The bidirectional selection between two classes widely emerges in various social lives, such as commercial trading and mate choosing. Until now, the discussions on bidirectional selection in structured human society are quite limited. We…

Arnol'd proved in 1992 that Springer numbers enumerate the Snakes, which are type $B$ analogs of alternating permutations. Chen, Fan and Jia in 2011 introduced the labeled ballot paths and established a ``hard'' bijection with snakes.…

For a natural class of $r \times n$ integer matrices, we construct a non-convex polytope which periodically tiles $\mathbb R^n$. From this tiling, we provide a family of geometrically meaningful maps from a generalized sandpile group to a…

Recently, there has been a growing interest in the relationships between unrooted and rooted phylogenetic networks. In this context, a natural question to ask is if an unrooted phylogenetic network U can be oriented as a rooted phylogenetic…

The rich and varied ways that genetic material can be passed between species has motivated extensive research into the theory of phylogenetic networks. Features that align with biological processes, or with desirable mathematical…

We provide a fundamental result for bucket increasing trees, which gives a complete characterization of all families of bucket increasing trees that can be generated by a tree evolution process. We also provide several equivalent…

Tree-like tableaux are objects in bijection with alternative or permutation tableaux. They have been the subject of a fruitful combinatorial study for the past few years. In the present work, we define and study a new subclass of tree-like…

As complex networks find applications in a growing range of disciplines, the diversity of naturally occurring and model networks being studied is exploding. The adoption of a well-developed collection of network taxonomies is a natural…

The subject of pattern avoiding permutations has its roots in computer science, namely in the problem of sorting a permutation through a stack. A formula for the number of permutations of length n that can be sorted by passing it twice…

We describe a combinatorial approach for investigating properties of rational numbers. The overall approach rests on structural bijections between rational numbers and familiar combinatorial objects, namely rooted trees. We emphasize that…

We consider the NP-hard Tree Containment problem that has important applications in phylogenetics. The problem asks if a given leaf-labeled network contains a subdivision of a given leaf-labeled tree. We develop a fast algorithm for the…

Tree-child networks are an important class of phylogenetic network used to model reticulate evolutionary processes. These networks have attracted increasing attention from researchers with interests in both combinatorics and algorithms. A…

We present a bijection between the set of standard Young tableaux of staircase minus rectangle shape, and the set of marked shifted standard Young tableaux of a certain shifted shape. Numerically, this result is due to DeWitt (2012).…

A $B$-tree is a type of search tree where every node (except possibly for the root) contains between $m$ and $2m$ keys for some positive integer $m$, and all leaves have the same distance to the root. We study sequences of $B$-trees that…

Rooted acyclic graphs appear naturally when the phylogenetic relationship of a set $X$ of taxa involves not only speciations but also recombination, horizontal transfer, or hybridization, that cannot be captured by trees. A variety of…

We study the set of NBC sets (no broken circuit sets) of the Linial arrangement and deduce a constructive bijection to the set of local binary search trees. We then generalize this construction to two families of Linial type arrangements…

Galled trees are widely studied as a recombination model in population genetics. This class of phylogenetic networks is generalized into galled networks by relaxing a structural condition. In this work, a linear recurrence formula is given…

In this paper, we shall construct a bijection between rook placements on double staircases (introduced by Josuat-Verg\`es in 2017) and increasing binary trees. We introduce two subclasses of rook placements on double staircases, which we…

Phylogenetic tree shapes capture fundamental signatures of evolution. We consider ``ranked'' tree shapes, which are equipped with a total order on the internal nodes compatible with the tree graph. Recent work has established an elegant…

We present bijections between four classes of combinatorial objects. Two of them, the class of unlabeled (2+2)-free posets and a certain class of involutions (or chord diagrams), already appeared in the literature, but were apparently not…
