Given integers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_n$, with $a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_n \geq 1$, a symmetrically constrained composition $\lambda_1 + lambda_2 + ... + lambda_n = M$ of $M$ into $n$ nonnegative parts is one that satisfies each of the the $n!$…

We study compositions of a positive integer $n$ in which the occurrence of even parts larger than a fixed threshold $k$ is controlled. More precisely, for each composition $m=(m_1,\dots,m_r)$ we consider the number of even parts strictly…

The non-negative integer cocharge statistic on words was introduced in the 1970's by Lascoux and Sch\"utzenberger to combinatorially characterize the Hall-Littlewood polynomials. Cocharge has since been used to explain phenomena ranging…

We use the combinatorial properties of central sets to prove a result about the existence of exponential monochromatic patterns, in the style of Hindman's Finite Sums Theorem. More precisely, we prove that for every finite coloring of the…
