Let Sym_n denote the symmetric group of all permutations pi = a_1...a_n of {1,...,n}. An index i is a peak of pi if a_{i-1} < a_i > a_{i+1} and we let P(pi) be the set of peaks of pi. Given any set S of positive integers we define P(S;n) to…

We give a positive answer to a question raised by Davis et al. ({\em Discrete Mathematics} 341, 2018), concerning permutations with the same pinnacle set. Given $\pi\in S_n$, a {\em pinnacle} of $\pi$ is an element $\pi_i$ ($i\neq 1,n$)…

The study of pinnacle sets has been a recent area of interest in combinatorics. Given a permutation, its pinnacle set is the set of all values larger than the values on either side of it. Largely inspired by conjectures posed by Davis,…

Pinnacle sets record the values of the local maxima for a given family of permutations. They were introduced by Davis-Nelson-Petersen-Tenner as a dual concept to that of peaks, previously defined by Billey-Burdzy-Sagan. In recent years…

The peak set of a permutation records the indices of its peaks. These sets have been studied in a variety of contexts, including recent work by Billey, Burdzy, and Sagan, which enumerated permutations with prescribed peak sets. In this…

We say a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots\pi_n$ in the symmetric group $\mathfrak{S}_n$ has a peak at index $i$ if $\pi_{i-1}<\pi_i>\pi_{i+1}$ and we let $P(\pi)=\{i \in \{1, 2, \ldots, n\} \, \vert \, \mbox{$i$ is a peak of $\pi$}\}$.…

A signed permutation \pi = \pi_1\pi_2 \ldots \pi_n in the hyperoctahedral group B_n is a word such that each \pi_i \in {-n, \ldots, -1, 1, \ldots, n} and {|\pi_1|, |\pi_2|, \ldots, |\pi_n|} = {1,2,\ldots,n}. An index i is a peak of \pi if…

In 2017, Davis, Nelson, Petersen, and Tenner [Discrete Math. 341 (2018),3249--3270] initiated the combinatorics of pinnacles in permutations. We provide a simple and efficient recursion to compute $p_n(S)$, the number of permutations of…

Initiated by Davis, Nelson, Petersen and Tenner (2018), the enumerative study of pinnacle sets of permutations has attracted a fair amount of attention recently. In this article, we provide a recurrence that can be used to compute…

In 2017 Davis, Nelson, Petersen, and Tenner pioneered the study of pinnacle sets of permutations and asked whether there exists a class of operations, which applied to a permutation in $\mathfrak{S}_n$, can produce any other permutation…

We say that a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots \pi_n \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ has a peak at index $i$ if $\pi_{i-1} < \pi_i > \pi_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{P}(\pi)$ denote the set of indices where $\pi$ has a peak. Given a set $S$ of positive…

Given a subset $S\subseteq\mathbb{P}$, let $\Pa(S;n)$ be the number of permutations in the symmetric group of ${1,2,...,n}$ that have peak set $S$. We prove a recent conjecture due to Billey, Burdzy and Sagan, which determines the sets that…

The circular peak set of a permutation $\sigma$ is the set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i-1)<\sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. In this paper, we focus on the enumeration problems for permutations by circular peak sets. Let $cp_n(S)$ denote the number of…

Let $\pi=(\pi_1,\pi_2,\hdots,\pi_n)$ be permutation of the elements $1,2,\hdots,n. $ Positive integer $k\leq2^{n-1}$ we call index of $\pi,$ if in its binary notation as $n$-digital binary number, the 1's correspond to the ascent points. We…

The circular peak set of a permutation $\sigma$ is the set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i-1)<\sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. Let $\mathcal{P}_n$ be the set of all the subset $S\subseteq [n]$ such that there exists a permutation $\sigma$ which has the…

A permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1 \sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n$ has a descent at $i$ if $\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. A descent $i$ is called a peak if $i>1$ and $i-1$ is not a descent. The size of the set of all permutations of $n$ with a given…

Given a permutation $\pi=\pi_1\pi_2\cdots \pi_n \in \mathfrak{S}_n$, we say an index $i$ is a peak if $\pi_{i-1} < \pi_i > \pi_{i+1}$. Let $P(\pi)$ denote the set of peaks of $\pi$. Given any set $S$ of positive integers, define…

A pinnacle of a permutation is a value that is larger than its immediate neighbors when written in one-line notation. In this paper, we build on previous work that characterized admissible pinnacle sets of permutations. For these sets,…

Normal approximations for descents and inversions of permutations of the set $\{1,2,...,n\}$ are well known. A number of sequences that occur in practice, such as the human genome and other genomes, contain many repeated elements. Motivated…

A permutation on an alphabet $ \Sigma $, is a sequence where every element in $ \Sigma $ occurs precisely once. Given a permutation $ \pi $= ($\pi_{1} $, $ \pi_{2} $, $ \pi_{3} $,....., $ \pi_{n} $) over the alphabet $ \Sigma $ =$\{ $0, 1,…
