DiscreteMath`Combinatorica`

DiscreteMath`Combinatorica` extends Mathematica by over 230 functions in combinatorics and graph theory. It includes functions for constructing graphs and other combinatorial objects, computing invariants of these objects, and finally displaying them. The documentation provided here covers only a subset of these functions. Combinatorica is best described in Steven Skiena's book:

Implementing Discrete Mathematics: Combinatorics and Graph Theory in Mathematica, Advanced Book Division, Addison-Wesley, Redwood City CA, June 1990. ISBN number 0-201-50943-1. Japanese translation published by Toppan, Tokyo, July 1992. This book can be ordered on-line.
