Many combinatorial classes can be built using these elementary constructions. For example, the class of plane [[tree (graph)|tree]]s (that is, trees [[embedding|embedded]] in the plane, so that the order of the subtrees matters) is specified by the [[recursion|recursive]] relation
 
:<math>\mathcal{G} = \mathcal{Z} \times \mathfrakoperatorname{GSEQ}\{\mathcal{G}\}.</math>
 
In other words, a tree is a root node of size 1 and a sequence of subtrees. This gives
Line 259:
Another example (and a classic combinatorics problem) is [[integer partition]]s. First, define the class of positive integers <math>\mathcal{I}</math>, where the size of each integer is its value:
 
:<math>\mathcal{I} = \mathcal{Z} \times \mathfrakoperatorname{GSEQ}\{\mathcal{Z}\}</math>
 
The OGF of <math>\mathcal{I}</math> is then
Line 267:
Now, define the set of partitions <math>\mathcal{P}</math> as
 
:<math>\mathcal{P} = \mathfrakoperatorname{MMSET}\{\mathcal{I}\}. </math>
 
The OGF of <math>\mathcal{P}</math> is
