We introduce and study the model of simply generated non-crossing partitions, which are, roughly speaking, chosen at random according to a sequence of weights. This framework encompasses the particular case of uniform non-crossing…

We obtain an asymptotic expansion for $p(n)$, the number of partitions of a natural number $n$, starting from a formula that relates its generating function $f(t), t\in (0,1)$ with the characteristic functions of a family of sums of…

Let m be a positive integer, and let A be the set of all positive integers that belong to a union of r distinct congruence classes modulo m. We assume that the elements of A are relatively prime, that is, gcd(A) = 1. Let p_A(n) denote the…

Let ${\cal A}=\{A_1,\ldots, A_r\}$ be a partition of a set $\{1,\ldots,m\}\times\{1,\ldots, n\}$ into $r$ nonempty subsets, and $A=(a_{ij})$ be an $m\times n$ matrix. We say that $A$ has a pattern ${\cal A}$ provided that $a_{ij}=a_{i'j'}$…

In recent work, Amdeberhan and Merca considered the integer partition function $a(n)$ which counts the number of integer partitions of weight $n$ wherein even parts come in only one color (i.e., they are monochromatic), while the odd parts…

This paper is continuation of the study of the 1-box pattern in permutations introduced by the authors in \cite{kitrem4}. We derive a two-variable generating function for the distribution of this pattern on 132-avoiding permutations, and…

It is proved that the number of 9-regular partitions of n is divisible by 3 when n is congruent to 3 mod 4, and by 6 when n is congruent to 13 mod 16. An infinite family of congruences mod 3 holds in other progressions modulo powers of 4…

We study a family of graph clustering problems where each cluster has to satisfy a certain local requirement. Formally, let $\mu$ be a function on the subsets of vertices of a graph $G$. In the $(\mu,p,q)$-PARTITION problem, the task is to…

In this article, we show how the finding the number of partitions of same size of a positive integer show up in caching networks. We present a stochastic model for caching where user requests (represented with positive integers) are a…

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…

We compute the generating function of column-strict plane partitions with parts in {1,2,...,n}, at most c columns, p rows of odd length and k parts equal to n. This refines both, Krattenthaler's ["The major counting of nonintersecting…

We consider the problem of enumerating permutations with exactly r occurrences of the pattern 1324 and derive functional equations for this general case as well as for the pattern avoidance (r=0) case. The functional equations lead to a new…

We find generating functions for the number of words avoiding certain patterns or sets of patterns on at most 2 distinct letters and determine which of them are equally avoided. We also find the exact number of words avoiding certain…

Vincular and covincular patterns are generalizations of classical patterns allowing restrictions on the indices and values of the occurrences in a permutation. In this paper we study the integer sequences arising as the enumerations of…

In this paper, we mainly study two notions of pattern avoidance in parking functions. First, for any collection of length 3 patterns, we compute the number of parking functions of size $n$ that avoid them under the first notion. This is…

Recently, it has been determined that there are 242 Wilf classes of triples of 4-letter permutation patterns by showing that there are 32 non-singleton Wilf classes. Moreover, the generating function for each triple lying in a non-singleton…

We use the cluster method to enumerate permutations avoiding consecutive patterns. We reprove and generalize in a unified way several known results and obtain new ones, including some patterns of length 4 and 5, as well as some infinite…

We introduce a new boundedness condition for affine permutations, motivated by the fruitful concept of periodic boundary conditions in statistical physics. We study pattern avoidance in bounded affine permutations. In particular, we show…

An integer partition \lambda of n corresponds, via its Ferrers diagram, to an artinian monomial ideal I of colength n in the polynomial ring on two variables. If the partition \lambda corresponds to an integrally closed ideal we call…

For a set of permutations $S\subseteq S_n$, consider the quasisymmetric generating function $$Q(S): = \sum_{w\in S}F_{n, \mathrm{Des}(w)},$$ where $\mathrm{Des}(w) := \{i\mid w(i)> w(i+1)\}$ is the descent set of $w$ and $F_{n,…
