Various tricks and techniques are taught by means of exercises. Hints are given in a separate section and a third section contains all solutions in detail. A dictionary section gives definitions of the combinatorial notions occurring in the book.
Combinatorial Problems and Exercises was first published in 1979. This revised edition has the same basic structure but has been brought up to date with a series of exercises on random walks on graphs and their relations to eigenvalues, expansion properties and electrical resistance. In various chapters the author found lines of thought that have been extended in a natural and significant way in recent years. About 60 new exercises (more counting sub-problems) have been added and several solutions have been simplified.
Basic enumeration. The sieve. Permutations. Two classical enumeration problems in graph theory. Parity and duality. Connectivity. Factors of graphs. Independent sets of points. Chromatic number. Extremal problems for graphs. Spectra of graphs and random walks. Automorphisms of graphs. Hypergraphs. Ramsey Theory. Reconstruction. Dictionary of the combinatorial phrases and concepts used. Notation. Index of the abbreviations of textbooks and monographs. Subject index. Author index.
