Analytic combinatorics uses techniques from complex analysis to solve problems in enumerative combinatorics, specifically to find asymptotic estimates for the coefficients of generating functions. == History == One of the earliest uses of analytic techniques for an enumeration problem came from Srinivasa Ramanujan and G. H. Hardy's work on integer partitions, starting in 1918, first using a Tauberian theorem and later the circle method.
