Probabilistic Methods in Combinatorial Analysis, Paperback by Sachkov, Vladimir N., ISBN 0521172772, ISBN-13 9780521172776, Like New Used, Free shipping in the USThis work explores the role of probabilistic methods for solving combinatorial problems. These methods not only provide the means of efficiently using ideas from probability theory but also let us use the powerful technique of limit theorems. The author pays special attention to using probabilistic methods to obtain asymptotic formulae that are difficult to derive using combinatorial is an important book, describing many ideas not previously available in English; the author has taken the chance to rewrite parts of the text and refresh the references where appropriate.
