The size of the core is one of the main diagnostics of the evolutionary state of a globular cluster. Much has been learned over the last few years about the behavior of the core radius during and after core collapse, under a variety of…

In this paper, we use a simple discrete dynamical model to study integer partitions and their lattice. The set of reachable configurations of the model, with the order induced by the transition rule defined on it, is the lattice of all…

An independent set may not contain both a vertex and one of its neighbours. This basic fact makes the uniform distribution over independent sets rather special. We consider the hard-core model, an essential generalization of the uniform…

We study set partitions with $r$ distinguished elements and block sizes found in an arbitrary index set $S$. The enumeration of these $(S,r)$-partitions leads to the introduction of $(S,r)$-Stirling numbers, an extremely wide-ranging…

A probabilistic characterization of the dominance partial order on the set of partitions is presented. This extends work in "Symmetric polynomials and symmetric mean inequalities". Electron. J. Combin., 20(3): Paper 34, 2013. Let $n$ be a…

This paper focuses on Majority Dynamics in sparse graphs, in particular, as a tool to study internal cuts. It is known that, in Majority Dynamics on a finite graph, each vertex eventually either comes to a fixed state, or oscillates with…

We obtain partition regularity results for homogeneous quadratic equations whose parametrized solutions admit nice factorizations into linear forms over rings of integers of imaginary quadratic fields. To do so, we develop number-theoretic…

Generalizing previous results, we introduce and study a new statistic on words, that we call rectangle capacity. For two fixed positive integers $r$ and $s$, this statistic counts the number of occurrences of a rectangle of size $r\times s$…

Let $k, t$ be coprime integers, and let $1 \leq r \leq t$. We let $D_k^\times(r,t;n)$ denote the total number of parts among all $k$-indivisible partitions (i.e., those partitions where no part is divisible by $k$) of $n$ which are…

We explore partitions that lie in the intersection of several sets of classical interest: partitions with parts indivisible by $m$, appearing fewer than $m$ times, or differing by less than $m$. We find results on their behavior and…

We study the enumeration of set partitions, according to their length, number of parts, cyclic type, and genus. We introduce genus-dependent Bell, Stirling numbers, and Fa\`a di Bruno coefficients. Besides attempting to summarize what is…

Two closely related discrete probability distributions are introduced. In each case the support is a set of vectors in $\mathbb{R}^n$ obtained from the partitions of the fixed positive integer $n$. These distributions arise naturally when…

We obtain a series of estimates on the number of small integers and small order Farey fractions which belong to a given coset of a subgroup of order $t$ of the group of units of the residue ring modulo a prime $p$, in the case when $t$ is…

The $\lambda$-core vertices of a graph correspond to the non-zero entries of some eigenvector of $\lambda$ for a universal adjacency matrix $\mathbf{U}$ of the graph. We define a partition of the vertex set $V$ based on the $\lambda$-core…

Using a calculus of variations approach, we determine the shape of a typical plane partition in a large box (i.e., a plane partition chosen at random according to the uniform distribution on all plane partitions whose solid Young diagrams…

Let S and T be sets of positive integers and let a be a fixed positive integer. An a-shifted partition identity has the form p(S,n)=p(T,n-a), for all n greater or equal to a. Here p(S,n) is the number partitions of n whose parts are…

Motivated by recent study on the number of $t$-hooks in partitions arising from Euler's partition identity, we investigate the number of $t$-hooks in the sets from the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity and the first little G\"ollitz identity.…

Basis partitions are minimal partitions corresponding to successive rank vectors. We show combinatorially how basis partitions can be generated from primary partitions which are equivalent to the Rogers-Ramanujan partitions. This leads to…

Cores are, besides connectivity components, one among few concepts that provides us with efficient decompositions of large graphs and networks. In the paper a generalization of the notion of core of a graph based on vertex property function…
