A GENERALIZATION OF A COMBINATORIAL PROBLEM OF SMIRNOV.

Abstract

In 1966 N.V. Smirnov proposed the following combinatorial problem: given n objects of s+1 classes; how many ways can the n objects be arranged in a chain so that adjacent objects belong to separate classes. In 1967, O.V. Sarmanov and V.K. Zaharov derived some asympotic results on this problem. The present paper extends and generalizes this work.
