In this paper we present a new version of the second author's factorization theorem for perfect matchings of symmetric graphs. We then use our result to solve four open problems of Propp on the enumeration of trimer tilings on the hexagonal…

We consider several new families of graphs obtained from Aztec rectangle and augmented Aztec rectangle graphs by trimming two opposite corners. We prove that the perfect matchings of these new graphs are enumerated by powers of $2$, $3$,…

We compute 2-enumerations of certain halved alternating sign matrices. In one case the enumeration equals the number of perfect matchings of a halved Aztec diamond. In the other case the enumeration equals the number of perfect matchings of…

We build a new perspective to count perfect matchings of a given graph. This idea is motivated by a construction on the relative cohomology group of surfaces. As an application of our theory, we reprove the celebrated Aztec Diamond theorem,…

In the last decade there have been many results about special families of graphs whose number of perfect matchings is given by perfect or near perfect powers. In this paper we present an approach that allows proving them in a unified way.…

We describe random generation algorithms for a large class of random combinatorial objects called Schur processes, which are sequences of random (integer) partitions subject to certain interlacing conditions. This class contains several…

We give another proof for the (-1)-enumeration of self-complementary plane partitions with at least one odd side-length by specializing a certain Schur function identity. The proof is analogous to Stanley's proof for the ordinary…

We consider a generating function of the domino tilings of an Aztec rectangle with several boundary unit squares removed. Our generating function involves two statistics: the rank of the tiling and half number of vertical dominoes as in the…

This paper studies non-crossing geometric perfect matchings. Two such perfect matchings are \emph{compatible} if they have the same vertex set and their union is also non-crossing. Our first result states that for any two perfect matchings…

We obtain a new formula to relate the value of a Schur polynomial with variables $(x_1,\ldots,x_N)$ with values of Schur polynomials at $(1,\ldots,1)$. This allows to study the limit shape of perfect matchings on a square hexagon lattice…

In this paper, we give inductive sum formulas to calculate the number of diagonally symmetric, and diagonally \& anti-diagonally symmetric domino tilings of Aztec Diamonds. As a byproduct, we also find such a formula for the unrestricted…

We show how to count tilings of Aztec diamonds and hexagons with defects using determinants. In several cases these determinants can be evaluated in closed form. In particular, we obtain solutions to problems 1, 2, and 10 in James Propp's…

In their unpublished work, Jockusch and Propp showed that a 2-enumeration of antisymmetric monotone triangles is given by a simple product formula. On the other hand, the author proved that the same formula counts the domino tilings of the…

This is a contribution to the number theory of the dimer problem. The number of dimer coverings (i.e., perfect matchings) of a square lattice graph is discussed modulo powers of 2.

In a graph, a perfect matching cut is an edge cut that is a perfect matching. Perfect Matching Cut (PMC) is the problem of deciding whether a given graph has a perfect matching cut, and is known to be NP-complete. We revisit the problem and…

Snake graphs and their perfect matchings play a key role in the description of cluster variables of cluster algebras associated to surfaces. In this paper, we introduce triangular snake graphs and establish a bijection between their routes…

We study Schroder paths drawn in a (m,n) rectangle, for any positive integers m and n. We get explicit enumeration formulas, closely linked to those for the corresponding (m,n)-Dyck paths. Moreover we study a Schroder version of…

Perfect Matching-Cut is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge-cut. We show that this problem is NP-complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for…

We consider the set $\mathcal M_n\left(\mathbb Z; H\right)$ of $n\times n$-matrices with integer elements of size at most $H$ and obtain and asymptotic formula on the number of matrices from $\mathcal M_n\left(\mathbb Z; H\right)$ with…

The Schur decomposition of a square matrix $A$ is an important intermediate step of state-of-the-art numerical algorithms for addressing eigenvalue problems, matrix functions, and matrix equations. This work is concerned with the following…
