Problem 106
For n=12, how many subset pairs need equality testing? Disjoint B,C with |B|=|C|=k>=2: need test iff the sorted pairing is not strictly componentwise ordered (Catalan-related). Count = C(n, 2k) * C(2k, k) / 2 * (1 - C_k / (C(2k,k)/(k+1 wait))) Number needing test for size k: C(n,2k) * (C(2k,k)/2 - C_{k-1}) where C_m is Catalan number = (1/(m+1))*C(2m,m), and for pairs: Need test count for equal size k: C(n,2k) * C(2k,k) * (k-1)/(2*(k+1))
