of objects with a particular set of properties? The authors have presented a text for students at all levels of preparation. For some, this will be the first course where the students see several real proofs. Others will have a good background in linear algebra, will have completed the calculus stream, and will have started abstract algebra. The text starts by briefly discussing several examples of typical combinatorial problems to give the reader a better idea of what the subject covers. The next chapters explore enumerative ideas and also probability. It then moves on to enumerative functions and the relations between them, and generating functions and recurrences., Important families of functions, or numbers and then theorems are presented. Brief introductions to computer algebra and group theory come next. Structures of particular interest in combinatorics: posets, graphs, codes, Latin squares, and experimental designs follow. The authors conclude with further discussion of the interaction between linear algebra and combinatorics. Features Two new chapters on probability and posets. Numerous new illustrations, exercises, and problems. More examples on current technology use A thorough focus on accuracy Three appendices: sets, induction and proof techniques, vectors and matrices, and biographies with historical notes, Flexible use of MapleTM and MathematicaTM

Combinatorics: The Art of Counting
Author: Bruce E. Sagan
Publisher: American Mathematical Soc.
ISBN: 1470460327
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
This book is a gentle introduction to the enumerative part of combinatorics suitable for study at the advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate level. In addition to covering all the standard techniques for counting combinatorial objects, the text contains material from the research literature which has never before appeared in print, such as the use of quotient posets to study the Möbius function and characteristic polynomial of a partially ordered set, or the connection between quasisymmetric functions and pattern avoidance. The book assumes minimal background, and a first course in abstract algebra should suffice. The exposition is very reader friendly: keeping a moderate pace, using lots of examples, emphasizing recurring themes, and frankly expressing the delight the author takes in mathematics in general and combinatorics in particular.

Geometry and Combinatorics
Author: J. J. Seidel
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483268004
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
Geometry and Combinatorics: Selected Works of J. J. Seidel brings together some of the works of J. J. Seidel in geometry and combinatorics. Seidel's selected papers are divided into four areas: graphs and designs; lines with few angles; matrices and forms; and non-Euclidean geometry. A list of all of Seidel's publications is included. Comprised of 29 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on equilateral point sets in elliptic geometry, followed by an analysis of strongly regular graphs of L2-type and of triangular type. The reader is then introduced to strongly regular graphs with (-1, 1, 0) adjacency matrix having eigenvalue 3; graphs related to exceptional root systems; and equiangular lines. Subsequent chapters deal with the regular two-graph on 276 vertices; the congruence order of the elliptic plane; equi-isoclinic subspaces of Euclidean spaces; and Wielandt's visibility theorem. This monograph will be of interest to students and practitioners in the field of mathematics.

Combinatorics of Determinantal Ideals
Author: Cornel Baetica
Publisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781594549182
Category : Determinantal rings
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
The study of determinantal ideals and of classical determinantal rings is an old topic of commutative algebra. As in most of the cases, the theory evolved from algebraic geometry, and soon became an important topic in commutative algebra. Looking back, one can say that it is the merit of Eagon and Northcott to be the first who brought to the attention of algebraists the determinantal ideals and investigated them by the methods of commutative and homological algebra. Later on, Buchsbaum and Eisenbud, in a long series of articles, went further along the way of homological investigation of determinantal ideals, while Eagon and Hochster studied them using methods of commutative algebra in order to prove that the classical determinantal rings are normal Cohen-Macaulay domains. As shown later by C. DeConcini, D. Eisenbud, and C. Procesi the appropriate framework including all three types of rings is that of algebras with straightening law, and the standard monomial theory on which these algebras are based yields computationally effective results. A coherent treatment of determinantal ideals from this point of view was given by Bruns and Vetter in their seminal book. The author's book aims to a thorough treatment of all three types of determinantal rings in the light of the achievements of the last fifteen years since the publication of Bruns and Vetter's book. They implicitly assume that the reader is familiar with the basics of commutative algebra. However, the authors include some of the main notions and results from Bruns and Vetter's book for the sake of completeness, but without proofs. The authors recommend the reader to first look at the book of Bruns and Vetter in order to get a feel for the flavour of this field. The author's book is meant to be a reference text for the current state of research in the theory of determinantal rings. It was structured in such a way that it can be used as textbook for a one semester graduate course in advanced topics in Algebra, and at the PhD level.

Algebraic, Extremal and Metric Combinatorics 1986
Author: M. Deza
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521359238
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
This book represents a comprehensive overview of the present state of progress in three related areas of combinatorics. It comprises selected papers from a conference held at the University of Montreal. Topics covered in the articles include association schemes, extremal problems, combinatorial geometrics and matroids, and designs. All the papers contain new results and many are extensive surveys of particular areas of research. Particularly valuable will be Ivanov's paper on recent Soviet research in these areas. Consequently this volume will be of great attraction to all researchers in combinatorics and to research students requiring a rapid introduction to some of the open problems in the subject.

Book Description
This book is based on the mini-workshop Renormalization, held in December 2006, and the conference Combinatorics and Physics, held in March 2007. Both meetings took place at the Max-Planck-Institut fur Mathematik in Bonn, Germany. Research papers in the volume provide an overview of applications of combinatorics to various problems, such as applications to Hopf algebras, techniques to renormalization problems in quantum field theory, as well as combinatorial problems appearing in the context of the numerical integration of dynamical systems, in noncommutative geometry and in quantum gravity. In addition, it contains several introductory notes on renormalization Hopf algebras, Wilsonian renormalization and motives.
