Inclusion–exclusion illustrated by a Venn diagram for three sets. Generalizing the results of these examples gives the principle of inclusion–exclusion. To find the cardinality of the union of n sets: Include the cardinalities of the sets. Exclude the cardinalities of the pairwise intersections.
if X is a stratified space all of whose strata are even-dimensional, the inclusion–exclusion 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. [7] In general, the inclusion–exclusion principle is false.
The inclusion–exclusion 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 ...
Inclusion is a partial order: Explicitly, this means that inclusion, which is a binary operation, has the following three properties: [3] Reflexivity : L ⊆ L {\textstyle L\subseteq L} Antisymmetry : ( L ⊆ R and R ⊆ L ) if and only if L = R {\textstyle (L\subseteq R{\text{ and }}R\subseteq L){\text{ if and only if }}L=R}
Exclusion criteria concern properties of the study sample, defining reasons for which patients from the target population are to be excluded from the current study sample. Typical exclusion criteria are defined for either ethical reasons (e.g., children, pregnant women, patients with psychological illnesses, patients who are not able or willing ...
A series of Venn diagrams illustrating the principle of inclusion-exclusion.. The inclusion–exclusion 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).
The management component of the compound idea of inclusive management signifies that inclusion is a managed, ongoing project rather than an attainable state. [3] The inclusion component means something different from the commonplace use of inclusion and exclusion to reference the socioeconomic diversity of the participants.
The first example that came up in a search was K. Dohmen, Some remarks on the sieve formula, the Tutte polynomial and Crapo's beta invariant, Aequationes Mathematicae, Volume 60, Numbers 1-2 / August, 2000. Searching for "sieve formula" at scholar.google.com finds other examples too (but not all hits are to inclusion-exclusion).
