Enumerating (multiplex) juggling sequences

Abstract

We consider the problem of enumerating periodic σ\sigma-juggling sequences of length nn for multiplex juggling, where σ\sigma is the initial state (or {\em landing schedule}) of the balls. We first show that this problem is equivalent to choosing 1's in a specified matrix to guarantee certain column and row sums, and then using this matrix, derive a recursion. This work is a generalization of earlier work of Fan Chung and Ron Graham.
