The lattice of noncrossing partitions is well-known for its wide variety of combinatorial appearances and properties. For example, the lattice is rank-symmetric and enumerated by the Catalan numbers. In this article, we introduce a large…
A model named `Colored Percolation' has been introduced with its infinite number of versions in two dimensions. The sites of a regular lattice are randomly occupied with probability $p$ and are then colored by one of the $n$ distinct colors…
In the last decade a huge amount of articles has been published studying pattern avoidance on permutations. From the point of view of enumeration, typically one tries to count permutations avoiding certain patterns according to their…
If $G$ is the symmetry group of an uncolored pattern then a coloring of the pattern is semiperfect if the associated color group $H$ is a subgroup of $G$ of index 2. We give results on how to identify and enumerate all inequivalent…
Suppose that $nk$ points in general position in the plane are colored red and blue, with at least $n$ points of each color. We show that then there exist $n$ pairwise disjoint convex sets, each of them containing $k$ of the points, and each…
In this paper, we initiate the study of "Generalized Divide and Color Models". A very special interesting case of this is the "Divide and Color Model" (which motivates the name we use) introduced and studied by Olle H\"aggstr\"om. In this…
We study the factorization of Schubert polynomials into elementary symmetric polynomials. We conjecture that this occurs when the permutation corresponding to the Schubert polynomial does not contain the patterns $1432$, $1423$, $4132$, and…
Given two combinatorial notions $\mathsf{P}_0$ and $\mathsf{P}_1$, can we encode $\mathsf{P}_0$ via $\mathsf{P}_1$. In this talk we address the question where $\mathsf{P}_0$ is 3-coloring of integers and $\mathsf{P}_1$ is product of…
The notion of a mesh pattern was introduced recently, but it has already proved to be a useful tool for description purposes related to sets of permutations. In this paper we study eight mesh patterns of small lengths. In particular, we…
Given a collection of colored chain posets, we estimate the number of colored subsets of the boolean lattice which avoid all chains in the collection.
A set partition is $c$-uniform if every block has size $c$. Two families of $c$-uniform partitions of a finite set are said to be cross $t$-intersecting if two partitions from different families share at least $t$ blocks. In this paper, we…
We generalize overpartitions to (k,j)-colored partitions: k-colored partitions in which each part size may have at most j colors. We find numerous congruences and other symmetries. We use a wide array of tools to prove our theorems:…
A permutation $\pi$ is said to avoid a chain $(\sigma:\tau)$ of patterns if $\pi$ avoids $\sigma$ and $\pi^2$ avoids $\tau.$ In this paper, we define a notion of pattern avoidance for compositions of positive integers and use that idea to…
We prove specific biases in the number of occurrences of parts belonging to two different residue classes $a$ and $b$, modulo a fixed non-negative integer $m$, for the sets of unrestricted partitions, partitions into distinct parts, and…
Within the framework of unitary easy quantum groups, we study an analogue of Brauer's Schur-Weyl approach to the representation theory of the orthogonal group. We consider concrete combinatorial categories whose morphisms are formed by…
We count the number of countable homogeneous colored linear orderings in $k$ colors. Relatedly, we count the number of countable $C_{n,m}$-homogeneous linear orderings. $C_{n,m}$-homogeneity is a strong homogeneity notion that approximates…
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…
For any positive integers $a$ and $b$, we enumerate all colored partitions made by noncrossing diagonals of a convex polygon into polygons whose number of sides is congruent to $b$ modulo $a$. For the number of such partitions made by a…
Noncrossing linked partitions arise in the study of certain transforms in free probability theory. We explore the connection between noncrossing linked partitions and colored Motzkin paths. A (3,2)-Motzkin path can be viewed as a colored…
The chromaticity diagram associated with the CIE 1931 color matching functions is shown to be slightly non-convex. While having no impact on practical colorimetric computations, the non-convexity does have a significant impact on the shape…
