Enumerate

To enumerate a set of objects satisfying some set of properties means to explicitly produce a listing of all such objects. The problem of determining or counting all such solutions is known as the enumeration problem.

A generating function

F(x)=sum_(n)a_nx^n

is said to enumerate a_n (Hardy 1999, p. 85).
