Long samples of text from neural language models can be of poor quality. Truncation sampling algorithms--like top-$p$ or top-$k$ -- address this by setting some words' probabilities to zero at each step. This work provides framing for the…

Patterns provide a concise, syntactic way of describing a set of strings, but their expressive power comes at a price: a number of fundamental decision problems concerning (erasing) pattern languages, such as the membership problem and…

Given a subset of size $k$ of a very large universe a randomized way to find this subset could consist of deleting half of the universe and then searching the remaining part. With a probability of $2^{-k}$ one will succeed. By probability…

The sequence reconstruction problem asks for the recovery of a sequence from multiple noisy copies, where each copy may contain up to $r$ errors. In the case of permutations on \(n\) letters under the Hamming metric, this problem is closely…

A reconstruction problem of words from scattered factors asks for the minimal information, like multisets of scattered factors of a given length or the number of occurrences of scattered factors from a given set, necessary to uniquely…

Using techniques from Poisson approximation, we prove explicit error bounds on the number of permutations that avoid any pattern. Most generally, we bound the total variation distance between the joint distribution of pattern occurrences…

Word embedding, specially with its recent developments, promises a quantification of the similarity between terms. However, it is not clear to which extent this similarity value can be genuinely meaningful and useful for subsequent tasks.…

The study of substructures in random objects has a long history, beginning with Erd\H{o}s and R\'enyi's work on subgraphs of random graphs. We study the existence of certain substructures in random subsets of vector spaces over finite…

We discuss scaling limits of large bipartite quadrangulations of positive genus. For a given $g$, we consider, for every $n \ge 1$, a random quadrangulation $\q_n$ uniformly distributed over the set of all rooted bipartite quadrangulations…

Using standard methods (due to Janson, Stein-Chen, and Talagrand) from probabilistic combinatorics, we explore the following general theme: As one progresses from each member of a family of objects ${\cal A}$ being "covered" by at most one…

There is a deep connection between permutations and trees. Certain sub-structures of permutations, called sub-permutations, bijectively map to sub-trees of binary increasing trees. This opens a powerful tool set to study enumerative and…

We consider a variant of the set covering problem with uncertain parameters, which we refer to as the chance-constrained set multicover problem (CC-SMCP). In this problem, we assume that there is uncertainty regarding whether a selected set…

This article presents uniform random generators of plane partitions according to the size (the number of cubes in the 3D interpretation). Combining a bijection of Pak with the method of Boltzmann sampling, we obtain random samplers that are…

Consider a random system $\mathfrak{f}_1(x)=0,\ldots,\mathfrak{f}_n(x)=0$ of $n$ random real polynomials in $n$ variables, where each $\mathfrak{f}_k$ has a prescribed set of exponent vectors in a set $A_k\subseteq \mathbb{Z}^n$ of size…

Recently, Kitaev and Remmel [Classifying descents according to parity, Annals of Combinatorics, to appear 2007] refined the well-known permutation statistic ``descent'' by fixing parity of one of the descent's numbers. Results in that paper…

We consider the well-studied pattern counting problem: given a permutation $\pi \in \mathbb{S}_n$ and an integer $k > 1$, count the number of order-isomorphic occurrences of every pattern $\tau \in \mathbb{S}_k$ in $\pi$. Our first result…

Permutation codes of length $n$ and distance $d$ is a set of permutations on $n$ symbols, where the distance between any two elements in the set is at least $d$. Subgroup permutation codes are permutation codes with the property that the…

In 2017, Vesti proposed the problem of determining the repetition threshold for infinite rich words, i.e., for infinite words in which all factors of length $n$ contain $n$ distinct nonempty palindromic factors. In 2020, Currie, Mol, and…

Superpermutations are words over a finite alphabet containing every permutation as a factor. Finding the minimal length of a superpermutation is still an open problem. In this article, we introduce superpermutations matrices. We establish a…

We study here the so called subsequence pattern matching also known as hidden pattern matching in which one searches for a given pattern $w$ of length $m$ as a subsequence in a random text of length $n$. The quantity of interest is the…
