متن کاملBalls in Boxes: Variations on a Theme of Warren Ewens and Herbert Wilf
Each one of r students has to choose from n different parallel Calculus sections, taught by different professors. Although each professor expects to get R := r/n students signing-up, most likely, many of them would receive less, and many of them would receive more. Suppose that Prof. Niles, the most “popular” professor got as many as m+ 1 students, is Prof. Niles justified in assuming that she ...
متن کاملPartitions with Distinct Multiplicities of Parts: On An "Unsolved Problem" Posed By Herbert Wilf
Wilf’s Sixth Unsolved Problem asks for any interesting properties of the set of partitions of integers for which the (nonzero) multiplicities of the parts are all different. We refer to these as Wilf partitions. Using f(n) to denote the number of Wilf partitions, we establish lead-order asymptotics for ln f(n).
متن کاملAsymptotic Rational Approximation To Pi: Solution of an “Unsolved Problem” Posed By Herbert Wilf
The webpage of Herbert Wilf describes eight Unsolved Problems. Here, we completely resolve the third of these eight problems. The task seems innocent: find the first term of the asymptotic behavior of the coefficients of an ordinary generating function, whose coefficients naturally yield rational approximations to π. Upon closer examination, however, the analysis is fraught with difficulties. F...

Dancing at gunpoint. A review of Herbert Gintis's The bounds of reason: game theory and the unification of the behavioral sciences. The bounds of reason seeks to accomplish many things. It introduces epistemic game theory, discusses other-regarding preferences in games, offers an evolutionary model of property rights, and proposes a plan to unify the behavioural sciences. Most notably, it is a ...
