Introduction: Combinatorial Chemistry

Combinatorial chemistry

Combinatorial chemistry, which did not even exist fifteen years ago, is a new subfield of chemistry that is starting to provide insights into molecular interactions, biochemical catalysis and drug development. Instead of finding and testing naturally existing compounds for useful activity, the basic aim of combinatorial chemistry studies is to create vast numbers of new, synthetic compounds and...

Concepts of Combinatorial Chemistry and Combinatorial Technologies

Combinatorial Chemistry and Combinatorial Technology (CC/CT) are a new interdisciplinary field joining computerassisted combinatorial chemistry with automated parallel synthesis of chemical ìlibrariesî followed by automated screening. The main purpose of computer assisted combinatorial chemistry is to generate thousands structurally diverse compounds as libraries, maximising their diversity, wh...

Introduction to Combinatorial Maps

Preface Maps as a mathematical main topic arose probably from the four color problem[Ore1] and the more general map coloring problem[Rin1] in the mid of the nineteenth century. I could not list even main references on them because it is well known for mathematicians and beyond the scope of this lecture notes. Here, I only intend to present a comprehensive theory of combinatorial maps as a rigor...

Introduction to Combinatorial Auctions

Combinatorial auctions are those auctions in which bidders can place bids on combinations of items, called “packages,” rather than just individual items. The study of combinatorial auctions is inherently interdisciplinary. Combinatorial auctions are in the first place auctions, a topic extensively studied by economists. Package bidding brings in operations research, especially techniques from c...
