A combinatorial formula for Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomials. (English) Zbl 0836.20054

The author gives a simple nonrecursive combinatorial formula for any Kazhdan-Lusztig polynomial of any Coxeter group and some applications of it. The main idea is that of extending the concept of the \(R\)-polynomial to any (finite) multichain of \(W\).
