| Ziele |
In this lecture basic skills and techniques will be elaborated which are relevant to simplify formulas related to enumeration. Special emphasis is put on tools that support the student for the analysis of algorithms (best case, worst case and average case). In particular, the participant gets acquainted to apply these computer algebra tools to non-trivial examples.
|
| Lehrinhalte |
The content of the lecture can be summarized by the following key words:
- algorithmic treatment of formal power series;
- c-finite and holonomic functions/sequences;
- recurrence solving;
- basic aspects of asymptotics;
- symbolic summation.
A major emphasis of the lecture is to present the basic notions, to develop the basic ideas of the underlying algorithms and to put computer algebra into action for concrete examples.
