The trajectory method in combinatorics and probability theory

N. A. Rashevsky

Krivoy Rog National University

Abstract: To solve a combinatorial or probabilistic problem, it is often advisable to use its geometric interpretation, reducing the problem to counting the number of paths (trajectories), with certain properties. This is the trajectory method.

Keywords: combinatorial problems, probabilistic problems, trajectory method, combinatorial structures, geometric interpretation of structures.
