The Pólya enumeration theorem can be used to calculate the number of graphs up to isomorphism with a fixed number of vertices, or the generating function of these graphs according to the number of edges they have. For the latter purpose, we can say that a black or present edge has weight 1, while an absent or white edge has weight 0.
Pólya’s theorem can be used to construct an example of two random variables whose characteristic functions coincide over a finite interval but are different elsewhere. Pólya’s theorem. If is a real-valued, even, continuous function which satisfies the conditions =,
According to the De Finetti's theorem, there must be a unique prior distribution such that the joint distribution of observing the sequence is a Bayesian mixture of the Bernoulli probabilities. It can be shown that this prior distribution is a beta distribution with parameters β ( ⋅ ; α , γ ) {\displaystyle \beta \left(\cdot ;\,\alpha ...
[4]: 23–24 The specific topics treated bear witness to the special interests of Pólya (Descartes' rule of signs, Pólya's enumeration theorem), Szegö (polynomials, trigonometric polynomials, and his own work in orthogonal polynomials) and sometimes both (the zeros of polynomials and analytic functions, complex analysis in general).

Mathematics and Plausible Reasoning is a two-volume book by the mathematician George Pólya describing various methods for being a good guesser of new mathematical results. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In the Preface to Volume 1 of the book Pólya exhorts all interested students of mathematics thus: "Certainly, let us learn proving, but also let us learn guessing."
A tree that (as an abstract graph) has 480 symmetries (automorphisms).There are 2 ways of permuting the two children of the upper left vertex, 2 ways of permuting the two children of the upper middle vertex, and 5! = 120 ways of permuting the five children of the upper right vertex, for 2 · 2 · 120 = 480 symmetries altogether.
