We introduce an algorithm to determine when a sorting operation, such as stack-sort or bubble-sort, outputs a given pattern. The algorithm provides a new proof of the description of West-2-stack-sortable permutations, that is permutations…
We consider the avoidance of patterns in inversion sequences that relate sorting via sorting machines including data structures such as pop stacks and stacks. Such machines have been studied under a variety of additional constraints and…
Isomorphisms p between pattern classes A and B are considered. It is shown that, if p is not a symmetry of the entire set of permutations, then, to within symmetry, A is a subset of one a small set of pattern classes whose structure,…
Pattern avoidance classes of permutations that cannot be expressed as unions of proper subclasses can be described as the set of subpermutations of a single bijection. In the case that this bijection is a permutation of the natural numbers…
A pattern class is a set of permutations closed under the formation of subpermutations. Such classes can be characterised as those permutations not involving a particular set of forbidden permutations. A simple collection of necessary and…
Let $R$ be a unital $*$-ring. For any $a,w,b\in R$, we apply the defined $w$-core inverse to define a new class of partial orders in $R$, called the $w$-core partial order. Suppose $a,b\in R$ are $w$-core invertible. We say that $a$ is…
A relational structure is called reversible iff every bijective endomorphism of that structure is an automorphism. We give several equivalents of that property in the class of disconnected binary structures and some its subclasses. For…
The purpose of this paper is to study the generalization of inverse semigroups (without order). An ordered semigroup S is called an inverse ordered semigroup if for every a 2 S, any two inverses of a are H-related. We prove that an ordered…
An element of a group is said to be reversible if it is conjugate to its inverse. We characterise the reversible elements in the group of diffeomorphisms of the real line, and in the subgroup of order preserving diffeomorphisms.
We study the compositional inverses of some general classes of permutation polynomials over finite fields. We show that we can write these inverses in terms of the inverses of two other polynomials bijecting subspaces of the finite field,…
We consider the set of permutations that are sorted after two passes through a pop stack. We characterize these permutations in terms of forbidden patterns (classical and barred) and enumerate them according to the ascent statistic. Then we…
Let $A$ be a nonempty finite set of $k$ integers. Given a subset $B$ of $A$, the sum of all elements of $B$, denoted by $s(B)$, is called the subset sum of $B$. For a nonnegative integer $\alpha$ ($\leq k$), let \[\Sigma_{\alpha}…
This paper introduces and studies the higher-order group inverse in a ring. We extend known properties of the higher-order group inverse from complex matrices to elements of a ring and, in the process, derive new results. We further…
The classes of 1MP-inverses and MP1-inverses are recently introduced classes of generalized inverses of complex matrix. Actually, they coincide with the classes of $\{1,2,3\}$ and $\{1,2,4\}$ inverses, respectively. We consider these…
We give an algebraic characterisation of ordered groupoids, namely, we show that there is a categorical isomophism between the category of ordered groupoids and the category of $D$-inverse constellations. Here constellations are partial…
Neural network systems describe complex mappings that can be very difficult to understand. In this paper, we study the inverse problem of determining the input images that get mapped to specific neural network classes. Ultimately, we expect…
In this dissertation, we explore the structure of inversion graphs of permutations--a class of graphs that naturally arises by representing each permutation as a graph, where vertices correspond to entries and edges encode inversions.…
In this paper we study random orderings of the integers with a certain invariance property. We describe all such orders in a simple way. We define and represent random shuffles of a countable set of labels and then give an interpretation of…
When a set of permutations comprising a pattern class C is submitted as input to a priority queue the resulting output is again a pattern class C'. The basis of C' is determined for pattern classes C whose basis elements have length 3, and…
A poset ${\mathbb{P}}$ is called reversible iff every bijective homomorphism $f:{\mathbb{P}} \rightarrow {\mathbb{P}}$ is an automorphism. Let ${\mathcal{W}}$ and ${\mathcal{W}} ^*$ denote the classes of well orders and their inverses…
