It also presents various tools and approaches that are applicable to other areas of enumerative combinatorics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter a historical perspective on research in the area, the text introduces techniques to solve recurrence relations, including iteration and generating functions. It then focuses on enumeration of basic statistics for compositions. The text goes on to present results on pattern avoidance for subword, subsequence, and generalized patterns in compositions and then applies these results to words. The authors also cover automata, the ECO method, generating trees, and asymptotic results via random compositions and complex analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHighlighting both established and new results, this book explores numerous tools for enumerating patterns in compositions and words.
