The number of fixed points of a random permutation of 1,2,...,n has a limiting Poisson distribution. We seek a generalization, looking at other actions of the symmetric group. Restricting attention to primitive actions, a complete…

The study of longest increasing subsequences (LIS) in permutations led to that of Young diagrams via Robinson-Schensted's (RS) correspondence. In a celebrated paper, Vershik and Kerov obtained a limit theorem for such diagrams and found…

Let $S$ be a finite set, and $X_1,\ldots,X_n$ an i.i.d. uniform sample from $S$. To estimate the size $|S|$, without further structure, one can wait for repeats and use the birthday problem. This requires a sample size of the order…

A field theory is built for self-similar statistical systems with both generating functional being the Mellin transform of the Tsallis exponential and generator of the scale transformation that is reduced to the Jackson derivative. With…

We call a permutation $\sigma=[\sigma_1,\dots,\sigma_n] \in S_n$ a {\em cylindrical king permutation} if $ |\sigma_i-\sigma_{i+1}|>1$ for each $1\leq i \leq n-1$ and $|\sigma_1-\sigma_n|>1$. We present some results regarding the…

Any permutation has a disjoint cycle decomposition and concept generates an equivalence class on the symmetry group called the cycle-type. The main focus of this work is on permutations of restricted cycle-types, with particular emphasis on…

We define new statistics, (c, d)-descents, on the colored permutation groups Z_r \wr S_n and compute the distribution of these statistics on the elements in these groups. We use some combinatorial approaches, recurrences, and generating…

In this paper, we introduce a context-free grammar $G\colon x \rightarrow xy,\, y \rightarrow zu,\, z \rightarrow zw,\, w \rightarrow xv,\, u \rightarrow xyz^{-1}v,\, v \rightarrow x^{-1}zwu$ over the variable set $V=\{x,y,z,w,u,v\}$. We…

Starting from some considerations we make about the relations between certain difference statistics and the classical permutation statistics we study permutations whose inversion number and excedance difference coincide. It turns out that…

An involution is a bijection that is its own inverse. Given a permutation $\sigma$ of $[n],$ let $\mathsf{invol}(\sigma)$ denote the number of ways $\sigma$ can be expressed as a composition of two involutions of $[n].$ We prove that the…

Which combinatorial sequences correspond to moments of probability measures on the real line? We present a generating function, in the form of a continued fraction, for a fourteen-parameter family of such sequences and interpret these in…

Let $S_n$ be the set of all permutations of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and let $\sigma=(\sigma_1,\sigma_2,\ldots,\sigma_n)\in S_n$. The {\it initial longest increasing sequence} (ILIS) in $\sigma$ has length $m$ if, for $1\le m\le n-1$,…

We study positional statistics for four families of pattern-avoiding permutations counted by the large Schr\"oder numbers. Specifically, we focus on the pairs of patterns {2413,3142} (separable permutations), {1324,1423}, {1423,2413}, and…

The interval poset of a permutation is the set of intervals of a permutation, ordered with respect to inclusion. It has been introduced and studied recently in [B. Tenner, arXiv:2007.06142]. We study this poset from the perspective of the…
