Pólya enumeration theorem 波利亚计数定理
(重定向自Enumeration theorem)
The Pólya enumeration theorem, also known as the Redfield–Pólya Theorem, is a theorem in combinatorics that both follows from and ultimately generalizes Burnside's lemma on the number of orbits of a group action on a set. The theorem was first published by John Howard Redfield in 1927. In 1937 it was independently rediscovered by George Pólya, who then greatly popularized the result by applying it to many counting problems, in particular to the enumeration of chemical compounds.
