Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…

Packing density is a permutation occurrence statistic which describes the maximal number of permutations of a given type that can occur in another permutation. In this article we focus on containment of sets of permutations. Although this…

We show that the number of signed permutations avoiding 1234 equals the number of signed permutations avoiding 2143 (also called vexillary signed permutations), resolving a conjecture by Anderson and Fulton. The main tool that we use is the…

Sidon sets are those sets such that the sums of two of its elements never coincide. They go back to the 30s when Sidon asked for the maximal size of a subset of consecutive integers with that property. This question is now answered in a…

Stern's diatomic series, denoted by $(a(n))_{n \geq 0}$, is defined by the recurrence relations $a(2n) = a(n)$ and $a(2n + 1) = a(n) + a(n + 1)$ for $n \geq 1$, and initial values $a(0) = 0$ and $a(1) = 1$. A record-setter for a sequence…

Selecting N random points in a unit square corresponds to selecting a random permutation. By putting 5 types of symmetry restrictions on the points, we obtain subsets of permutations : involutions, signed permutations and signed…

Recursive permutations whose cycles are the classes of a decidable equivalence relation are studied; the set of these permutations is called $\mathrm{Perm}$, the group of all recursive permutations $\mathcal{G}$. Multiple equivalent…

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Let $\Gamma_n$ denote the group of permutations on $[n]$ whose restrictions to maximal proper subsets of $[n]$ are even, let $\Sigma_n$ denote the monoid of transformations on…

A $(v,k,\lambda)$ difference set in a group $G$ of order $v$ is a subset $\{d_1, d_2, \ldots,d_k\}$ of $G$ such that $D=\sum d_i$ in the group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$ satisfies $$D D^{-1} = n + \lambda G,$$ where $n=k-\lambda$. If $D=\sum s_i…

A permutation is called {\it {block-wise simple}} if it contains no interval of the form $p_1\oplus p_2$ or $p_1 \ominus p_2$. We present this new set of permutations and explore some of its combinatorial properties. We present a generating…

What is the higher-dimensional analog of a permutation? If we think of a permutation as given by a permutation matrix, then the following definition suggests itself: A d-dimensional permutation of order n is an [n]^(d+1) array of zeros and…

Elizalde constructed a bijection $\phi$ from the cyclic permutations $\pi\in S_{n+1}$ to the symmetric group $S_n$ satisfying $\operatorname{Des}(\pi)\cap \{1,2,\ldots,n-1\}=\operatorname{Des}(\phi(\pi))$. We give a corresponding result on…

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…

We study two related probabilistic models of permutations and trees biased by their number of descents. Here, a descent in a permutation $\sigma$ is a pair of consecutive elements $\sigma(i), \sigma(i+1)$ such that $\sigma(i) >…

In this paper we present our current development on a new formalization of nominal sets in Agda. Our first motivation in having another formalization was to understand better nominal sets and to have a playground for testing type systems…

For an arbitrary finite permutation group $G$, subgroup of the symmetric group $S_\ell$, we determine the permutations involving only members of $G$ as $\ell$-patterns, i.e., avoiding all patterns in the set $S_\ell \setminus G$. The set of…

Generalising the concept of a complete permutation polynomial over a finite field, we define completness to level $k$ for $k\ge1$ in fields of odd characteristic. We construct two families of polynomials that satisfy the condition of high…

Recall that a Stirling permutation is a permutation on the multiset $\{1,1,2,2,\ldots,n,n\}$ such that any numbers appearing between repeated values of $i$ must be greater than $i$. We call a Stirling permutation ``flattened'' if the…

In order to better understand the structure of closed collections of reversible gates, we investigate the lattice of closed sets and the maximal members of this lattice. In this note, we find the maximal closed sets over a finite alphabet.…

In [4], D'Angelo introduced the notion of points of finite type for a real hypersurface $M$ in $\mathbb C^n$ and showed that the set of points of finite type in $M$ is open. Later, Lamel-Mir [8] considered a natural extension of D'Angelo's…
