Linear chord diagrams with long chords

Combinatorics 2016-11-10 v1

Abstract

A linear chord diagram of size nn is a partition of the set {1,2,,2n}\{1,2,\cdots,2n\} into sets of size two, called chords. From a table showing the number of linear chord diagrams of degree nn such that every chord has length at least kk, we observe that if we proceed far enough along the diagonals, they are given by a geometric sequence. We prove that this holds for all diagonals, and identify when the effect starts.
