For each ${\small b\in(0, \infty)}$ we intend to generate a decreasing sequence of subsets $(\mathcal{Y}_{b}^{(n)}) \subset Y_{\mathrm{conc}}$ depending on $b$ such that whenever $n\in\mathbb{N}$, then $\mathcal{A}\cap\mathcal{Y}_{b}^{(n)}%…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a random set constructed by picking independently each element of $\{1, \dots, n\}$ with probability $\alpha \in (0, 1)$. We give a formula for the probability that a rational number $q$ belong to the random ratio set…

In this note, we present a conjecture on intersections of set families, and a rephrasing of the conjecture in terms of principal downsets of Boolean lattices. The conjecture informally states that, whenever we can express the measure of a…

A result [The intersection of a matroid and a simplicial complex, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 358] from 2006 of Aharoni and the first author of this paper states that for any two positive integers $p,q$, where $p$ divides $q$, if a matroid…

We prove a formula for the number of permutations in $S_n$ such that their first $n-k$ entries are increasing and their longest increasing subsequence has length $n-k$. This formula first appeared as a consequence of character polynomial…

Recently, B\'{e}nyi and the second author introduced two combinatorial interpretations for symmetrized poly-Bernoulli polynomials. In the present study, we construct bijections between these combinatorial objects. We also define various…

We find exact and asymptotic formulas for the number of pairs $(p,q)$ of $N$-cycles such that the all cycles of the product $p\cdot q$ have lengths from a given integer set. We then apply these results to prove a surprisingly high lower…

In this article, we identify the existence of a divisibility relationship between the number of ring homomorphisms and surjective group homomorphisms. We demonstrate that for finite cyclic structures, the number of ring homomorphisms from…

In the several contexts such as combinatorial number theory, families of sets of positive integers closed under taking subsets have been investigated. Then it is sometimes useful to give bijections between the set of the one-sided infinite…

We define a counting function that is related to the binomial coefficients. An explicit formula for this function is proved. In some particular cases, simpler explicit formuls are derived. We also derive a formula for the number of…

We consider the restricted subsets of $\mathbb{N}_n=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$ with $q\geq1$ being the largest member of the set $\mathcal{Q}$ of disallowed differences between subset elements. We obtain new results on various classes of problem…

We build on recent work of Yeats, Courtiel, and others involving connected chord diagrams. We first derive from a Hopf-algebraic foundation a class of tree-like functional equations and prove that they are solved by weighted generating…

Let $X$ be a finite collection of sets. We count the number of ways a disjoint union of $n-1$ subsets in $X$ is a set in $X$, and estimate this number from above by $|X|^{c(n)}$ where $$ c(n)=\left(1-\frac{(n-1)\ln (n-1)}{n\ln n}…

In an award-winning expository article, V. Pozdnyakov and J.M. Steele gave a beautiful demonstration of the ramifications of a basic bijection for permutations. The aim of this note is to connect this correspondence to a seemingly unrelated…

In this paper, we show that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of compositions (resp. prime compositions) of $n$ and the set of circulant digraphs (resp. connected circulant digraphs) of order $n$. We also show that there…

In 2017, Igusa and Todorov gave a bijection between signed exceptional sequences and ordered partial clusters. In this paper, we show that every term in an exceptional sequence is either relatively projective or relatively injective or both…

Arnol'd proved in 1992 that Springer numbers enumerate the Snakes, which are type $B$ analogs of alternating permutations. Chen, Fan and Jia in 2011 introduced the labeled ballot paths and established a ``hard'' bijection with snakes.…

We apply to the $n\times n$ chessboard the counting theory from Part I for nonattacking placements of chess pieces with unbounded straight-line moves, such as the queen. Part I showed that the number of ways to place $q$ identical…

Regular $A_n$-, $B_n$- and $C_n$-crystals are edge-colored directed graphs, with ordered colors $1,2,...,n$, which are related to representations of quantized algebras $U_q(\mathfrak{sl}_{n+1})$, $U_q(\mathfrak{sp}_{2n})$ and…

The chromatic polynomial and its generalization, the chromatic symmetric function, are two important graph invariants. Celebrated theorems of Birkhoff, Whitney, and Stanley show how both objects can be expressed in three different ways: as…
