In mathematics, '''analytic combinatorics''' is one of the many techniques of [[enumerative combinatorics|counting combinatorial objects]]. It uses the internal structure of the objects to derive formulas for their [[generating function]]s, and then, it uses complex analysis techniques to get asymptotics. This particular theory iswas duemostly todevelopped by [[Philippe Flajolet]] ,
and is detailled in his book with [[Robert Sedgewick (computer scientist)|Robert Sedgewick]], ''Analytic Combinatorics''.
Many precursors of these ideas can be listed, among which [[Leonhard Euler]], [[Arthur Cayley]], [[Srinivasa Ramanujan]], [[George Pólya]], [[Donald Knuth]],...
