Inclusion-Exclusion-Bonferroni Identities and Inequalities for Discrete Tube-Like Problems via Euler Characteristics

Inclusion-Exclusion-Bonferroni Identities and Inequalities for Discrete Tube-Like Problems via Euler Characteristics

Improvements to the classical inclusion-exclusion identity are developed. There are two main results: an abstract combinatoric result and a concrete geometric result. In the abstract result conditions are given which guarantee the existence of a depth $d + 1$ identity or inequality for the indicator function of a union of …
