Mesas of Stirling permutations

Combinatorics 2023-06-22 v1

Abstract

Given a Stirling permutation w, we introduce the mesa set of w as the natural generalization of the pinnacle set of a permutation. Our main results characterize admissible mesa sets and give closed enumerative formulas in terms of rational Catalan numbers by providing an explicit bijection between mesa sets and rational Dyck paths.
