From geometry to generating functions: rectangulations and permutations

Discrete Mathematics 2024-04-02 v2 Computational Geometry Formal Languages and Automata Theory Combinatorics

Abstract

We enumerate several classes of pattern-avoiding rectangulations. We establish new bijective links with pattern-avoiding permutations, prove that their generating functions are algebraic, and confirm several conjectures by Merino and M\"utze. We also analyze a new class of rectangulations, called whirls, using a generating tree.
