What is the geometric intuition behind Wilf-Zeilberger theory?

This problem is somehow inspired by a bunch of impressive posts of combinatorial identities by T. Amdeberhan. Earlier this month I learnt from computer scientists that they have a generic algorithmic ...

Disjoint Rooted Paths with Specified Patterns

Let $S:=$ { $s_i : i \in [k]$ } and $T:=$ { $t_i : i \in [k]$ } be disjoint subsets of vertices of a graph $G$. Furthermore, let $A$ be a subset of $S_k$ (the symmetric group on $[k]$). A set of ...

Automated, algorithmic construction of bijective proofs of combinatorial identities

Let $a_n$ and $b_n$ be two different expressions in natural $n$ with values in the set of all nonnegative integers such that we have the identity $a_n=b_n$ for all $n$. As a simplest example, we may ...

maximal sets of vertices that avoids a clique

I am looking for some known algorithm that finds, for a given graph, all the maximal sets of vertices that avoid a clique of some given size $k$. I'd prefer one written in MATLAB, but other languages ...

Maximum nonintersecting interval pick

This surely has been solved in the context of scheduling already! (Shall I ask on some computer SE instead?) Assume we have a set of closed "intervals" on $\mathbb Z$ ($\mathbb R$ isn't ...
