I haven’t read this carefully yet but I’m initially skeptical that it’s that easy.

  From the abstract: > The approach uses a singularity analysis of generating functions for particular sets of maps, and Tutte's enumerative and asymptotic work on planar maps and their chromatic polynomials Err yeah, so easy...

    That quote is so dense with words that individually are old friends, but paired up that way are as strangers to me.

      That was a surprisingly prosaic way to communicate this feeling, are you by chance a writer? If not, you should write more!

        Of writing, prosaic means unpoetic, i.e. dull.
        • mkaic 4y ago
          Oh, my mistake! I've always (incorrectly) thought it meant "being prose-ful" or "reminiscent of poetic prose". My intention was to compliment @burnished's writing :P

        He might just be Buster Scruggs' less melodious & more bookish brother.

    Flajolet and Sedgewick have a nice book on Analytic Combinatorics that covers this

      I highly recommend that book; it can be dense, but it is a treasure trove of information.
