Show that this ratio of factorials is always an integer It might be worth mentioning Landau's theorem, digreg.mathguide.de/cgi-bin/ssgfi/…, which gives this argument in a much more general setting. |

Enumerating/counting paths of a given length on a 2D lattice It seems to me that this should be solvable by a straightforward application of Burnside's lemma. |

Cayley’s Theorem regarding marked trees Unlabeled (the usual term) trees are not impossible to count. They were first counted by Cayley (before he counted labeled trees, I believe). The numbers are A000055 in the OEIS. |

trigonometric identity needed for sums involving secants You can still try the partial fraction expansion, but it probably won't simplify as much. Is there any reason to think that there's a simple formula for this case? |

Distribution of distances in permutations You don't include abs(3-1) because 1 and 3 are not consecutive in (1,2,3). |

What is the cardinality of the family of unlabelled bipartite graphs on n vertices? The published version of this part of Li's thesis is I. M. Gessel and J. Li, Enumeration of point-determining graphs, J. Combinatorial Theory Ser. A 118 (2011), 691-612. But the formula we give in this paper for the cycle index series for bicolored graphs isn't really new, I don't think; certainly the formula for unlabeled bicolored graphs that you get from it isn't new (and this isn't the point of our paper). But the paper does have references to earlier work on this topic. |
