Linear chord diagrams are partitions of $\left[2n\right]$ into $n$ blocks of size two called chords. We refer to a block of the form $\{i,i+1\}$ as a short chord. In this paper, we study the distribution of the number of short chords on the…
A linear chord diagram of size $n$ is a partition of the set $\{1,2,\cdots,2n\}$ into sets of size two, called chords. From a table showing the number of linear chord diagrams of degree $n$ such that every chord has length at least $k$, we…
Using methods from Analytic Combinatorics, we study the families of perfect matchings, partitions, chord diagrams, and hyperchord diagrams on a disk with a prescribed number of crossings. For each family, we express the generating function…
In a linear chord diagram a short chord is one which joins adjacent vertices. We define a bubble to be a region in a linear chord diagram devoid of short chords. We derive a formal generating function counting bubbles by their size and find…
Two types of connected chord diagrams with chord endpoints lying in a collection of ordered and oriented real segments are considered here: the real segments may contain additional bivalent vertices in one model but not in the other. In the…
Calculi of string diagrams are increasingly used to present the syntax and algebraic structure of various families of circuits, including signal flow graphs, electrical circuits and quantum processes. In many such approaches, the semantic…
We enumerate chord diagrams without loops and without both loops and parallel chords. We show that the former ones describe Hamiltonian paths in $n$-dimensional octahedrons. The latter ones are also known as shapes. For labelled diagrams we…
In a linear chord diagram a short chord joins adjacent vertices while a bubble is a region devoid of short chords. We define a bridge to be a chord joining a vertex interior to a bubble to one exterior to it. Building on earlier work, we…

We build on recent work of Yeats, Courtiel, and others involving connected chord diagrams. We first derive from a Hopf-algebraic foundation a class of tree-like functional equations and prove that they are solved by weighted generating…
We show that any sequence $(x_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}} \subseteq [0,1]$ that has Poissonian correlations of $k$-th order is uniformly distributed, also providing a quantitative description of this phenomenon. Additionally, we extend…
In this article, the enumeration of partial chord diagrams is discussed via matrix model techniques. In addition to the basic data such as the number of backbones and chords, we also consider the Euler characteristic, the backbone spectrum,…
We derive a functional relation between the generating functions of connected chord diagrams and 2-connected chord diagrams. This relation enables us to calculate an asymptotic expansion for the number of 2-connected chord diagrams on $n$…
A chord diagram refers to a set of chords with distinct endpoints on a circle. The intersection graph of a chord diagram $\cal C$ is defined by substituting the chords of $\cal C$ with vertices and by adding edges between two vertices…
Rooted connected chord diagrams form a nice class of combinatorial objects. Recently they were shown to index solutions to certain Dyson-Schwinger equations in quantum field theory. Key to this indexing role are certain special chords which…
The $k$-core decomposition is a widely studied summary statistic that describes a graph's global connectivity structure. In this paper, we move beyond using $k$-core decomposition as a tool to summarize a graph and propose using $k$-core…
We study several enumeration problems connected to linear trees, a broad class which includes stars, paths, generalized stars, and caterpillars. We provide generating functions for counting the number of linear trees on $n$ vertices,…
When all the elements of the multiset $\{1,1,2,2,3,3,\ldots,k,k\}$ are placed in the cells of a $2\times k$ rectangular array, in how many configurations are exactly $v$ of the pairs directly over top one another, and exactly $h$ directly…
The well-known conditions for a simplicial set to be the nerve of a small category generalize with respect to two parameters: the dimension n of the things which compose, and the position i of the thing which is the result of the…
In this paper we compute the generating function of modular, $k$-noncrossing diagrams. A $k$-noncrossing diagram is called modular if it does not contains any isolated arcs and any arc has length at least four. Modular diagrams represent…
