Permutation polynomials over finite fields have wide applications in many areas of science and engineering. In this paper, we present six new classes of permutation trinomials over $\mathbb{F}_{2^n}$ which have explicit forms by determining…
Stankova and West showed that for any non-negative integer $s$ and any permutation $\gamma$ of $\{4,5,\dots,s+3\}$ there are as many permutations that avoid $231\gamma$ as there are that avoid $312\gamma$. We extend this result to the…
We discuss a new notion of pattern avoidance motivated by the operad theory: pattern avoidance in planar labelled trees. It is a generalisation of various types of consecutive pattern avoidance studied before: consecutive patterns in words,…
We prove an existing conjecture that the sequence defined recursively by $a_1=1, a_2=2, a_n=4a_{n-1}-2a_{n-2}$ counts the number of length-$n$ permutations avoiding the four generalized permutation patterns 1-32-4, 1-42-3, 2-31-4, and…
Let $S_n$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]$ and let $\sigma=\sigma_1\cdots\sigma_n\in S_n$. For a subsequence $\{\sigma_{i_j}\}_{j=1}^k$ of $\{\sigma_i\}_{i=1}^n$ of length $k\ge2$, construct the ``up/down'' sequence $V_1\cdots…
Defant, Engen, and Miller defined a permutation to be uniquely sorted if it has exactly one preimage under West's stack-sorting map. We enumerate classes of uniquely sorted permutations that avoid a pattern of length three and a pattern of…
In 2012, Sagan and Savage introduced the notion of $st$-Wilf equivalence for a statistic $st$ and for sets of permutations that avoid particular permutation patterns which can be extended to generalized permutation patterns. In this paper…
A superpermutation is a sequence that contains every permutation of $n$ distinct symbols as a contiguous substring. For instance, a valid example for three symbols is a sequence that contains all six permutations. This paper introduces a…
The existence of apparently coincidental equalities (also called Wilf-equivalences) between the enumeration sequences, or generating functions, of various hereditary classes of combinatorial structures has attracted significant interest. We…
It is known that the number of permutations in the symmetric group $S_{2n}$ with cycles of odd lengths only is equal to the number of permutations with cycles of even lengths only. We prove a refinement of this equality, involving descent…
Turyn-type sequences, TT(n), are quadruples of {+,-1}-sequences (A;B;C;D), with lengths n,n,n,n-1 respectively, where the sum of the nonperiodic autocorrelation functions of A,B and twice that of C,D is a delta-function (i.e., vanishes…
Permutation polynomials with few terms (especially permutation binomials) attract many people due to their simple algebraic structure. Despite the great interests in the study of permutation binomials, a complete characterization of…
For a fixed positive integer n, let S_n denote the symmetric group of n! permutations on n symbols, and let maj(sigma) denote the major index of a permutation sigma. For positive integers k<m not greater than n and non-negative integers i…
Pin sequences play an important role in the structural study of permutation classes. In this paper, we study the permutation classes that comprise all the finite subpermutations contained in an infinite pin sequence. We prove that these…
Permutation polynomials with coefficients 1 over finite fields attract researchers' interests due to their simple algebraic form. In this paper, we first construct four classes of fractional permutation polynomials over the cyclic subgroup…
We solve the classification problem for integrable lattices of the form $u_{,t}=f(u_{-2},\dots,u_2)$ under the additional assumption of invariance with respect to the group of linear-fractional transformations. The obtained list contains 5…
Two permutation classes, the X-class and subpermutations of the increasing oscillation are shown to exhibit an exponential Wilf-collapse. This means that the number of distinct enumerations of principal subclasses of each of these classes…
Let $V_n$ be the number of equivalence classes of invertible maps from $\{0,1\}^n$ to $\{0,1\}^n$, under action of permutation of variables on domain and range. So far, the values $V_n$ have been known for $n\le 6$. This paper describes the…
We study the longest increasing subsequence problem for random permutations avoiding the pattern $312$ and another pattern $\tau$ under the uniform probability distribution. We determine the exact and asymptotic formulas for the average…
A permutation \tau contains another permutation \sigma as a pattern if \tau has a subsequence whose elements are in the same order with respect to size as the elements in \sigma. This defines a partial order on the set of all permutations,…
