We investigate quantitative aspects of the LEF property for subgroups of the topological full group $[[ \sigma ]]$ of a two-sided minimal subshift over a finite alphabet, measured via the LEF growth function. We show that the LEF growth of…

We provide a simple injective proof that the number of 132-avoiding permutations with a unique longest increasing subsequence is at least as large as the number of 132-avoiding permutations without a unique longest increasing subsequence.

This paper proves that in a non-elementary relatively hyperbolic group, the logarithm growth rate of any non-elementary subgroup has a linear lower bound by the logarithm of the size of the corresponding generating set. As a consequence,…

Previous work has studied the pattern count on singly restricted permutations. In this work, we focus on patterns of length 3 in multiply restricted permutations, especially for double and triple pattern-avoiding permutations. We derive…

The average value of log s(n)/n taken over the first N even integers is shown to converge to a constant lambda when N tends to infinity; moreover, the value of this constant is approximated and proven to be less than 0. Here s(n) sums the…

We study multivariate integration of functions that are invariant under permutations (of subsets) of their arguments. We find an upper bound for the $n$th minimal worst case error and show that under certain conditions, it can be bounded…

Let $m\ge 3$ be an integer. It is proved that the $m$-closure of a given solvable permutation group of degree $n$ can be constructed in time $n^{O(m)}$.

Given positive integers $n$ and $m$, let $p_n(m)$ be the probability that a uniform random permutation of $[n]$ has order exactly $m$. We show that, as $n \to \infty$, the maximum of $p_n(m)$ over all $m$ is asymptotic to $1/n$, the…

Let a deck of n cards be shuffled by successively exchanging the cards in positions 1, 2, ..., n with cards in randomly chosen positions. We show that for n equal to 18 or greater, the identity permutation is the most likely. We prove a…

The Lojasiewicz exponent at infinity of an entire function measures of the infimal rate of growth of its gradient. The authors compute the Lojasiewicz exponents at infinity of the 3-variable complex polynomials x - 3 x^{2n+1} y^{2q} + 2…

It is known that the number of overlap-free binary words of length n grows polynomially, while the number of cubefree binary words grows exponentially. We show that the dividing line between polynomial and exponential growth is 7/3. More…

For each integer k >= 2, let F(k) denote the largest n for which there exists a permutation \sigma \in S_n, all of whose patterns of length k are distinct. We prove that F(k) = k + \lfloor \sqrt{2k-3} \rfloor + e_k, where e_k \in {-1,0} for…

We prove that a nonsymmetric normal entry pattern of order $n$ ($n\ge 3$) has at most $n(n-3)/2+3$ distinct indeterminates and up to permutation similarity this number is attained by a unique pattern which is explicitly described.

We study the expansions of permutation statistics in the basis of functions counting occurrences of a fixed pattern in a permutation. We show the finiteness of these pattern expansions for a class of permutation statistics including the…

In this paper we find asymptotic enumerations for the number of line graphs on $n$-labelled vertices and for different types of related combinatorial objects called 2-covers. We find that the number of 2-covers, $s_n$, and proper 2-covers,…

We show that an arithmetic function which satisfies some weak multiplicativity properties and in addition has a non-decreasing or $\log$-uniformly continuous normal order is close to a function of the form $n\mapsto n^c$. As an application…

A graceful n-permutation is a graceful labeling of an n-vertex path P_n. In this paper we improve the asymptotic lower bound on the number of such permutations from (5/3)^n to 2.37^n. This is a computer-assisted proof based on an effective…
