§5.1 The Basics of counting  A counting problem: (Example 15) Each user on a computer system has a password, which is six to eight characters long, where each characters is an uppercase letter or a digit. Each password must contain at least one digit. How many possible passwords are there?  This section introduces • a variety of other counting problems • the basic techniques of counting.

n1 n2 n1 + n2 ways Basic counting principles  The sum rule: If a first task can be done in n1 ways and a second task in n2 ways, and if these tasks cannot be done at the same time. then there are n1+n2ways to do either task. Example 11 Suppose that either a member of faculty or a student is chosen as a representative to a university committee. How many different choices are there for this representative if there are 37 members of the faculty and 83 students?

n1 n1 × n2 ways n2 Example 12 A student can choose a computer project from one of three lists. The three lists contain 23, 15 and 19 possible projects respectively. How many possible projects are there to choose from? Sol:23+15+19=57 projects.  The product rule: Suppose that a procedure can be broken down into two tasks. If there are n1 ways to do the first task and n2 ways to do the second task after the first task has been done, then there are n1 n2 ways to do the procedure.

Example 2 The chair of an auditorium (大禮堂) is to be labeled with a letter and a positive integer not exceeding 100. What is the largest number of chairs that can be labeled differently? Sol:26 × 100 = 2600 ways to label chairs. letter Example 4 How many different bit strings are there of length seven? Sol:123456 7 □ □ □ □ □ □ □ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ 0,1 0,1 0,1 . . . . . . 0,1 → 27種

Sol: □ □ □ □ □ □ →263．103 letter digit Example 6 How many functions are there from a set with m elements to one with n elements? Sol:f(a1)=?可以是b1～ bn, 共n種 f(a2)=?可以是b1～ bn, 共n種： f(am)=?可以是b1～ bn, 共n種 ∴nm

Example 7 How many one-to-one functions are there from a set with melements to one with n element? (m  n) Sol:f(a1) = ?可以是b1～ bn, 共 n 種 f(a2) = ?可以是b1～ bn, 但不能=f(a1), 共 n-1 種 f(a3) = ?可以是b1～ bn, 但不能=f(a1), 也不能=f(a2), 共 n-2 種：： f(am) = ?不可=f(a1), f(a2), ... , f(am-1), 故共n-(m-1)種 ∴共 n．(n-1)．(n-2)．...．(n-m+1)種 1-1 function #

Example 15 Each user on a computer system has a password which is 6 to 8 characters long, where each character is an uppercase letter or a digit. Each password must contain at least one digit. How many possible passwords are there? Sol:Pi :# of possible passwords of length i , i=6,7,8 P6 = 366 - 266 P7 = 367 - 267 P8 = 368 - 268 ∴ P6+ P7+ P8= 366 + 367 + 368 -266- 267 - 268種

Example 14 In a version of Basic, the name of a variable is a string of one or two alphanumeric characters, where uppercase and lowercase letters are not distinguished. Moreover, a variable name must begin with a letter and must be different from the five strings of two characters that are reserved for programming use. How many different variable names are there in this version of Basic? Sol: Let Vibe the number of variable names of length i. V1 =26 V2 =26．36 – 5 ∴26 + 26．36 – 5 different names.

§5.2 The Pigeonhole Principle (鴿籠原理) Theorem 1 (The Pigeonhole Principle) Ifk+1 or more objects are placed into k boxes, then there is at least one box containing two or more of the objects. Proof Suppose that none of thek boxes contains more than one object. Then the total number of objects would be at most k. This is a contradiction. Example 1. Among any 367 people, there must be at least two with the same birthday, because there are only 366 possible birthdays.

Example 2 In any group of 27 English words, there must be at least two that begin with the same letter. Example 3 How many students must be in a class to guarantee that at least two students receive the same score on the final exam ? (0~100 points) Sol:102. (101+1) Theorem 2. (The generalized pigeon hole principle) If Nobjects are placed into k boxes, then there is at least one box containing at least objects. e.g. 21 objects, 10 boxes  there must be one box containing at least objects.

The sequence 8, 11, 9, 1, 4, 6, 12, 10, 5, 7 contains 10=32+1 terms (i.e., n=3). There is a strictly increasing subsequence of length four, namely, 1, 4, 5, 7. There is also a decreasing subsequence of length 4, namely, 11, 9, 6, 5. Exercise 21 Construct a sequence of 16 positive integers that has no increasing or decreasing subsequence of 5 terms.

How many possible orders can the saleswoman use when visiting these cities ? Sol:

Then {1, 3, 4} is a 3-combination from S. Theorem 2 The number of r-combinations of a set with n elements, where n is a positive integer and r is an integer with , equals pf :
