A sequence $(a_1, \ldots, a_n)$ of nonnegative integers is an {\em ascent sequence} if $a_0 =0$ and for all $i \geq 2$, $a_i$ is at most 1 plus the number of ascents in $(a_1, \ldots, a_{i-1})$. Ascent sequences were introduced by…
Ascent sequences were introduced by Bousquet-M\'elou, Claesson, Dukes and Kitaev, and are in bijection with unlabeled $(2+2)$-free posets, Fishburn matrices, permutations avoiding a bivincular pattern of length $3$, and Stoimenow matchings.…
Ascent sequences were introduced by Bousquet-M\'{e}lou, Claesson, Dukes and Kitaev in their study of $(\bf{2+2})$-free posets. An ascent sequence of length $n$ is a nonnegative integer sequence $x=x_{1}x_{2}... x_{n}$ such that $x_{1}=0$…
Ascent sequences are those consisting of non-negative integers in which the size of each letter is restricted by the number of ascents preceding it and have been shown to be equinumerous with the (2+2)-free posets of the same size.…
In this paper we introduce {\em weak ascent sequences}, a class of number sequences that properly contains ascent sequences. We show how these sequences uniquely encode each of the following objects: permutations avoiding a particular…
Ascent sequences are sequences of nonnegative integers with restrictions on the size of each letter, depending on the number of ascents preceding it in the sequence. Ascent sequences have recently been related to (2+2)-free posets and…
Ascent sequences and their modified version play a central role in the bijective framework relating several combinatorial structures counted by the Fishburn numbers. Ascent sequences are positive integer sequences defined by imposing a…
The combined work of Bousquet-M\'elou, Claesson, Dukes, Jel\'inek, Kitaev, Kubitzke and Parviainen has resulted in non-trivial bijections among ascent sequences, (2+2)-free posets, upper-triangular integer matrices, and pattern-avoiding…
This paper presents a bijection between ascent sequences and upper triangular matrices whose non-negative entries are such that all rows and columns contain at least one non-zero entry. We show the equivalence of several natural statistics…
Ascent sequences were introduced by Bousquet-Melou et al. in connection with (2+2)-avoiding posets and their pattern avoidance properties were first considered by Duncan and Steingrimsson. In this paper, we consider ascent sequences of…
Inspired by the definition of modified ascent sequences, we introduce a new class of integer sequences called revised ascent sequences. These sequences are defined as Cayley permutations where each entry is a leftmost occurrence if and only…
An ascent sequence is one consisting of non-negative integers in which the size of each letter is restricted by the number of ascents preceding it in the sequence. Ascent sequences have recently been shown to be related to (2+2)-free posets…
In 1916, MacMahon showed that permutations in $S_n$ with a fixed descent set $I$ are enumerated by a polynomial $d_I(n)$. Diaz-Lopez, Harris, Insko, Omar, and Sagan recently revived interest in this descent polynomial, and suggested the…
Ascent sequences have received a lot of attention in recent years in connection with (2 + 2)-free posets and other combinatorial objects. Here, we first show bijectively that analogous repetition sequences are counted by the Bell numbers,…
A sequence x=x_1 x_2...x_n $ is said to be an ascent sequence of length $n$ if it satisfies x_1=0 and $0\leq x_i\leq asc(x_1x_2...x_{i-1})+1$ for all $2\leq i\leq n$, where $asc(x_1x_2... x_{i-1})$ is the number of ascents in the sequence…
As shown by Bousquet-M\'elou--Claesson--Dukes--Kitaev (2010), ascent sequences can be used to encode $({\bf2+2})$-free posets. It is known that ascent sequences are enumerated by the Fishburn numbers, which appear as the coefficients of the…
The sequence $A067549$ of The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences is defined as $(a_k)_{k \geq 1}$ with $a_k$ being the determinant of the $k \times k$ matrix whose diagonal contains the first $k$ prime numbers and all other elements…
The set A = {a_n} of nonnegative integers is an asymptotic basis of order h if every sufficiently large integer can be represented as the sum of h elements of A. If a_n ~ alpha n^h for some real number alpha > 0, then alpha is called an…
We present a bijection between cyclic permutations of {1,2,...,n+1} and permutations of {1,2,...,n} that preserves the descent set of the first n entries and the set of weak excedances. This non-trivial bijection involves a Foata-like…
We investigate permutations in terms of their cycle structure and descent set. To do this, we generalize the classical bijection of Gessel and Reutenauer to deal with permutations that have some ascending and some descending blocks. We then…
