We completely classify the locally finite, infinite graphs with pure mapping class groups admitting a coarsely bounded generating set. We also study algebraic properties of the pure mapping class group: We establish a semidirect product…
Certain families of combinatorial objects admit recursive descriptions in terms of generating trees: each node of the tree corresponds to an object, and the branch leading to the node encodes the choices made in the construction of the…
In this paper some generalizations of the sum of powers of natural numbers is considered. In particular, the class of sums whose generating function is the power of the generating function for the classical sums of powers is studying. The…
We provide formulas for generating functions of many types of paths in various rooted tree structures. We compute the $k$th moment of the generating functions for various types of vertical paths. In two specific familes of trees we find…
We study the generating function of rooted and unrooted hyperforests in a general complete hypergraph with n vertices by using a novel Grassmann representation of their generating functions. We show that this new approach encodes the known…
Recently we introduced the hypergraph matrix model (HMM), a Hermitian matrix model generalizing the classical Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). In this model the Gaussians of the GUE, whose moments count partitions of finite sets into pairs,…
The growth function is the generating function for sizes of spheres around the identity in Cayley graphs of groups. We present a novel method to calculate growth functions for automatic groups with normal form recognizing automata that…
We consider a disjoint cover (partition) of an undirected weighted finite graph $G$ by $|J|$ connected subgraphs (clusters) $\{S_{j}\}_{j\in J}$ and select a function $\zeta_{j}\geq 0$ on each of the clusters. For a given signal $f$ on $G$…
Following and generalizing a construction by Kontsevich, we associate a zeta function to any matrix with entries in a ring of noncommutative Laurent polynomials with integer coefficients. We show that such a zeta function is an algebraic…
We present a general framework to generate trees every vertex of which has a non-negative weight and a color. The colors are used to impose certain restrictions on the weight and colors of other vertices. We first extend the enumeration…
We define a fat staircase to be a Ferrers diagram corresponding to a partition of the form $(n^{\alpha_n}, {n-1}^{\alpha_{n-1}},..., 1^{\alpha_1})$, where $\alpha = (\alpha_1,...,\alpha_n)$ is a composition, or the $180^\circ$ rotation of…
Our goal in this work is to found a closed form for rational generat- ing functions, these generate a various families of polynomials and generalized polynomials, in order to get the general recursive formula satisfied by these polynomials.
A recent paper of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb uses topology and representation theory of the symmetric group to prove enumerative results about square-free polynomials and F-stable maximal tori of the general linear group over the algebraic…
Fatgraphs are multigraphs enriched with a cyclic order of the edges incident to a vertex. This paper presents algorithms to: (1) generate the set of all fatgraphs having a given genus and number of boundary cycles; (2) compute automorphisms…
In a recent paper we proposed the study of aggregation functions on lattices via clone theory approach. Observing that aggregation functions on lattices just correspond to $0,1$-monotone clones, we have shown that all aggregation functions…
A general explicit form for generating functions for approximating fractional derivatives is derived. To achieve this, an equivalent characterisation for consistency and order of approximations established on a general generating function…
In this paper, we introduce the generating functions of partition sequences. Partition sequences have a one-to-one correspondence with partitions. Therefore, the generating function has no multiplicity and appears meaningless initially.…
Working with generating functions, the combinatorics of a recurrence relation can be expressed in a way that allows for more efficient calculation of the quantity. This is true of the Catalan numbers for an ordered binary tree…
This paper generalizes Bass' work on zeta functions for uniform tree lattices. Using the theory of von Neumann algebras, machinery is developed to define the zeta function of a discrete group of automorphisms of a bounded degree tree. The…
We derive a formula connecting the orders of the automorphism groups of a finite group and of its covering groups.
