Möbius-Funktionen, Inzidenzalgebren und Potenzreihendarstellungen

Abstract. "Möbius functions" appear in different forms in combinatorics. The algebraic setting for the "Möbius inversion" is the "incidence algebra". We survey a general theory of incidence algebras, and indicate several applications.
