Azam and Richmond arXiv:2107.09149 obtained a recursion for the generating function of \(P_\lambda(y)\), itself a generating function enumerating by length partitions in the lower ideal \([0,\lambda]\) in the Young lattice. We show that…
For $\ell \geq 1$ and $k \geq 2$, we consider certain admissible sequences of $k-1$ lattice paths in a colored $\ell \times \ell$ square. We show that the number of such admissible sequences of lattice paths is given by the sum of squares…
An alternative generating function is proposed to enumerate row-convex polyominoes without internal holes on a discrete grid. The approach is based on integer partitions of the total area, where each partition corresponds to a sequence of…
We give some special values of Grothendieck polynomials and an explicit formula for the number of set-valued tableaux. For Young diagrams consisting of a single row or a single column, both the value and number are written by the Gauss'…
Recently, a new class of words, denoted by L_n, was shown to be in bijection with a subset of the Dyck paths of length 2n having cardinality given by the (n-1)-st Catalan number. Here, we consider statistics on L_n recording the number of…
The class of generating functions for completely monotone sequences (moments of finite positive measures on $[0,1]$) has an elegant characterization as the class of Pick functions analytic and positive on $(-\infty,1)$. We establish this…
Column-convex polygons were first counted by area several decades ago, and the result was found to be a simple, rational, generating function. In this chapter we generalize that result. Let a p-column polyomino be a polyomino whose columns…
The enumeration of standard Young tableaux (SYTs) of shape {\lambda} can be easily computed by the hook-length formula. In 1981, Amitai Regev proved that the number of SYTs having at most three rows with n entries equals the nth Motzkin…
Lin and Chang gave a generating function of convex polyominoes with an $m+1$ by $n+1$ minimal bounding rectangle. Gessel showed that their result implies that the number of such polyominoes is $$ \frac{m+n+mn}{m+n}{2m+2n\choose…
We study a generating function for the sum over fatgraphs with specified valences of vertices and faces, inversely weighted by the order of their symmetry group. A compact expression is found for general (i.e. non necessarily connected)…
Back in the early days of polyomino enumeration, a model called column-convex polyominoes was introduced and its area generating function was found. That generating function is rational: the numerator has degree four and the denominator has…
We consider a new kind of straight and shifted plane partitions/Young tableaux --- ones whose diagrams are no longer of partition shape, but rather Young diagrams with boxes erased from their upper right ends. We find formulas for the…
We investigate the coefficients generated by expressing the falling factorial $(xy)_k$ as a linear combination of falling factorial products $(x)_l (y)_m$ for $l,m =1,...,k$. Algebraic and combinatoric properties of these coefficients are…
An increasing tableau is a semistandard tableau with strictly increasing rows and columns. It is well known that the Catalan numbers enumerate both rectangular standard Young tableaux of two rows and also Dyck paths. We generalize this to a…
We show that the half-perimeter generating functions for the number of Wicketed and Gated Ferrers diagrams is algebraic. Furthermore, the generating function of the Wicketed Ferrers diagrams is closely related to the generating function of…
In two recent works \cite{BMM,BK}, it has been shown that the counting generating functions (CGF) for the 23 walks with small steps confined in a quadrant and associated with a finite group of birational transformations are holonomic, and…
We compute the generating function of column-strict plane partitions with parts in {1,2,...,n}, at most c columns, p rows of odd length and k parts equal to n. This refines both, Krattenthaler's ["The major counting of nonintersecting…
A linear chord diagram canonically determines a fatgraph and hence has an associated genus $g$. We compute the natural generating function ${\bf C}_g(z)=\sum_{n\geq 0} {\bf c}_g(n)z^n$ for the number ${\bf c}_g(n)$ of linear chord diagrams…
Quasi-Yamanouchi tableaux are a subset of semistandard Young tableaux and refine standard Young tableaux. They are closely tied to the descent set of standard Young tableaux and were introduced by Assaf and Searles to tighten Gessel's…
We derive two multivariate generating functions for three-dimensional Young diagrams (also called plane partitions). The variables correspond to a colouring of the boxes according to a finite Abelian subgroup G of SO(3). We use the vertex…
