Generalized Sequential-Selection Formula for Structured Digit Permutations

This paper introduces a unified sequential-selection formula for calculating the total number of N-digit positive integers with specific structural digit frequencies (e.g., AABB, AAAB, AABBCC). By integrating sequential digit choices (9 \times 9 \times 8 \dots), multiset permutations, and a symmetry-reduction factor \frac{1}{k!}, the proposed method simplifies counting across equal-frequency digit roles. This approach handles both multiset role symmetry and leading-zero exclusions in a single calculation, eliminating the need for extensive case analysis. Includes detailed derivations, worked examples, and a summary reference table.
