inclusion-exclusion formula and Mobius inversion formula

1.2k Views Asked by At

Could any one explain to me what is the Mobius inversion formula and what is it connection with the principle of inclusion and exclusion?

My understanding is that Mobuis inversion formula can find the inverse of a function using algebraic subtraction/addition in a similar way as the inclusion-exclusion formula doing adding/subtraction.

if this is correct my next question is how do people find the Mobius inverse function?
