Automated Enumeration of Combinatorial Classes with Proof-Number Search

Submitted 2019

Ragnar, Henning and Yngvi

PNS vs. BFS Enumerative combinatorics has traditionally been the domain of work for human mathematicians and has been applied, for instance with the probabilistic method, in computer science. One of the main problems in enumerative combinatorics is the counting of combinatorial classes, and in recent years, efforts have been made to write algorithms to solve such problems. We show that these automated methods may benefit from the application of already mature AI algorithms, such as Proof-Number Search.
