Enumerative Combinatorics

Enumerative Combinatorics

Enumerative combinatorics, while primarily motivated by counting problems, concerns the study of structures and their representations that have proven useful in an enumerative context. Our interests lie in several of the main topics in enumerative combinatorics, such as permutations and their representations, partially ordered sets, theory of partitions, Young tableaux, symmetric functions and q-analogues in combinatorics, such as q-(poly)matroids, subspace designs, and invariants of codes. Another source of motivation for our work is the combinatorics that arises in number theory, coding theory and statistical physics.
