In this paper, we study the generating functions for the number of pattern restricted Stirling permutations with a given number of plateaus, descents and ascents. Properties of the generating functions, including symmetric properties and…

Br\"{a}nd\'{e}n and Claesson introduced the concept of mesh patterns in 2011, and since then, these patterns have attracted significant attention in the literature. Subsequently, in 2015, Hilmarsson \emph{et al.} initiated the first…

A conjecture by Deutsch, Kitaev, and Remmel states that the triples of permutation statistics $(S_{10}, S_{12}, S_{17})$ and $(S_{12}, S_{10} ,S_{17})$ are equidistributed over the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$. Here, $S_{10}$ enumerates…

Recently, Babson and Steingrimsson (see \cite{BS}) introduced generalized permutations patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. In this paper we study the generating…

We study aspects of the enumeration of permutation classes, sets of permutations closed downwards under the subpermutation order. First, we consider monotone grid classes of permutations. We present procedures for calculating the generating…

In this paper we study the generating polynomials obtained by enumerating signed simsun permutations by number of the descents. Properties of the polynomials, including the recurrence relations and generating functions are studied.

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Given a permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1\sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n \in S_n$, we say it has a descent at index $i$ if $\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{D}(\sigma)$ be the…

Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…

A recent work of Abbasi et al. [FOCS 2023] introduced the notion of $\varepsilon$-scatter dimension of a metric space and showed a general framework for efficient parameterized approximation schemes (so-called EPASes) for a wide range of…

Diaconis and Graham studied a measure of distance from the identity in the symmetric group called total displacement and showed that it is bounded below by the sum of length and reflection length. They asked for a characterization of the…

The Brownian separable permuton is a random probability measure on the unit square, which was introduced by Bassino, Bouvel, F\'eray, Gerin, Pierrot (2016) as the scaling limit of the diagram of the uniform separable permutation as size…

Given a permutation statistic $\operatorname{st}$, define its inverse statistic $\operatorname{ist}$ by $\operatorname{ist}(\pi):=\operatorname{st}(\pi^{-1})$. We give a general approach, based on the theory of symmetric functions, for…

The study of permutation and partition statistics is a classical topic in enumerative combinatorics. The major index statistic on permutations was introduced a century ago by Percy MacMahon in his seminal works. In this extended abstract,…

Bj\"orner and Wachs defined a major index for labeled plane forests and showed that it has the same distribution as the number of inversions. We define and study the distributions of a few other natural statistics on labeled forests.…

We show that for any permutation $\pi$ there exists an integer $k_{\pi}$ such that every permutation avoiding $\pi$ as a pattern is a product of at most $k_{\pi}$ separable permutations. In other words, every strict class $\mathcal C$ of…

A permutation is simsun if for all k, the subword of the one-line notation consisting of the k smallest entries does not have three consecutive decreasing elements. Simsun permutations were introduced by Simion and Sundaram, who showed that…
