Given a hereditary graph property $\mathcal{P}$, consider distributions of random orderings of vertices of graphs $G\in\mathcal{P}$ that are preserved under isomorphisms and under taking induced subgraphs. We show that for many properties…
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.…
A derangement is a permutation with no fixed point, and a nonderangement is a permutation with at least one fixed point. There is a one-term recurrence for the number of derangements of $n$ elements, and we describe a bijective proof of…
The $t$-e.c. and pseudo-random property are typical properties of random graphs. In this note, we study the gap between them which has not been studied well. As a main result, we give the first explicit construction of infinite families of…
Fractional revival is a quantum transport phenomenon important for entanglement generation in spin networks. This takes place whenever a continuous-time quantum walk maps the characteristic vector of a vertex to a superposition of the…
This article investigates the traces of certain modules over rings of invariants associated with finite groups. More precisely, we provide a formula for computing the traces of arbitrary semi-invariants, thereby contributing to the…
For an integer $m \geq 2$, let $\mathcal{P}_m$ be the partition of the unit interval $I$ into $m$ equal subintervals, and let $\mathcal{F}_m$ be the class of piecewise linear maps on $I$ with constant slope $\pm m$ on each element of…
Following the approach by R. K\"otter and F. R. Kschischang, we study network codes as families of k-dimensional linear subspaces of a vector space F_q^n, q being a prime power and F_q the finite field with q elements. In particular,…
We construct an involution on set partitions which keeps track of the numbers of crossings, nestings and alignments of two edges. We derive then the symmetric distribution of the numbers of crossings and nestings in partitions, which…
Up-down permutations are counted by tangent resp. secant numbers. Considering words instead, where the letters are produced by independent geometric distributions, there are several ways of introducing this concept; in the limit they all…
We study statistics on ordered set partitions whose generating functions are related to $p,q$-Stirling numbers of the second kind. The main purpose of this paper is to provide bijective proofs of all the conjectures of \stein…
Integer partitions have fascinated people for centuries, from Ramanujan's groundbreaking congruences to the modern theory of modular forms. This paper investigates the statistical properties of odd unimodal sequences--a natural refinement…
A partition polynomial is a refinement of the partition number p(n) whose coefficients count some special partition statistic. Just as partition numbers have useful asymptotics so do partition polynomials. In fact, their asymptotics…
A map is given showing that convolutions of independent random variables over a finite group and matrix multiplications of doubly stochastic matrices are homomorphic. As an application, a short proof is given to the theorem that the…
For an integer $r$, a prime power $q$, and a polynomial $f$ over a finite field ${\mathbb F}_{q^r}$ of $q^r$ elements, we obtain an upper bound on the frequency of elements in an orbit generated by iterations of $f$ which fall in a proper…
Bicubic maps are in bijection with \beta(0,1)-trees. We introduce two new ways of decomposing \beta(0,1)-trees. Using this we define an endofunction on \beta(0,1)-trees, and thus also on bicubic maps. We show that this endofunction is in…
We consider associative algebras with involution graded by a finite abelian group G over a field of characteristic zero. Suppose that the involution is compatible with the grading. We represent conditions permitting PI-representability of…
We use generalised Zeckendorf representations of natural numbers to investigate mixing properties of symbolic dynamical systems. The systems we consider consist of bi-infinite sequences associated with so-called random substitutions. We…
In this article, we define and study a geometry and an order on the set of partitions of an even number of objects. One of the definitions involves the partition algebra, a structure of algebra on the set of such partitions depending on an…
A detailed discussion of semiclassical trace formulae is presented and it is demonstrated how a regularized trace formula can be derived while dealing only with finite and convergent expressions. Furthermore, several applications of trace…
