Algebra Applied Mathematics Calculus and Analysis Discrete Mathematics ... Interactive Demonstrations Combinatorics Combinatorics is the branch of mathematics studying the enumeration combination , and permutation of sets of elements and the mathematical relations that characterize their properties. Mathematicians sometimes use the term "combinatorics" to refer to a larger subset of discrete mathematics that includes graph theory . In that case, what is commonly called combinatorics is then referred to as " enumeration ." The Season 1 episode " Noisy Edge " (2005) of the television crime drama mentions combinatorics.

Combinatorics From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Combinatorics is a branch of mathematics concerning the study of finite or countable discrete structures . Aspects of combinatorics include counting the structures of a given kind and size ( enumerative combinatorics ), deciding when certain criteria can be met, and constructing and analyzing objects meeting the criteria (as in combinatorial designs and matroid theory ), finding "largest", "smallest", or "optimal" objects ( extremal combinatorics and combinatorial optimization ), and studying combinatorial structures arising in an algebraic context, or applying algebraic techniques to combinatorial problems ( algebraic combinatorics Combinatorial problems arise in many areas of pure mathematics, notably in algebra probability theory topology , and geometry and combinatorics also has many applications in optimization computer science ergodic theory and statistical physics . Many combinatorial questions have historically been considered in isolation, giving an ad hoc solution to a problem arising in some mathematical context. In the later twentieth century however powerful and general theoretical methods were developed, making combinatorics into an independent branch of mathematics in its own right. One of the oldest and most accessible parts of combinatorics is

Combinatorics and more Skip to content Home About ... The Simonovits-Sos Conjecture was Proved by Ellis, Filmus and Friedgut Posted on October 25, 2010 by Gil Kalai Simonovits and Sos asked: Let triangle in common. How large can be? (We talked about it in this post One of the most beautiful conjectures in extremal set theory is the Simonovich-Sos Conjecture, the proposed answer to the question above: Let be a family of graphs with N as the set of vertices. Suppose that every two graphs in the family have a triangle in common. Than A few weeks ago David Ellis, Yuval Filmus, and Ehud Friedgut proved the conjecture. The paper is now written . The proof uses Discrete Fourier analysis/spectral methods and is quite involved. This is a wonderful achievement. The example showing that this is tight are all graphs containing a fixed triangle.

I guess we are trying all sorts of things, and perhaps we should try even more things. I find it very difficult to choose the more promising ideas, directions and comments as Tim Gowers and Terry Tao did so effectively in Polymath 1,4 and 5.  Maybe this part of the moderator duty can also be outsourced. If you want to point out an idea that you find promising, even if it is your own idea, please, please do.

Search Subject Index MathMap Tour ... Help! ABOUT: Introduction History Related areas Subfields POINTERS: Texts Software Web links Selected topics here 05: Combinatorics Introduction Combinatorics is, loosely, the science of counting. This is the area of mathematics in which we study families of sets (usually finite) with certain characteristic arrangements of their elements or subsets, and ask what combinations are possible, and how many there are. This includes numerous quite elementary topics, such as enumerating all possible permutations or combinations of a finite set. Consequently, it is difficult to mention in this page all the topics with which a person new to combinatorics might come into contact. Moreover, because of the approachable nature of the subject, combinatorics is often presented with other fields (elementary probability, elementary number theory, and so on) to the exclusion of the more significant aspects of the subject. These include more sophisticated methods of counting sets. For example, the cardinalities of sequences of sets are often arranged into power series to form the generating functions, which can then be analyzed using techniques of analysis. (Since many counting procedures involve the binomial coefficients, it is not surprising to see the hypergeometric functions appear frequently in this regard.) In some cases the enumeration is asymptotic (for example the estimates for the number of partitions of an integer). In many cases the counting can be done in a purely synthetic manner using the "umbral calculus". Combinatorial arguments determining coefficients can be used to deduce identities among functions, particularly between infinite sums or products, such as some of the famous Ramanujan identities.

Combinatorics is probably best thought of as a form of counting - counting the total number of possibilities for a given scenario. In this tutorial, we will take a close-up look at combinatorics. We will start by examining the basics of combinatorics, first with a look at manual counting, followed by a study of a more formulaic method. Then we will take a look at counting when restrictions are placed on the scenarios. Finally, we will see how combinatorics applies to the field of probability. Probability deals with the likelihood that some favorable occurrence(s) will happen. When it is necessary to count the number of favorable or total occurrences or both, combinatorics must be employed.
