The starting point of this book is Sperner's theorem, which answers the question: What is the maximum possible size of a family of pairwise (with respect to inclusion) subsets of a finite set? This theorem stimulated the development of a fast growing theory dealing with external…
Emphasises the powerful methods arising from the fusion of combinatorial techniques with programming, linear algebra, and probability theory.
This book presents Sperner theory from a unified point of view, bringing combinatorial techniques together with methods from programming (flow theory and polyhedral combinatorics), from linear algebra (Jordan decompositions, Lie-algebra representations and eigenvalue methods), f…
