    Section 4.2 Counting CS 130 – Discrete Structures Counting: Multiplication Principle • The idea is to find out how many members are present in a finite set • Multiplication Principle: If there are n possible outcomes for a first event and m possible outcomes for a second event, then there are n*m possible outcomes for the sequence of two events. • From the multiplication principle, it follows that for 2 sets A and B, |A x B| = |A|x|B| – A x B consists of all ordered pairs with first component from A and second component from B CS 130 – Discrete Structures 27 Examples • How many four digit number can there be if repetitions of numbers is allowed? • And if repetition of numbers is not allowed? • If a man has 4 suits, 8 shirts and 5 ties, how many outfits can he put together? CS 130 – Discrete Structures 28 Counting: Addition Principle • Addition Principle: If A and B are disjoint events with n and m outcomes, respectively, then the total number of possible outcomes for event “A or B” is n+m • If A and B are disjoint sets, then |A B| = |A| + |B| using the addition principle • Example: A customer wants to purchase a vehicle from a dealer. The dealer has 23 autos and 14 trucks in stock. How many selections does the customer have? CS 130 – Discrete Structures 29 More On Addition Principle • If A and B are disjoint sets, then |A B| = |A| + |B| • Prove that if A and B are finite sets then |A-B| = |A| - |A B| and |A-B| = |A| - |B| if B A (A-B) (A B) = (A B) (A B) = A (B B) = A U = A Also, A-B and A B are disjoint sets, therefore using the addition principle, |A| = | (A-B) (A B) | = |A-B| + |A B| Hence, |A-B| = |A| - |A B| If B A, then A B = B Hence, |A-B| = |A| - |B| CS 130 – Discrete Structures 30 Using Principles Together • How many four-digit numbers begin with a 4 or a 5 • How many three-digit integers (numbers between 100 and 999 inclusive) are even? • Suppose the last four digit of a telephone number must include at least one repeated digit.

  • 180: Counting Techniques
    180: Counting Techniques In the following exercise we demonstrate the use of a few fundamental counting principles, namely the addition, multiplication, complementary, and inclusion-exclusion principles. While none of the principles are particular complicated in their own right, it does take some practice to become familiar with them, and recognise when they are applicable. I have attempted to indicate where alternate approaches are possible (and reasonable). Problem: Assume n ≥ 2 and m ≥ 1. Count the number of functions f :[n] ! [m] (i) in total. (ii) such that f(1) = 1 or f(2) = 1. (iii) with minx2[n] f(x) ≤ 5. (iv) such that f(1) ≥ f(2). (v) that are strictly increasing; that is, whenever x < y, f(x) < f(y). (vi) that are one-to-one (injective). (vii) that are onto (surjective). (viii) that are bijections. (ix) such that f(x) + f(y) is even for every x; y 2 [n]. (x) with maxx2[n] f(x) = minx2[n] f(x) + 1. Solution: (i) A function f :[n] ! [m] assigns for every integer 1 ≤ x ≤ n an integer 1 ≤ f(x) ≤ m. For each integer x, we have m options. As we make n such choices (independently), the total number of functions is m × m × : : : m = mn. (ii) (We assume n ≥ 2.) Let A1 be the set of functions with f(1) = 1, and A2 the set of functions with f(2) = 1. Then A1 [ A2 represents those functions with f(1) = 1 or f(2) = 1, which is precisely what we need to count. We have jA1 [ A2j = jA1j + jA2j − jA1 \ A2j.

  • STRUCTURE ENUMERATION and SAMPLING Chemical Structure Enumeration and Sampling Have Been Studied by Mathematicians, Computer
    STRUCTURE ENUMERATION AND SAMPLING MARKUS MERINGER To appear in Handbook of Chemoinformatics Algorithms Chemical structure enumeration and sampling have been studied by 5 mathematicians, computer scientists and chemists for quite a long time. Given a molecular formula plus, optionally, a list of structural con- straints, the typical questions are: (1) How many isomers exist? (2) Which are they? And, especially if (2) cannot be answered completely: (3) How to get a sample? 10 In this chapter we describe algorithms for solving these problems. The techniques are based on the representation of chemical compounds as molecular graphs (see Chapter 2), i.e. they are mainly applied to constitutional isomers. The major problem is that in silico molecular graphs have to be represented as labeled structures, while in chemical 15 compounds, the atoms are not labeled. The mathematical concept for approaching this problem is to consider orbits of labeled molecular graphs under the operation of the symmetric group. We have to solve the so–called isomorphism problem. According to our introductory questions, we distinguish several dis- 20 ciplines: counting, enumerating and sampling isomers. While counting only delivers the number of isomers, the remaining disciplines refer to constructive methods. Enumeration typically encompasses exhaustive and non–redundant methods, while sampling typically lacks these char- acteristics. However, sampling methods are sometimes better suited to 25 solve real–world problems. There is a wide range of applications where counting, enumeration and sampling techniques are helpful or even essential. Some of these applications are closely linked to other chapters of this book. Counting techniques deliver pure chemical information, they can help to estimate 30 or even determine sizes of chemical databases or compound libraries obtained from combinatorial chemistry.

  • Methods of Enumeration of Microorganisms
    Microbiology BIOL 275 ENUMERATION OF MICROORGANISMS I. OBJECTIVES • To learn the different techniques used to count the number of microorganisms in a sample. • To be able to differentiate between different enumeration techniques and learn when each should be used. • To have more practice in serial dilutions and calculations. II. INTRODUCTION For unicellular microorganisms, such as bacteria, the reproduction of the cell reproduces the entire organism. Therefore, microbial growth is essentially synonymous with microbial reproduction. To determine rates of microbial growth and death, it is necessary to enumerate microorganisms, that is, to determine their numbers. It is also often essential to determine the number of microorganisms in a given sample. For example, the ability to determine the safety of many foods and drugs depends on knowing the levels of microorganisms in those products. A variety of methods has been developed for the enumeration of microbes. These methods measure cell numbers, cell mass, or cell constituents that are proportional to cell number. The four general approaches used for estimating the sizes of microbial populations are direct and indirect counts of cells and direct and indirect measurements of microbial biomass. Each method will be described in more detail below. 1. Direct Count of Cells Cells are counted directly under the microscope or by an electronic particle counter. Two of the most common procedures used in microbiology are discussed below. Direct Count Using a Counting Chamber Direct microscopic counts are performed by spreading a measured volume of sample over a known area of a slide, counting representative microscopic fields, and relating the averages back to the appropriate volume-area factors.

Hauskrecht 1 Basic counting rules • Counting problems may be hard, and easy solutions are not obvious • Approach: – simplify the solution by decomposing the problem • Two basic decomposition rules: – Product rule • A count decomposes into a sequence of dependent counts (“each element in the first count is associated with all elements of the second count”) – Sum rule • A count decomposes into a set of independent counts (“elements of counts are alternatives”) CS 441 Discrete mathematics for CS M. Hauskrecht Inclusion-Exclusion principle Used in counts where the decomposition yields two count tasks with overlapping elements • If we used the sum rule some elements would be counted twice Inclusion-exclusion principle: uses a sum rule and then corrects for the overlapping elements.

  • Counting and Sizes of Sets Learning Goals
    Counting and Sizes of Sets Learning goals: students determine how to tell when two sets are the same \size" and start looking at different sizes of sets. Two sets are called similar, written A ∼ B if there is a one-to-one and onto function whose domain is A and whose image is B. The function is a one-to-one correspondence and we call such functions bijections. Clearly the inverse of such a function is also such a function, so if A ∼ B then B ∼ A. Also, A ∼ A using the identity function. Other words often used for similar are equinumerous, equipollent, and equipotent. It shouldn't be too hard to prove that if A ∼ B and B ∼ C then A ∼ C. So similarity possesses the qualities of reflexivity, symmetry, and transitivity. We call such relationships equivalence relations. Equivalence relations seek to classify some kind of object. In this case, we are classifying sets by size, and all sets that a similar to A are the same size as A. The fancy word for \size" is cardinality. If n is a positive integer, a set A will have n elements in it if and only if A ∼ f1; 2; 3; : : : ; ng. (This actually requires some proof! We need to show that different values of n give sets that are not similar.) We also say that A has cardinal number n. It should be easy to prove that if f1; 2; : : : ; mg ∼ f1; 2; : : : ; ng then m = n. It should also be clear that if A ∼ ; then A = ;. The empty set will have cardinal number zero.

    Counting and Cardinality Core Guide Grade K Know number names and the counting sequence (Standards K.CC.1–3) Standard K.CC.1. Count to 100 by ones and by tens. Concepts and Skills to Master Understand there is an ordered sequence of counting numbers Say counting numbers in the correct sequence from 1 to 10 Say counting numbers in the correct sequence from 1 to 20 attending to how teen numbers are worded (see teacher note below) Say counting numbers in the correct sequence from 1 to 100 attending to the patterns of increasing by ones and tens (decade numbers) Say decade counting numbers in the correct sequence from 10 to 100 Teacher note: This standard does not require students to read or write numerals, only to verbalize them. While this standard only addresses rote counting, students may count along a number line to support standard K.CC.3. “Essentially, English-speaking children have to memorize the number names for numbers from 1 to 12. The teen numbers (13–19) have roots in the numbers from 3 to 9, which can provide some support for learning them, but there are quirks in the language. Fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, and nineteen essentially add teen (standing for ten) onto four, six, seven, eight, and nine. But thirteen and fifteen are a little different. As a consequence, some children may say “fiveteen” instead of “fifteen.” Interestingly, this seems to represent an attempt to make some sense of the counting sequence and may be made by children who have some insight at least into the patterns represented by the counting sequence and are trying to make sense of counting rather than just memorize a rote sequence of meaningless words.

  • MATH 1070Q Section 4.2: the Number of Elements in a Set
    MATH 1070Q Section 4.2: The Number of Elements in a Set Myron Minn-Thu-Aye University of Connecticut Objectives 1 Recognize when we are counting elements of sets that intersect 2 Develop and use formulas and/or Venn diagrams for these exercises. Counting elements in two sets that intersect A firm produced 100 watches, but only 90 had batteries installed, 84 had second hands installed, and 77 had both batteries and a second hand. How many of the watches had a battery, or a second hand, or both? Let B be the set of watches with batteries. Let S be the set of watches with second hands. We want the number of elements in the set B [ S, denoted n(B [ S). n(B) + n(S) counts n(B \ S) twice. So n(B [ S) = n(B) + n(S) − n(B \ S) = 90 + 84 − 77 = 97 In general, for any two sets A and B, n(A [ B) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A \ B). Counting double majors In a survey of students at the university, it is found that 371 students are majoring in chemistry, 228 students are majoring in history, and 575 are majoring in chemistry or history (or both). How many students are majoring in both chemistry and history? Let C be the set of students majoring in chemistry. Let H be the set of students majoring in history. We want to find n(C \ H).

  • 2.3 Infinite Sets and Cardinality
    2.3 Infinite sets and cardinality Recall from the last section that The cardinality of afinite set is defined as the number of elements in it. • Two setsA andB have the same cardinality if (and only if) it is possible to match each ele- • ment ofA to an element ofB in such a way that every element of each set has exactly one “partner” in the other set. Such a matching is called a bijective correpondence or one-to-one correspondence. A bijective correspondence betweenA andB may be expressed as a function fromA toB that assigns different elements ofB to all the elements ofA and “uses” all the elements ofB. A function that has these properties is called a bijection. In the case offinite sets, the second point above might seem to be overcomplicating the issue, since we can tell if twofinite sets have the same cardinality by just counting their elements and noting that they have the same number. The notion of bijective correspondence is emphasized for two reasons. First, as we saw in Example 2.2.9, it is occasionally possible to establish that twofinite sets are in bijective correspondence without knowing the cardinality of either of them. More importantly, we would like to develop some notion of cardinality for infinite sets aswell. We can’t count the number of elements in an infinite set. However, for a given pair of infinite sets, we could possibly show that it is or isn’t possible to construct a bijective correspondence between them. Definition 2.3.1. Suppose thatA andB are sets (finite or infinite).
