Large language model improves on efforts to solve combinatorics problems inspired by the card game Set.

Computer scientists made progress on a decades-old puzzle in a subfield of mathematics known as combinatorics.

The mathematician Ben Green of the University of Oxford has made a major stride toward understanding a nearly 100-year-old combinatorics problem, showing that a well-known recent conjecture is “not ...

A team of four prominent mathematicians, including two Fields medalists, proved a conjecture described as a “holy grail of additive combinatorics.” Within a month, a loose collaboration verified it ...

The study of alternating sign matrices (ASMs) occupies a central position in enumerative combinatorics, linking intricate algebraic methods with models from statistical physics. ASMs are square ...

The beginnings of combinatorics in India date back to Bharata's Natyasastra and the last chapter of the work Chandahsastra (Sanskrit Prosody) by Pingala (c. 300 BCE). Pingala deals in a few ...
