Algorithm for Finding the Coefficients
of Rook Polynomials
V. Longani
Abstract :
In solving problems on finding the number of arrangements of
n
objects with restrictions, it is usually required to find the
coefficients of certain
polynomials called rook polynomials. See [1], [2], and [3] f
or topics on rook poly-
nomials. It is not difficult to find these coefficients when
n
is not large. However,
when
n
becomes larger the calculation becomes laboring and less pr
actical. In
this paper, we propose a simple algorithm for finding these co
efficients. Also, this
algorithm can be modified for more general problems on rook po
lynomials
