Re: Generating Functions

Maybe we can use something like adjoint?

Re: Generating Functions

I forget that one every once in a while. Like a permanent but aren't they hard to compute?

Re: Generating Functions

Whoops that is not what I meant. I have a little problem with tachnical matrix terms.

Couldn't we just add another column at each iteration?

Re: Generating Functions

It is getting too unwieldy. If we needed the 1000th level that matrix would be huge.

Re: Generating Functions

I meant with a matrix.

Here's another topic:"Do you know any uses of exponental GFs in math problems? Show  example."
