Problems
  • Paths excluding forbidden segments

    • w/ PIE, instead of addition principle
    • idea: get all paths, subtract paths going through one forbidden, add paths - thrice, .. add -th and so one.
    • how many paths go through exactly 3 forbidden segments?
      • from generalized PIE:
        • all path going through forbidden - all path going through forbidden, so on.
        • or:
          • (for our case)
  • No. of primes below 50

      • i.e. at least one factor: less than
      • primes less than :
        • only needed number for composite no. below 50
    • : mults. of 2 (and so on for )
      • i.e. no. of composite numbers below
      • all no. of primes:
    • 👨‍🏫 maybe better
      • but I, as a CS people, hate any algorithm w/ PIE (unless it's optimal)
  • Integer solutions w/ more bound

      • how many solutions satisfy exactly two of the upper bounds?
        • : solutions violating
        • :
        • :
      • total no. of solutions:
        • no such solution satisfying more than 1 red bounds
      • e.g. :
  • Generalized PIE

    • universe w/ elements
      • : sets
      • : no. of elements appearing in exactly of the sets ()
    • let element : appears in sets
      • must be counted only once on the left hand
      • appearing in sets
    • thus
      • what if appears in sets?
      • and
      • thus
        • therefore we must add on RHS
    • for with
      • sub
  • r-permutations of : exactly fixed points?

    • fixed point of : index s.t.
      • set of all s.t.
      • set of all s.t.
      • set of all s.t.
      • set of all s.t.
    • chairs: left
      • and people left
    • ⭐ solution:
      • exactly people in correct position
