It is well known that descents and excedances are equidistributed in the symmetric group. We show that the descent and excedance enumerators, summed over permutations with a fixed first letter are identical when we perform a simple change…

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. Given a permutation $\sigma=\sigma_1\sigma_2 \cdots \sigma_n \in S_n$, we say it has a descent at index $i$ if $\sigma_i>\sigma_{i+1}$. Let $\mathcal{D}(\sigma)$ be the…

We present identities for permutations with fixed points. The formulas are based on successive derivations or integrations of the determinant of a particular matrix.

We show that there is a bijection between real-linear automorphisms of the multicomplex numbers of order $n$ and signed permutations of length $2^{n-1}$. This allows us to deduce a number of results on the multicomplex numbers, including a…

We present a bijection between 321- and 132-avoiding permutations that preserves the number of fixed points and the number of excedances. This gives a simple combinatorial proof of recent results of Robertson, Saracino and Zeilberger, and…

Let $\mathcal{M}$ be a set with $M$ elements, let $\psi :\mathcal{M}\to\mathcal{M}$ be a bijective involution, and let~$\boldsymbol{\mathcal{X}}_{\psi}$ be the set of sequences $(x_1,\dots,x_M)\in\mathcal{M}^M$ with the property that…

We present an explicit bijection between finite-decimal real numbers and natural numbers ($\mathbb{N} = \{1, 2, 3, ...\}$) using a systematic 4-tuple parametrization with closed-form mathematical formulas for enumeration. Our enumeration…

It was shown recently by the authors that, for any n, there is equality between the distributions of certain triplets of statistics on nxn alternating sign matrices (ASMs) and descending plane partitions (DPPs) with each part at most n. The…

We consider fixed-point equations for probability distributions on isometry classes of measured metric spaces. The construction is required to be recursive and tree-like, but we allow loops for the geodesics between points in the support of…

In sorting literature, comparative statics for multidimensional assignment models with general output functions and input distributions is an important open question. We provide a complete theory of comparative statics for technological…

We evaluate combinatorially certain connection coefficients of the symmetric group that count the number of factorizations of a long cycle as a product of three permutations. Such factorizations admit an important topological interpretation…

Our paper is the first study of what one might call "reverse mathematics of explicit fixpoints". We study two methods of constructing such fixpoints for formulas whose principal connective is the intuitionistic Lewis arrow. Our main…

In this paper we continue the study of group representations which are counterexamples to the Ize conjecture. As in the previous papers by Lauterbach [14] and Lauterbach & Matthews [15] we find new infinite series of finite groups leading…

We define a map between the set of permutations that avoid either the four patterns $3214,3241,4213,4231$ or $3124,3142,4123,4132$, and the set of Dyck prefixes. This map, when restricted to either of the two classes, turns out to be a…

We study how the inversion statistic is influenced by fixed points in a permutation. %The expected number of inversions in a uniformly random permutation in $S_n$ is $\frac{n(n-1)}4$. For each $n\in\mathbb{N}$, and each $k\in\{0,1,\cdots,…
