Abstract
This paper introduces the unique counting structures introduced by Chinnaraji Annamalai, specifically focusing on what he terms the Annamalai Binomial Coefficient and the resulting power series known as the Combinatorial Geometric Series (CGS). The coefficient is demonstrated to be mathematically equivalent to a widely recognized form of the standard binomial coefficient, often used in problems involving choices with repetition. The study highlights how the CGS, which is constructed through the process of multiple, iterative summations of the basic geometric series, acts as a powerful generating function for this sequence of coefficients. For an infinite series, the resulting closed-form expression is a remarkably simple reciprocal power of the factor (one minus the variable). Furthermore, the framework provides clear formulas for the product of multiple finite geometric series, detailing how a key part of the numerator acts to effectively truncate the infinite series, thereby ensuring the result accurately reflects the finite limits of the original problem. By emphasizing these explicit recursive counting relationships, Annamalai's combinatorial system provides a valuable computational tool for established counting results and offers practical applications in modern technological domains like cybersecurity and machine learning.
