Motivated by the study of pattern avoidance in the context of permutations and ordered partitions, we consider the enumeration of weak-ordering chains obtained as leaves of certain restricted rooted trees. A tree of order $n$ is generated…

In this paper, we study a class of functions defined recursively on the set of natural numbers in terms of the greatest common divisor algorithm of two numbers and requiring a minimality condition. These functions are permutations, products…

In this paper, we introduce a weak group inverse (called the WG inverse in the present paper) for square matrices of an arbitrary index, and give some of its characterizations and properties. Furthermore, we introduce two orders: one is a…

We consider the number of passes a permutation needs to take through a stack if we only pop the appropriate output values and start over with the remaining entries in their original order. We define a permutation $\pi$ to be $k$-pass…

We investigate the ways in which fundamental properties of the weak Bruhat order on a Weyl group can be lifted (or not) to a corresponding highest weight crystal graph, viewed as a partially ordered set; the latter projects to the weak…

For a prime $p$ and nonnegative integers $j$ and $n$ let $\vartheta_p(j,n)$ be the number of entries in the $n$-th row of Pascal's triangle that are exactly divisible by $p^j$. Moreover, for a finite sequence $w=(w_{r-1}\cdots w_0)\neq…

We show that an arithmetic function which satisfies some weak multiplicativity properties and in addition has a non-decreasing or $\log$-uniformly continuous normal order is close to a function of the form $n\mapsto n^c$. As an application…

Let $n \ge 3$ be an integer. Let $P_n = \{1, 2, 3, ..., n-1, n \}$ and let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of permutations on $P_n$. Motivated by the theory of discrete dynamical systems on the interval, we associate each permutation $\si_n$…

We study the generating function of the excess number of Rogers-Ramanujan partitions with odd rank over those with even rank, and, using combinatorial and analytical techniques, show that this generating function is closely connected with…

Let $(S,*)$ be an involutive local ring and let $U(2m,S)$ be the unitary group associated to a nondegenerate skew hermitian form defined on a free $S$-module of rank $2m$. A presentation of $U(2m,S)$ is given in terms of Bruhat generators…

Given a Coxeter group $W$ with Coxeter system $(W,S)$, where $S$ is finite. We provide a complete characterization of Boolean intervals in the weak order of $W$ uniformly for all Coxeter groups in terms of independent sets of the Coxeter…

We show that for any permutation $\pi$ there exists an integer $k_{\pi}$ such that every permutation avoiding $\pi$ as a pattern is a product of at most $k_{\pi}$ separable permutations. In other words, every strict class $\mathcal C$ of…

In this note we construct a poset map from a Boolean algebra to the Bruhat order which unveils an interesting connection between subword complexes, sorting orders, and certain totally nonnegative spaces. This relationship gives a new proof…

We consider $p$-weak differentiable structures that were recently introduced by the first and last named authors, and prove that the product of $p$-weak charts is a $p$-weak chart. This implies that the product of two spaces with a $p$-weak…

The W-set of an element of a weak order poset is useful in the cohomological study of the closures of spherical subgroups in generalized flag varieties. We explicitly describe in a purely combinatorial manner the W-sets of the weak order…

In this paper, we present a new method to derive formulas for the generating functions of interval orders, counted with respect to their size, magnitude, and number of minimal and maximal elements. Our method allows us not only to…

For a positive integer $N$ divisible by $4,5,6,7$ or $9$, let $\mathcal{O}_{1,N}(\mathbb{Q})$ be the ring of weakly holomorphic modular functions for the congruence subgroup $\Gamma_1(N)$ with rational Fourier coefficients. We present…

The (strong) Bruhat order for permutations provides a partial ordering defined as follows: two permutations are comparable if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of adjacent transpositions that each increase the number of…

We study combinatorial and asymptotic properties of the rank of strongly unimodal sequences. We find a generating function for the rank enumeration function, and give a new combinatorial interpretation of the ospt-function introduced by…

We study generating functions of strict and non-strict order polynomials of series-parallel posets, called order series. These order series are closely related to Ehrhart series and h*-polynomials of the associated order polytopes. We…
