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…

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…

In this text, we consider random permutations which can be written as free words in several independent random permutations: firstly, we fix a non trivial word $w$ in letters $g_1,g_1^{-1},..., g_k,g_k^{-1}$, secondly, for all $n$, we…

Let $G$ be a finite group. The ring $R_\mathbb{K}(G)$ of virtual characters of $G$ over the field $\mathbb{K}$ is a $\lambda$-ring; as such, it is equipped with the so-called $\Gamma$-filtration, first defined by Grothendieck. We explore…

John Tromp introduced the so-called 'binary lambda calculus' as a way to encode lambda terms in terms of binary words. Later, Grygiel and Lescanne conjectured that the number of binary lambda terms with $m$ free indices and of size $n$…

Let $\textbf{T}(n,k)$ be the set of strings of length $n$ over the alphabet $\Sigma=\{1,2,\ldots,k\}$. A universal cycle for $\textbf{T}(n,k)$ can be constructed using a greedy algorithm: start with the string $k^n$, and continually append…

Let $G$ be a graph with edge set $E(G)$. Denote by $d_w$ the degree of a vertex $w$ of $G$. The sigma index of $G$ is defined as $\sum_{uv\in E(G)}(d_u-d_v)^2$. A connected graph of order $n$ and size $n+k-1$ is known as a connected…

This paper initiates the study of shortening universal cycles (u-cycles) and universal words (u-words) for permutations either by using incomparable elements, or by using non-deterministic symbols. The latter approach is similar in nature…

Given an alphabet A and a binary relation $\tau$ $\subseteq$ A * x A * , a language X $\subseteq$ A * is $\tau$-independent if $\tau$ (X) $\cap$ X = $\emptyset$; X is $\tau$-closed if $\tau$ (X) $\subseteq$ X. The language X is complete if…

A permutation $\sigma \in S_n$ is a $k$-superpattern (or $k$-universal) if it contains each $\tau \in S_k$ as a pattern. This notion of "superpatterns" can be generalized to words on smaller alphabets, and several questions about…

Most slowly synchronizing automata over binary alphabets are circular, i.e., containing a letter permuting the states in a single cycle, and their set of synchronizing words has maximal state complexity, which also implies complete…

Given a countable set X (usually taken to be N or Z), an infinite permutation $\pi$ of X is a linear ordering $<_\pi$ of X. This paper investigates the combinatorial complexity of infinite permutations on N associated with the image of…

Recently, Archer et al.\ studied cyclic permutations that avoid the decreasing pattern $\delta_k=k(k-1)\cdots21$ in one-line notation and avoid another pattern $\tau$ of length $4$ in all their cycle forms. There are three cases in total to…

Vincular or dashed patterns resemble classical patterns except that some of the letters within an occurrence are required to be adjacent. We prove several infinite families of Wilf-equivalences for k-ary words involving vincular patterns…

In combinatorics on words, a word w over an alphabet Sigma is said to avoid a pattern p over an alphabet Delta if there is no factor x of w and no non-erasing morphism h from Delta^* to Sigma^* such that h(p) = x. Bell and Goh have recently…

If we treat the symmetric group $S_n$ as a probability measure space where each element has measure $1/n!$, then the number of cycles in a permutation becomes a random variable. The Cycle Length Lemma describes the expected values of…

A quasi-Gray code of dimension $n$ and length $\ell$ over an alphabet $\Sigma$ is a sequence of distinct words $w_1,w_2,\dots,w_\ell$ from $\Sigma^n$ such that any two consecutive words differ in at most $c$ coordinates, for some fixed…

Given a countable set X (usually taken to be the natural numbers or integers), an infinite permutation, \pi, of X is a linear ordering of X. This paper investigates the combinatorial complexity of infinite permutations on the natural…

Let $c(G)$ denote the circumference of a graph $G$, i.e., the number of vertices in its longest cycle. For positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n>k$, let $\varGamma(n;k)$ be the class of graphs of order $n$ with $c(G) = n-k$ such that every…

The subject of this paper is the cycle structure of the random permutation $\sigma$ of $[N]$, which is the product of $k$ independent random cycles of maximal length $N$. We use the character-based Fourier transform to study the number of…
