This note contains two results on the distribution of crossing numbers and nesting numbers in permutations of type B. More precisely, we prove a Bn- analogue of the symmetric distribution of crossings and nestings of permutations due to…

We define and consider k-distant crossings and nestings for matchings and set partitions, which are a variation of crossings and nestings in which the distance between vertices is important. By modifying an involution of Kasraoui and Zeng…

We present results on the enumeration of crossings and nestings for matchings and set partitions. Using a bijection between partitions and vacillating tableaux, we show that if we fix the sets of minimal block elements and maximal block…

We introduce the notion of crossings and nestings of a permutation. We compute the generating function of permutations with a fixed number of weak exceedances, crossings and nestings. We link alignments and permutation patterns to these…

The equidistribution of many crossing and nesting statistics exists in several combinatorial objects like matchings, set partitions, permutations, and embedded labelled graphs. The involutions switching nesting and crossing numbers for set…

Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley, and Yan introduced the notion of $k$-crossings and $k$-nestings for set partitions, and proved that the sizes of the largest $k$-crossings and $k$-nestings in the partitions of an $n$-set possess a symmetric joint…

We give a correspondence between graphs with a given degree sequence and fillings of Ferrers diagrams by nonnegative integers with prescribed row and column sums. In this setting, k-crossings and k-nestings of the graph become occurrences…

Non-crossing and non-nesting permutations are variations of the well-known Stirling permutations. A permutation $\pi$ on $\{1,1,2,2,\ldots, n,n\}$ is called non-crossing if it avoids the crossing patterns $\{1212,2121\}$ and is called…

In this paper we study $k$-noncrossing matchings. A $k$-noncrossing matching is a labeled graph with vertex set $\{1,...,2n\}$ arranged in increasing order in a horizontal line and vertex-degree 1. The $n$ arcs are drawn in the upper…

We show that the bistatistic of right nestings and right crossings in matchings without left nestings is equidistributed with the number of occurrences of two certain patterns in permutations, and furthermore that this equidistribution…

We construct an involution on set partitions which keeps track of the numbers of crossings, nestings and alignments of two edges. We derive then the symmetric distribution of the numbers of crossings and nestings in partitions, which…

A set of permutations $I \subset S_n$ is said to be {\em k-intersecting} if any two permutations in $I$ agree on at least $k$ points. We show that for any $k \in \mathbb{N}$, if $n$ is sufficiently large depending on $k$, then the largest…

For a fixed integer $k$, we consider the set of noncrossing partitions, where both the block sizes and the difference between adjacent elements in a block is $1\bmod k$. We show that these $k$-indivisible noncrossing partitions can be…

Schutzenberger's theorem for the ordinary RSK correspondence naturally extends to Chen et. al's correspondence for matchings and partitions. Thus the counting of bilaterally symmetric $k$-noncrossing partitions naturally arises as an…

We give a parity reversing involution on noncrossing trees that leads to a combinatorial interpretation of a formula on noncrossing trees and symmetric ternary trees in answer to a problem proposed by Hough. We use the representation of…

The notion of $r$-crossing and $r$-nesting of a complete matching was introduced and a symmetry property was proved by Chen et al. [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 359 (2007) 1555-1575]. We consider random matchings of large size and study their…

Motivated by recent results on quasi-Stirling permutations, which are permutations of the multiset $\{1,1,2,2,\dots,n,n\}$ that avoid the "crossing" patterns 1212 and 2121, we consider nonnesting permutations, defined as those that avoid…

A tangled-diagram over $[n]=\{1,...,n\}$ is a graph of degree less than two whose vertices $1,...,n$ are arranged in a horizontal line and whose arcs are drawn in the upper halfplane with a particular notion of crossings and nestings.…

In this thesis, we introduced and carried out a combinatorial study of permutations that avoid one or two patterns of length 3 according to the statistic number of crossings. For this purpose, we manipulated a bijection of Elizalde and Pak…

Let R(n,k) denote the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} with k alternating runs. We find a grammatical description of the numbers R(n,k) and then present several convolution formulas involving the generating function for the numbers…
