Combinatorial Species#
This file defines the main classes for working with combinatorial species, operations on them, as well as some implementations of basic species required for other constructions.
This code is based on the work of Ralf Hemmecke and Martin Rubey’s Aldor-Combinat, which can be found at http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/hemmecke/aldor/combinat/index.html. In particular, the relevant section for this file can be found at http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/people/hemmecke/AldorCombinat/combinatse8.html.
Weighted Species:
As a first application of weighted species, we count unlabeled ordered trees by total number of nodes and number of internal nodes. To achieve this, we assign a weight of \(1\) to the leaves and of \(q\) to internal nodes:
sage: q = QQ['q'].gen()
sage: leaf = species.SingletonSpecies()
sage: internal_node = species.SingletonSpecies(weight=q)
sage: L = species.LinearOrderSpecies(min=1)
sage: T = species.CombinatorialSpecies(min=1)
sage: T.define(leaf + internal_node*L(T))
sage: T.isotype_generating_series()[0:6]
[0, 1, q, q^2 + q, q^3 + 3*q^2 + q, q^4 + 6*q^3 + 6*q^2 + q]
Consider the following:
sage: T.isotype_generating_series().coefficient(4)
q^3 + 3*q^2 + q
This means that, among the trees on \(4\) nodes, one has a single internal node, three have two internal nodes, and one has three internal nodes.
