Gallager and Van Voorhis have found optimal prefix-free codes $\kappa(K)$ for a random variable $K$ that is geometrically distributed: $\Pr[K=k] = p(1-p)^k$ for $k\ge 0$. We determine the asymptotic behavior of the expected length ${\rm…

A partition polynomial is a refinement of the partition number p(n) whose coefficients count some special partition statistic. Just as partition numbers have useful asymptotics so do partition polynomials. In fact, their asymptotics…

We describe a dynamic programming algorithm for exact counting and exact uniform sampling of matrices with specified row and column sums. The algorithm runs in polynomial time when the column sums are bounded. Binary or non-negative integer…

We can generalize the definition of {\it splitting number } $s(\kappa )$ for $\kappa$ uncountable regular: $s(\kappa )=min\{ |\Cal S|:\Cal S\subset \Cal P(\kappa ) \forall a\in \kappa ^\kappa \exists b\in \Cal S |a\cap b|=|a\setminus…

Assume that $m,s\in\mathbb N$, $m>1$, while $f$ is a polynomial with integer coefficients, $\text{deg}~f>1$, $f^{(i)}$ is the $i$th iteration of the polynomial $f$, $\kappa_n$ has a discrete uniform distribution on the set $\{0,1,\ldots,m^n…

Let $p_n$ be the number of partitions of an integer $n$. For each of the partition statistics of counting their parts, ranks, or cranks, there is a natural family of integer polynomials. We investigate their asymptotics and the limiting…
