Generalising the concept of a complete permutation polynomial over a finite field, we define completness to level $k$ for $k\ge1$ in fields of odd characteristic. We construct two families of polynomials that satisfy the condition of high…

The juxtaposition of permutation classes $\mathcal{C}$ and $\mathcal{D}$ is the class of all permutations formed by concatenations $\sigma\tau$, such that $\sigma$ is order isomorphic to a permutation in $\mathcal{C}$, and $\tau$ to a…

The length is(w) of the longest increasing subsequence of a permutation w in the symmetric group S_n has been the object of much investigation. We develop comparable results for the length as(w) of the longest alternating subsequence of w,…

It is shown that the maximum number of patterns that can occur in a permutation of length $n$ is asymptotically $2^n$. This significantly improves a previous result of Coleman.

We enumerate permutations that avoid all but one of the $k$ patterns of length $k$ starting with a monotone increasing subsequence of length $k-1$. We compare the size of such permutation classes to the size of the class of permutations…

Super-strong (elsewhere referred to as strong) Wilf equivalence is a type of Wilf equivalence on words that was introduced by Kitaev et al. in 2009. We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for two permutations in $n$ letters to be…

Infinite antichains of permutations have long been used to construct interesting permutation classes and counterexamples. We prove the existence and detail the construction of infinite antichains with arbitrarily large growth rates. As a…

We prove that, up to adding a complement, every modular representation of a finite group admits a finite resolution by permutation modules.

We introduce "fertility Wilf equivalence," "strong fertility Wilf equivalence," and "postorder Wilf equivalence," three variants of Wilf equivalence for permutation classes that formalize some phenomena that have appeared in the study of…

We prove that there are permutation classes (hereditary properties of permutations) of every growth rate (Stanley-Wilf limit) at least \lambda \approx 2.48187, the unique real root of x^5-2x^4-2x^2-2x-1, thereby establishing a conjecture of…

We give the class of finite groups which arise as the permutation groups of cyclic codes over finite fields. Furthermore, we extend the results of Brand and Huffman et al. and we find the properties of the set of permutations by which two…

A permutation is so-called two stack sortable if it (i) avoids the (scattered) pattern 2-3-4-1, and (ii) contains a 3-2-4-1 pattern only as part of a 3-5-2-4-1 pattern. Here we show that the permutations on [n] satisfying condition (ii)…

We prove several Wilf-equivalences for vincular patterns of length 4, some of which generalize to infinite families of vincular patterns. We also present functional equations for the generating functions for the number of permutations of…

This paper starts the Wilf-classification of mesh patterns of length 2. Although there are initially 1024 patterns to consider we introduce automatic methods to reduce the number of potentially different Wilf-classes to at most 65. By…

We will say that the permutations f_1,...,f_n is an e-solution of an equation if the normalized Hamming distance between its l.h.p. and r.h.p. is less than e. We give a sufficient conditions when near to an e-solution exists an exact…

We obtain upper bounds on the composition length of a finite permutation group in terms of the degree and the number of orbits, and analogous bounds for primitive, quasiprimitive and semiprimitive groups. Similarly, we obtain upper bounds…

What is the higher-dimensional analog of a permutation? If we think of a permutation as given by a permutation matrix, then the following definition suggests itself: A d-dimensional permutation of order n is an [n]^(d+1) array of zeros and…

The Collatz map is defined for a positive even integer as half that integer, and for a positive odd integer as that integer threefold, plus one. The Collatz conjecture states that when the map is iterated the number one is eventually…

We consider the distribution of the length of the longest subsequence avoiding a given pattern in a random permutation of length n. The well-studied case of a longest increasing subsequence corresponds to avoiding the pattern 21. We show…

Consider a grade 2 perfect ideal $I$ in $R=k[x_1,\cdots,x_d]$ which is generated by forms of the same degree. Assume that the presentation matrix $\varphi$ is almost linear, that is, all but the last column of $\varphi$ consist of entries…
