Day 24: Stars and bars with another restriction: when you want to have an item at least r times.

In this video, we continue exploring the Stars and Bars technique with an important restriction: one of the variables must be at least 2 ⭐⭐⭐

We solve counting problems of the form

x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_r = n

with the condition that one of the x_i’s satisfies x_i \ge 2.
Using a simple substitution trick, we transform the problem into a standard Stars and Bars problem and count the number of valid solutions.

A powerful combinatorics technique for counting constrained distributions! ✨
