Rectangulations are partitions of a square into axis-aligned rectangles. A number of results provide bijections between combinatorial equivalence classes of rectangulations and families of pattern-avoiding permutations. Other results deal…
We show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are quadrangles and pentagons for each orientable genus $g \geq 0$. We also show existence of centrally symmetric maps on surfaces all of whose faces are hexagons…
We study the symmetric outer product decomposition which decomposes a fully (partially) symmetric tensor into a sum of rank-one fully (partially) symmetric tensors. We present iterative algorithms for the third-order partially symmetric…
In an isomorphic copy of the ring of symmetric polynomials we study some families of polynomials which are indexed by rational weight vectors. These families include well known symmetric polynomials, such as the elementary, homogeneous, and…
In this paper, we provide new discrete uniformization theorems for bounded, $m$-connected planar domains. To this end, we consider a planar, bounded, $m$-connected domain $\Omega$ and let $\bord\Omega$ be its boundary. Let $\mathcal{T}$…
Symmetric edge polytopes are a recent and well-studied family of centrally symmetric polytopes arising from graphs. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of this family to arbitrary simplicial complexes. We show how topological…
Bouttier, Di Francesco and Guitter introduced a method for solving certain classes of algebraic recurrence relations arising the context of embedded trees and map enumeration. The aim of this note is to apply this method to three problems.…
We consider the problem of enumerating planar constellations with two points at a prescribed distance. Our approach relies on a combinatorial correspondence between this family of constellations and the simpler family of rooted…
The number of triangulations of a planar n point set is known to be $c^n$, where the base $c$ lies between $2.43$ and $30.$ The fastest known algorithm for counting triangulations of a planar n point set runs in $O^*(2^n)$ time. The fastest…
We unify and extend previous bijections on plane quadrangulations to bipartite and quasibipartite plane maps. Starting from a bipartite plane map with a distinguished edge and two distinguished corners (in the same face or in two different…
We study the $(q,t)$-enumeration of triangular Dyck paths considered by Bergeron and Mazin. To do so, we introduce the notion of triangular and sim-sym tableaux and the deficit statistic which is a new interpretation of the dinv. We use it…
The objects of study are triangulations of the dilated standard triangle in the plane. Motivated by work on T-curves (Geiselmann et al., 2026), the focus lies on unimodular triangulations with a fixed symmetry axis. Lower and upper bounds…
We compute the number of triangulations of a convex $k$-gon each of whose sides is subdivided by $r-1$ points. We find explicit formulas and generating functions, and we determine the asymptotic behaviour of these numbers as $k$ and/or $r$…
Proctor's work on staircase plane partitions yields an enumeration of lozenge tilings of a halved hexagon on the triangular lattice. Rohatgi recently extended this tiling enumeration to a halved hexagon with a triangle removed from the…
A novel factorization for the sum of two single-pair matrices is established as product of lower-triangular, tridiagonal, and upper-triangular matrices, leading to semi-closed-form formulas for tridiagonal matrix inversion. Subsequent…
The paper develops elementary linear algebra methods to compute the determinants of the tensor symmetrizations of quadratic and hermitian forms over fields of good characteristic. Explicit results are given for the partitions $(n)$,…
In this paper, we survey some properties, encoding, and bijections involving combinatorial maps, double occurrence words, and chord diagrams. We particularly study quasi-trees from a purely combinatorial point of view and derive a…
In this paper we focus on two new families of polynomials which are connected with exponential polynomials and geometric polynomials. We discuss their generalizations and show that these new families of polynomials and their generalizations…
We present a bijection between some quadrangular dissections of an hexagon and unrooted binary trees, with interesting consequences for enumeration, mesh compression and graph sampling. Our bijection yields an efficient uniform random…
We address the enumeration of planar 4-valent maps equipped with an Eulerian orientation by two different methods, and compare the solutions we thus obtain. With the first method we enumerate these orientations as well as a restricted class…
