The article contains some important classes of multisets. Combinatorial proofs of problems on the number of m-submultisets and m-permutations of multiset elements are considered and effective algorithms for their calculation are given. In…
We prove that, for positive integers $n,a_1, a_2, a_3$ satisfying $a_1+a_2+a_3 = n-1$, it holds that any bipartite graph $G$ which is the union of three perfect matchings $M_1$, $M_2$, and $M_3$ on $2n$ vertices contains a matching $M$ such…
Given a collection $L$ of line segments, we consider its arrangement and study the problem of covering all cells with line segments of $L$. That is, we want to find a minimum-size set $L'$ of line segments such that every cell in the…
For $k\geq i\geq 1$, let $B_{k,i}(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ such that part 1 appears at most $i-1$ times, two consecutive integers l and $l+1$ appear at most $k-1$ times and if l and $l+1$ appear exactly $k-1$ times then…
Let $\mathbb{D}$ be a division ring and $\mathbb{F}$ be a subfield of the center of $\mathbb{D}$ over which $\mathbb{D}$ has finite dimension $d$. Let $n,p,r$ be positive integers and $\mathcal{V}$ be an affine subspace of the…
An almost self-conjugate (ASC) partition has a Young diagram in which each arm along the diagonal is exactly one box longer than its corresponding leg. Classically, the ASC partitions and their conjugates appear in two of Littlewood's…
Motivated by Alladi's recent multi-dimensional generalization of Sylvester's classical identity, we provide a simple combinatorial proof of an overpartition analogue, which contains extra parameters tracking the numbers of overlined parts…
Usual relations between entities could be captured using graphs; but those of a higher-order -- more so between two different types of entities (which we term "left" and "right") -- calls for a "bipartite hypergraph". For example, given a…
A dessin is a 2-cell embedding of a connected $2$-coloured bipartite graph into an orientable closed surface. A dessin is regular if its group of orientation- and colour-preserving automorphisms acts regularly on the edges. In this paper we…
Euler's partition identity states that the number of partitions of $n$ into odd parts is equal to the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts. Strikingly, Straub proved in 2016 that this identity also holds when counting partitions…
The celebrated Rogers-Ramanujan identities equate the number of integer partitions of $n$ ($n\in\mathbb N_0$) with parts congruent to $\pm 1 \pmod{5}$ (respectively $\pm 2 \pmod{5}$) and the number of partitions of $n$ with super-distinct…
We study the behavior of multidegrees in families and the existence of numerical criteria to detect integral dependence. We show that mixed multiplicities of modules are upper semicontinuous functions when taking fibers and that projective…
Each partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1, \lambda_2, ..., \lambda_n)$ determines a so-called Ferrers tableau or, equivalently, a Ferrers bipartite graph. Its edge ideal, dubbed Ferrers ideal, is a squarefree monomial ideal that is generated by…
We prove an elementary multilinear identity for the Fourier extension operator on $\mathbb{R}^n$, generalising to higher dimensions the classical bilinear extension identity in the plane. In the particular case of the extension operator…
In the classic "Concrete Math", by Graham, Patashnik and Knuth, it is stated that "The numbers in Pascal's triangle satisfy, practically speaking, infinitely many identities, so it is not too surprising that we can find some surprising…
We propose a method to construct a variety of partition identities at once. The main application is an all-moduli generalization of some of Andrews' results in [5]. The novelty is that the method constructs solutions to functional equations…
We introduce a new notation for representing labeled regular bipartite graphs of arbitrary degree. Several enumeration problems for labeled and unlabeled regular bipartite graphs have been introduced. A general algorithm for enumerating all…
Consider the subset of a Weyl group with a fixed descent set. For Weyl groups of classical types, we determine the number of two-sided cells this subset intersect. Moreover, we apply this result to prove that certain rational Whittaker…
For a hypergraph $H$ let $\beta(H)$ denote the minimal number of edges from $H$ covering $V(H)$. An edge $S$ of $H$ is said to represent {\em fairly} (resp. {\em almost fairly}) a partition $(V_1,V_2, \ldots, V_m)$ of $V(H)$ if $|S\cap…
We address the following question: When a randomly chosen regular bipartite multi--graph is drawn in the plane in the ``standard way'', what is the distribution of its maximum size planar matching (set of non--crossing disjoint edges) and…
