Keywords: Stanley, Enumerative Combinatorics, Integer Sequences, Concordance

  • For a long time I (njas) have had the idea of making a series of concordances which would list the integer sequences to be found in certain classical books (Riordan, Comtet, Harary and Palmer, Knuth, Graham-Knuth-Patashnik, etc.). Here is the first of these, a concordance to
    Richard P. Stanley's Enumerative Combinatorics
    Vol. 1, Wadsworth, 1986; Vol. 2, Cambridge, 1999
  • The idea is that when you are reading one of these books, these files will give pointers to the On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences whenever an interesting sequence is mentioned. This will enable you to see the terms of the sequence, recurrences, formulae, other references, links, most recent progress, etc.
  • Furthermore, the preparation of these concordances will supply additional sequences for the database, and additional references for existing sequences.
  • Only the first half of Volume 2 of Stanley has been dealt with in any thoroughness so far. Suggestions for additional entries mentioning sequences described in either volume will be welcomed. Either edit this page, or send suggestions to Neil Sloane at this address: njasloane@gmail.com
  • See also the home page for Stanley's Enumerative Combinatorics which among many other things has a list of corrections.
  • Thanks to Valery Liskovets (liskov@im.bas-net.by) for comments on Problem 5.13 of Volume 2.
  • For the current list of these concordances, see here.
