Here we present the reasoning behind, and program to find, the generating functions for the number of permutations in the title. The article duals as the "accompanying" Maple package.
Evolutionary graph theory has grown to be an area of intense study. Despite the amount of interest in the field, it seems to have grown separate from other subfields of population genetics and evolution. In the current work I introduce the…
In this paper, we compute and demonstrate the equivalence of the joint distribution of the first letter and descent statistics on six avoidance classes of permutations corresponding to two patterns of length four. This distribution is in…
We introduce a new permutation statistic, namely, the number of cycles of length $q$ consisting of consecutive integers, and consider the distribution of this statistic among the permutations of $\{1,2,...,n\}$. We determine explicit…
A redundant generating function is a generating function having terms which are not part of the solution of the original problem. We use redundant generating functions to study two path problems. In the first application we explain a…
We provide a combinatorial approach to the largest power of $p$ in the number of permutations $\pi$ with $\pi^p=1$, for a fixed prime number $p$. With this approach, we find the largest power of $2$ in the number of involutions, in the…
We bound the number of permutations with a fixed number $r$ of $321 \ominus p_0$ patterns by a constant times the number of permutations which avoid $321 \ominus p_0$. We use this new upper bound to show that the ordinary generating…
We introduce some new classes of words and permutations characterized by the second difference condition $\pi(i-1) + \pi(i+1) - 2\pi(i) \leq k$, which we call the $k$-convexity condition. We demonstrate that for any sized alphabet and…
Let $d,n$ be positive integers and $S$ be an arbitrary set of positive integers. We say that $d$ is an $S$-divisor of $n$ if $d|n$ and gcd $(d,n/d)\in S$. Consider the $S$-convolution of arithmetical functions given by (1.1), where the sum…
The concept and the construction of modular graph functions are generalized from genus-one to higher genus surfaces. The integrand of the four-graviton superstring amplitude at genus-two provides a generating function for a special class of…
A simple permutation is one which maps no proper non-singleton interval onto an interval. We consider the enumeration of simple permutations from several aspects. Our results include a straightforward relationship between the ordinary…
An involution of a real commutative algebra $A$ is a real-linear homomorphism $f : A \rightarrow A$ such that $f^2 = \mathrm{Id}$. We show that there are six involutions of the algebra of bicomplex numbers, contrary to the actual number of…
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)…
Bicubic maps are in bijection with \beta(0,1)-trees. We introduce two new ways of decomposing \beta(0,1)-trees. Using this we define an endofunction on \beta(0,1)-trees, and thus also on bicubic maps. We show that this endofunction is in…
Given a commutative ring with identity $R$, many different and interesting operations can be defined over the set $H_R$ of sequences of elements in $R$. These operations can also give $H_R$ the structure of a ring. We study some of these…
We introduce the $2$-regular integer sequence A383066 $= (s(n))_{n \geq 1}$, which begins $0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 2, \ldots$. We prove that the number of occurrences of an integer $m \geq 0$ in this sequence is equal to $\tau(m^2+1)$, the number…
The problem of map enumeration concerns counting connected spatial graphs, with a specified number $j$ of vertices, that can be embedded in a compact surface of genus $g$ in such a way that its complement yields a cellular decomposition of…
Let $\sigma$ be a permutation on $n$ letters. We say that a permutation $\tau$ is an even (resp. odd) $k$th root of $\sigma$ if $\tau^k=\sigma$ and $\tau$ is an even (resp. odd) permutation. In this article, we obtain generating functions…
An expression is any mathematical formula that contains certain formal variables and operations to be executed in a specified order. In computer science, it is usually convenient to represent each expression in the form of an expression…
In this paper we continue the study of permutations avoiding the vincular pattern $1-32-4$ by constructing a generating tree with a single label for these permutations. This construction finally provides a clearer explanation of why a…
