This book is devoted to the study of multivariate discrete q-distributions, which is greatly facilitated by existing multivariate q-sequences and q-functions. Classical multivariate discrete distributions are defined on a sequence of independent and identically distributed Bernoulli trials, with either being a success of a certain rank (level) or a failure. The author relaxes the assumption that the probability of success of a trial is constant by assuming that it varies geometrically with the number of trials and/or the number of successes. The latter is advantageous in the sense that it permits incorporating the experience gained from the previous trials and/or successes, which leads to multivariate discrete q-distributions. Furthermore, q-multinomial and negative q-multinomial formulae are obtained. Next, the book addresses q-multinomial and negative q-multinomial distributions of the first and second kind. The author also examines multiple q-Polya urn model, multivariate q-Polya and inverse q-Polya distributions. Presents definitions and theorems that highlight key concepts and worked examples to illustrate the various applicationsContains numerous exercises at varying levels of difficulty that consolidate the presented concepts and resultsIncludes hints and answers to all exercises via the appendix and is supplemented with an Instructor's Solution Manual

Enumerative Combinatorics provides systematic coverage of the theory of enumeration. The author first lays a foundation with basic counting principles and techniques and elementary classical enumerative topics, then proceeds to more advanced topics, including the partition polynomials, Stirling numbers, and the Eulerian numbers of generalized binomials. The text is supported by remarks and discussions, numerous tables, exercises, and a wealth of examples that illustrate the concepts, theorems, and applications of the subject. Designed to serve as a text for upper-level and graduate students, this book will be useful and enlightening to anyone who uses combinatorial methods.
