We address the problem of finding harmonic colors, this problem has many applications, from fashion to industrial design. In order to solve this problem we consider that colors follow normal distributions in tone (chroma and lightness) and…

This paper introduces two matrix analogues for set partitions. A composition matrix on a finite set X is an upper triangular matrix whose entries partition X, and for which there are no rows or columns containing only empty sets. A…

We say that an unordered rooted labeled forest avoids the pattern $\pi\in\mathcal{S}_n$ if the sequence obtained from the labels along the path from the root to any vertex does not contain a subsequence that is in the same relative order as…

In this paper we introduce a family of partitions of the set of natural numbers, Fibonacci-like partitions. In particular, we introduce a Fibonacci-like partition in a number of parts corresponding to the Fibonacci numbers, the standard…

We initiate the study of limit shapes for random permutations avoiding a given pattern. Specifically, for patterns of length 3, we obtain delicate results on the asymptotics of distributions of positions of numbers in the permutations. We…

In recent work, M. Schneider and the first author studied a curious class of integer partitions called "sequentially congruent" partitions: the $m$th part is congruent to the $(m+1)$th part modulo $m$, with the smallest part congruent to…

The study of pattern containment and avoidance for linear permutations is a well-established area of enumerative combinatorics. A cyclic permutation is the set of all rotations of a linear permutation. Callan initiated the study of…

In our previous paper, we determined a unified combinatorial framework to look at a large number of colored partition identities, and studied the five identities corresponding to the exceptional modular equations of prime degree of the…

The extension of pattern avoidance from ordinary permutations to those on multisets gave birth to several interesting enumerative results. We study permutations on regular multisets, i.e., multisets in which each element occurs the same…

In this note we conjecture Rogers-Ramanujan type colored partition identities for an array with odd number of rows w such that the first and the last row consist of even positive integers. In a strange way this is different from the…

In this paper, we introduce the dotted pattern-avoiding map $s_{\dot{\tau}}$, which avoids the dotted pattern $\dot{\tau}$ instead of descents as West's stack-sorting map $s$ does. We also extend the pattern-avoiding machine, which is…

Let $\pi$ be a cyclic permutation that can be expressed in its one-line form as $\pi = \pi_1\pi_2 \cdot\cdot\cdot \pi_n$ and in its standard cycle form as $\pi = (c_1,c_2, ..., c_n)$ where $c_1=1$. Archer et al. introduced the notion of…

Motivated by the observation that the counting function of a certain base-3 colored partition contains the even perfect numbers as a subsequence, we begin by defining a sequence of polynomials in four variables and discuss their properties…

Permutations that avoid given patterns are among the most classical objects in combinatorics and have strong connections to many fields of mathematics, computer science and biology. In this paper we study fixed points of both 123- and…

Let $a_k(n)$ denote the number of partitions of $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color, while the odd parts may be ``colored" with one of $k$ colors, for fixed $k$. In this note, we find some congruences for $a_k(n)$ in the spirit of…

We give an asymptotic estimate for the number of partitions of a set of $n$ elements, whose block sizes avoid a given set $\mathcal{S}$ of natural numbers. As an application, we derive an estimate for the number of partitions of a set with…
