Denote by $p(k)$ the limit, as $n \rightarrow \infty$, of the probability that a random permutation on a set of size $n$ has an invariant set of size $k$. We give an asymptotic formula for $p(k)$, showing that it is asymptotically…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For each integer $k\geq 1$, let $S_{n,k}$ be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles. A subset $H\subseteq S_{n,k}$ is to be a matching if…

We study scaling limits of random permutations ("permutons") constrained by having fixed densities of a finite number of patterns. We show that the limit shapes are determined by maximizing entropy over permutons with those constraints. In…

Addressing a question of Cameron and Erd\Ho s, we show that, for infinitely many values of $n$, the number of subsets of $\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ that do not contain a $k$-term arithmetic progression is at most $2^{O(r_k(n))}$, where $r_k(n)$ is…

Given positive integers m,n,s,t, let z(m,n,s,t) be the maximum number of ones in a (0,1) matrix of size m-by-n that does not contain an all ones submatrix of size s-by-t. We find a flexible upper bound on z(m,n,s,t) that implies the known…

Motivated by complexity questions in integer programming, this paper aims to contribute to the understanding of combinatorial properties of integer matrices of row rank $r$ and with bounded subdeterminants. In particular, we study the…

In this paper we study different restrictions imposed over the set of permutations of size $n$, $S_n$, and for specific classes of restrictions study the cycle structure of corresponding permutations. More specifically, we prove that for…

We prove that the set of growth rates of permutation classes includes an infinite sequence of intervals whose infimum is $\theta_B\approx2.35526$, and that it also contains every value at least $\lambda_B\approx2.35698$. These results…

Let ${X}_{k}=(x_{k1}, \cdots, x_{kp})', k=1,\cdots,n$, be a random sample of size $n$ coming from a $p$-dimensional population. For a fixed integer $m\geq 2$, consider a hypercubic random tensor $\mathbf{{T}}$ of $m$-th order and rank $n$…

Let $\textrm{S}(n,t,k)$ be the maximum size of a code containing only vectors of the $k$th shell of the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^n$ such that the inner product between distinct vectors does not exceed $t$. In this paper we compute lower…

Each group G of nxn permutation matrices has a corresponding permutation polytope, P(G):=conv(G) in R^{nxn}. We relate the structure of P(G) to the transitivity of G. In particular, we show that if G has t nontrivial orbits, then…

Fix positive integers $k$ and $d$. We show that, as $n\to\infty$, any set system $\mathcal{A} \subset 2^{[n]}$ for which the VC dimension of $\{ \triangle_{i=1}^k S_i \mid S_i \in \mathcal{A}\}$ is at most $d$ has size at most…

The set of all permutations with $n$ symbols is a symmetric group denoted by $S_n$. A transposition tree, $T$, is a spanning tree over its $n$ vertices $V_T=${$1, 2, 3, \ldots n$} where the vertices are the positions of a permutation $\pi$…

We give an upper bound of $n((n-1)!-(n-3)!)$ for the possible largest size of a subsemigroup of the full transformational semigroup over $n$ elements consisting only of nonpermutational transformations. As an application we gain the same…

Every k entries in a permutation can have one of k! different relative orders, called patterns. How many times does each pattern occur in a large random permutation of size n? The distribution of this k!-dimensional vector of pattern…

By an $r$-tuplet in a permutation we mean a family of $r$ pairwise disjoint subsequences with the same relative order. The length of an $r$-tuplet is defined as the length of any single subsequence in the family. Let $t^{(r)}(n)$ denote the…

Two permutations of $[n]=\{1,2 \ldots n\}$ are \textit{$k$-neighbor separated} if there are two elements that are neighbors in one of the permutations and that are separated by exactly $k-2$ other elements in the other permutation. Let the…

In this paper, we are interested in the moments of the characteristic polynomial $Z_n(x)$ of the $n\times n$ permutation matrices with respect to the uniform measure. We use a combinatorial argument to write down the generating function of…

We give a short proof for an explicit upper bound on the proportion of permutations of a given prime order $p$, acting on a finite set of given size $n$, which is sharp for certain $n$ and $p$. Namely, we prove that if $n\equiv k\pmod{p}$…

Obtaining superlinear lower bounds on tensor rank is a major open problem in complexity theory. In this paper we propose a generalization of the approach used by Strassen in the proof of his 3n/2 border rank lower bound. Our approach…
