It is known that the Pak-Stanley labeling of the Shi hyperplane arrangement provides a bijection between the regions of the arrangement and parking functions. For any graph G, we define the G-semiorder arrangement and show that the…
Park-and-ride facilities are car parks where users can transfer to public transportation. Commuters can use P&R facilities or choose to travel by car to their destinations, and individual choice behavior is assumed to follow a logit model.…
We consider the notion of classical parking functions by introducing randomness and a new parking protocol, as inspired by the work presented in the paper ``Parking Functions: Choose your own adventure,'' (arXiv:2001.04817) by Carlson,…
The Dyson rank of an integer partition is the difference between its largest part and the number of parts it contains. Using Fine-Dyson symmetry, we give formulas for the number of partitions of n with rank larger than n/2, and we prove…
Ramsey theory is the study of conditions under which mathematical objects show order when partitioned. Ramsey theory on the integers concerns itself with partitions of $[1,n]$ into $r$ subsets and asks the question whether one (or more) of…
We adapt the vertical and horizontal insertion encodings of Cayley permutations to enumerate restricted growth functions, which are in bijection with unordered set partitions. For both insertion encodings, we fully classify the classes for…
We consider the problem of maximizing a non-negative submodular set function $f:2^N \rightarrow \mathbb{R}_+$ over a ground set $N$ subject to a variety of packing type constraints including (multiple) matroid constraints, knapsack…
A depth-first search version of Dhar's burning algorithm is used to give a bijection between the parking functions of a graph and labeled spanning trees, relating the degree of the parking function with the number of inversions of the…
A bijection is presented between (1): partitions with conditions $f_j+f_{j+1}\leq k-1$ and $ f_1\leq i-1$, where $f_j$ is the frequency of the part $j$ in the partition, and (2): sets of $k-1$ ordered partitions $(n^{(1)}, n^{(2)}, ...,…
This paper contains a partial answer to the open problem 3.11 of \cite{[H2008]}. That is to find an explicit bijection on Schr\"oder paths that inverts the statistics area and bounce. This paper started as an attempt to write the sum over…
Let $\mathcal{A}=\left(a_i\right)_{i=1}^\infty$ be a weakly increasing sequence of positive integers and let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. For an arbitrary integer $n$, the restricted partition $p_\mathcal{A}(n,k)$ enumerates all the…
Two seemingly unrelated problems, scheduling a multiclass queueing system and minimizing a submodular function, share a rather deep connection via the polymatroid that is characterized by a submodular set function on the one hand and…
An involution in a Coxeter group has an associated set of involution words, a variation on reduced words. These words are saturated chains in a partial order first considered by Richardson and Springer in their study of symmetric varieties.…
Consider a finite sequence of permutations of the elements 1,...,n, with the property that each element changes its position by at most 1 from any permutation to the next. We call such a sequence a tangle, and we define a move of element i…
We introduce a bijection between inequivalent minimal factorizations of the n-cycle (1 2 ... n) into a product of smaller cycles of given length, on one side, and trees of a certain structure on the other. We use this bijection to count the…
The moduli space $\overline{M}_{0,n}$ may be embedded into the product of projective spaces $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^2\times \cdots \times \mathbb{P}^{n-3}$, using a combination of the Kapranov map $|\psi_n|:\overline{M}_{0,n}\to…
In cooperative game theory, games in partition function form are real-valued function on the set of so-called embedded coalitions, that is, pairs $(S,\pi)$ where $S$ is a subset (coalition) of the set $N$ of players, and $\pi$ is a…
In this paper, we introduce saturation and semisaturation functions of sequences, and we prove a number of fundamental results about these functions. Given a forbidden sequence $u$ with $r$ distinct letters, we say that a sequence $s$ on a…
Given an undirected graph representing similarities between a set of items and an additive measure evaluating the items, we treat the position of a special subset of items in an ordinal ranking through a collection of combinatorial…
A new formula for the partition function $p(n)$ is developed. We show that the number of partitions of $n$ can be expressed as the sum of a simple function of the two largest parts of all partitions. Specifically, if $a_1 + >... + a_k = n$…
