What is the pigeonhole principle To define pigeonhole principle, it is essential to know that it is a powerful tool utilized in Combinatorial Mathematics.

Our main result is that the Pigeonhole Principle cannot be proved this way, if the size of the proof (the total number or symbols of the formulae in the sequence) is polynomial in n and each formula is constant depth (unlimited fan-in), polynomial size and contains only the variables of PHP n. That is, a sequence of Boolean formulae can be given so that each one is either an axiom of the propositional calculus or a consequence of some of the previous ones according to an inference rule of the propositional calculus, and the last one is PHP n. PHP n can be proved in the propositional calculus. We may think that the truth-value of the variable x i,j will be true iff the function maps the i-th element of the first set to the j-th element of the second (see Cook and Rechkow ). This statement can be formulated as an unlimited fan-in constant depth polynomial size Boolean formula PHP n in n(n−1) variables. Then there are five computers that are used by a total of 20 or more students and there are five computers used by a total of at most 15 students.The Pigeonhole Principle for n is the statement that there is no one-to-one function between a set of size n and a set of size n−1. There are 42 students who are to share 12 computers. However, GPP can be used to prove the following statement:
If we removed the condition that no computer is used by more than six students, then the conclusion is not necessarily true anymore. Then at least five computers are used by three or more students. Each student uses exactly one computer and no computer is used by more than six students. In Dijkstra's article referenced above, the following statement can be proved using EPP: Pigeonhole-principle definition: (mathematics) A theorem which states that there does not exist an injective function on finite sets whose codomain is. The GPP allows us to show that out of 367 people not born on a leapday, one can find 2 dates and 4 people whose birthday falls on one of these 2 dates. (GPPb) If nk+ s or fewer objects are placed in n boxes, then for each 0 ≤ m ≤ n there exist m boxes with a total of at most mk + max (0,s+m-n) objects The pigeonhole principle and its generalizations Pigeonhole Principle (PP) If n+1 objects are placed in n boxes, then one of the boxes must contain more than 1.
