Garsia and Milne's bijective proof of the inclusion-exclusion principle
Although the following proof is implicit in Garsia and Milne's paper [I], it is scj elegant that we felt that it should be presented by itself for the benefit of the general mathematical public. The idea behind the proof was further exploited by Remmel [2] and Wilf [3]. Consider a set A of elements each of which possess a (possibly emptyj subset of the properties (1,. .. , n}. The inclusion-exc...
متن کاملThe Inclusion-Exclusion Principle for IF-States
Applying two definitions of the union of IF-events, P. Grzegorzewski gave two generalizations of the inclusion-exclusion principle for IF-events.In this paper we prove an inclusion-exclusion principle for IF-states based on a method which can also be used to prove Grzegorzewski's inclusion-exclusion principle for probabilities on IF-events.Finally, we give some applications of this principle by...

متن کاملCounting Problems and the Inclusion-Exclusion Principle
In this paper, we present improved techniques for computing and getting bounds on the cardinality of a union of sets using the inclusion-exclusion principle and Bonferroni inequalities. We organize the terms involved in the inclusionexclusion sum as a tree, showing that a set inclusion between a parent and its children yields a cancellation, where we may prune an entire subtree. Next, we provid...
