## Inclusion-Exclusion Principle Principle that dictates that when combining / overlapping sets, you have to make sure to not include elements that occur in multiple sets multiple times. ### Example: How many integers between $1$ and $10^6$ are of the form $x^2$ or $x^5$ for some $x in NN$? #### How many $x^2$? $sqrt(10^6) = 10^3 = 1.000$ #### How many $x^5$? By estimation: $$ &15^5 = 759,375 && "--- in the range / below" 10^6 \ &16^5 = 1,048,576 && "--- outside the range / above" 10^6 \ &=> 15 "numbers in the form "x^5"exist" && $$ > [!warning] > Now, we can't add $1,000$ and $15$, since there are numbers that match both, so we need to subtract these duplicates. #### How many $x^2$ and $x^5$ / $x^10$? $$ & 3^10 = 59,049 \ & 4^10 = 1,048,576 \ & => 3 "numbers that are both" x^2 "and" x^5 "exist" $$ #### Final calculation: Formula: $"Elements that are" x^2 + "Elements that are" x^5 - "Elements that are both"$ $==> 1,000 + 15 - 3 = 1,012$ ### For two sets $|"Total possibilities"| - |"Avoid 1"| - |"Avoid 2"| + |"Avoid Both"|$ Where - $"Avoid 1"$ are all elements *not matching* condition 1 - $"Avoid 2"$ are all elements *not matching* condition 2 - $"Avoid Both"$ are all elements *not matching* condition 1 **and** 2 ## Type of Task: Boolean Lattice Find the amount of upper bounds in ${0, 1}^5$ for the set of vectors $S = {x, y, z}$ $$ & x = (0, 1, 0, 0, 0) \ & y = (0, 0, 1, 0, 1) \ & z = (0, 1, 1, 0, 0) \ $$ > [!INFO] > Method used is called **All-Zero Column Method** We look for columns that have $0$'s in all three vectors: Column $1$ and $4$, that's $2$ columns, so we define $k = 2$. To get our result we calculate $2^k$ since there are only two possible states for each value $(0, 1)$: $2^2 = 4$. So we have **4** upper bounds in total. > [!INFO] > For the amount of lower bounds we'd check for all-ones columns
