  2. Double counting (proof technique) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_counting_(proof...

    Where double counting involves counting one set in two ways, bijective proofs involve counting two sets in one way, by showing that their elements correspond one-for-one. The inclusion–exclusion principle , a formula for the size of a union of sets that may, together with another formula for the same union, be used as part of a double ...

  3. Inclusion–exclusion principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion–exclusion...

    The formula expresses the fact that the sum of the sizes of the two sets may be too large since some elements may be counted twice. The double-counted elements are those in the intersection of the two sets and the count is corrected by subtracting the size of the intersection.

  4. Combination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination

    In mathematics, a combination is a selection of items from a set that has distinct members, such that the order of selection does not matter (unlike permutations).For example, given three fruits, say an apple, an orange and a pear, there are three combinations of two that can be drawn from this set: an apple and a pear; an apple and an orange; or a pear and an orange.

  5. Bijection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bijection

    Satisfying properties (1) and (2) means that a pairing is a function with domain X. It is more common to see properties (1) and (2) written as a single statement: Every element of X is paired with exactly one element of Y. Functions which satisfy property (3) are said to be "onto Y" and are called surjections (or surjective functions).

  6. Binomial coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial_coefficient

    One may show by induction that F(n) counts the number of ways that a n × 1 strip of squares may be covered by 2 × 1 and 1 × 1 tiles. On the other hand, if such a tiling uses exactly k of the 2 × 1 tiles, then it uses n − 2 k of the 1 × 1 tiles, and so uses n − k tiles total.

  7. Burnside's lemma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnside's_lemma

    Burnside's lemma can compute the number of rotationally distinct colourings of the faces of a cube using three colours.. Let X be the set of 3 6 possible face color combinations that can be applied to a fixed cube, and let the rotation group G of the cube act on X by moving the colored faces: two colorings in X belong to the same orbit precisely when one is a rotation of the other.

  8. Aggregate function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_function

    The listagg function, as defined in the SQL:2016 standard [2] aggregates data from multiple rows into a single concatenated string. In the entity relationship diagram, aggregation is represented as seen in Figure 1 with a rectangle around the relationship and its entities to indicate that it is being treated as an aggregate entity. [3]

  9. Symmetric Boolean function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_Boolean_function

    All-equal and not-all-equal function: their values is 1 when the inputs do (not) all have the same value; Exact-count functions: their value is 1 on input vectors with k ones for a fixed k. One-hot or 1-in-n function: their value is 1 on input vectors with exactly one one; One-cold function: their value is 1 on input vectors with exactly one zero
