Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group of all permutations of $\{1, \cdots, n\}$ with two generators: the transposition switching $1$ with $2$ and the cyclic permutation sending $k$ to $k+1$ for $1\leq k\leq n-1$ and $n$ to $1$ (denoted by…

Let $S_n$ denote the group all permutations of $n$. For every permutation $\sigma$, we let $\mathrm{des}(\sigma)$ denote the number of descents in $\sigma$ and $\mathrm{LRMin}(\sigma)$ denote the number of left-to-right minima of $\sigma$.…

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…

We present general links between statistics of non-Hermitian random matrices and the distribution of the number of cycles of some specific random permutations. In particular, we derive explicit formulas for the generating functions of the…

Let $\sigma$ and $\tau$ be patterns of length three; that is $\sigma, \tau \in \{123,132,213,231,312,321\}$. In this paper, we enumerate the set of cyclic permutations in $\mathcal{S}_n$ that avoid $\sigma$ in their one-line notation and…

Motivated by the randomized generation of slowly synchronizing automata, we study automata made of permutation letters and a merging letter of rank $ n\!-\!1 $. We present a constructive randomized procedure to generate synchronizing…

An involution is a permutation that is its own inverse. Given a permutation $\sigma$ of $[n],$ let $\mathbf{N}_{n}(\sigma)$ denote the number of ways to write $\sigma$ as a product of two involutions of $[n].$ If we endow the symmetric…

Given a binary word relation $\tau$ onto A * and a finite language X $\subseteq$ A * , a $\tau$-Gray cycle over X consists in a permutation w [i] 0$\le$i$\le$|X|--1 of X such that each word w [i] is an image under $\tau$ of the previous…

In this paper, we introduce a new method for computing generating functions with respect to the number of descents and left-to-right minima over the set of permutations which have no consecutive occurrences of a pattern that starts with 1.

The rank and select operations over a string of length n from an alphabet of size $\sigma$ have been used widely in the design of succinct data structures. In many applications, the string itself need be maintained dynamically, allowing…

In this article we consider the cycle structure of compositions of pairs of involutions in the symmetric group S_n chosen uniformly at random. These can be modeled as modified 2-regular graphs, giving rise to exponential generating…

We extend the reciprocity method of Jones and Remmel to study generating functions of the form $$\sum_{n \geq 0} \frac{t^n}{n!} \sum_{\sigma \in \mathcal{NM}_n(\Gamma)}x^{\mathrm{LRmin}(\sigma)}y^{1+\mathrm{des}(\sigma)}$$ where $\Gamma$ is…

Any permutation in the finite symmetric group can be written as a product of simple transpositions $s_i = (i~i+1)$. For a fixed permutation $\sigma \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ the products of minimal length are called reduced decompositions or…

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…

The circular descent of a permutation $\sigma$ is a set $\{\sigma(i)\mid \sigma(i)>\sigma(i+1)\}$. In this paper, we focus on the enumerations of permutations by the circular descent set. Let $cdes_n(S)$ be the number of permutations of…

A key principle in string processing is local consistency: using short contexts to handle matching fragments of a string consistently. String synchronizing sets [Kempa, Kociumaka; STOC 2019] are an influential instantiation of this…

A superpermutation is a sequence that contains every permutation of $n$ distinct symbols as a contiguous substring. For instance, a valid example for three symbols is a sequence that contains all six permutations. This paper introduces a…

We derive a simple functional equation with two catalytic variables characterising the generating function of 3-stack-sortable permutations. Using this functional equation, we extend the 174-term series to 1000 terms. From this series, we…

We define and study positional marked patterns, permutations $\tau$ where one of elements in $\tau$ is underlined. Given a permutation $\sigma$, we say that $\sigma$ has a $\tau$-match at position $i$ if $\tau$ occurs in $\sigma$ in such a…

A \emph{linear extension} of a partial order \(\preceq\) over items \(A = \{ 1, 2, \ldots, n \}\) is a permutation \(\sigma\) such that for all \(i < j\) in \(A\), it holds that \(\neg(\sigma(j) \preceq \sigma(i))\). Consider the problem of…
