International audience In this paper we present a work in progress on a conjectural new combinatorial model for the Genocchi numbers. This new model called irreducible k-shapes has a strong algebraic background in the theory of symmetric functions and leads to seemingly new features on the theory of Genocchi numbers. In particular, the natural q-analogue coming from the degree of symmetric functions seems to be unknown so far. Dans cet article, nous présentons un travail en cours sur un nouveau modèle combinatoire conjectural pour les nombres de Genocchi. Ce nouveau modèle est celui des k-formes irréductibles, qui repose sur de solides bases algébriques en lien avec la théorie des fonctions symétriques et qui conduit à des aspects apparemment nouveaux de la théorie des nombres de Genocchi. En particulier, le q-analogue naturel venant du degré des fonctions symétriques semble inconnu jusqu'ici.

Graph Theory International audience In this document, we study the scope of the following graph model: each vertex is assigned to a box in ℝd and to a representative element that belongs to that box. Two vertices are connected by an edge if and only if its respective boxes contain the opposite representative element. We focus our study on the case where boxes (and therefore representative elements) associated to vertices are spread in ℝ. We give both, a combinatorial and an intersection characterization of the model. Based on these characterizations, we determine graph families that contain the model (e. g., boxicity 2 graphs) and others that the new model contains (e. g., rooted directed path). We also study the particular case where each representative element is the center of its respective box. In this particular case, we provide constructive representations for interval, block and outerplanar graphs. Finally, we show that the general and the particular model are not equivalent by constructing a graph family that separates the two cases.

Combinatorial Group

We study a new model of combinatorial group testing: the item to be found (a.k.a. the target) occupies an unknown node in a graph. At each time instant, we can test (or query) a subset of the nodes and learn whether the target occupies any of such nodes. Immediately after the result of the test is available, the target can move to any node adjacent to its present location. The search finishes when we are able to locate the object with some predefined accuracy [Formula: see text] (a parameter fixed beforehand), i.e., to indicate a set of [Formula: see text] nodes that includes the location of the object. In this paper we study two types of problems related to the above model: (i) what is the minimum value of the accuracy parameter for which a search strategy in the above sense exists; (ii) given the accuracy, what is the minimum number of tests that allow to locate the target. We study these questions on paths, cycles, and trees as underlying graphs and provide tight answers for the above questions. We also consider a restricted variant of the problem, where the number of moves of the target is bounded.

arXiv : http://arxiv.org/abs/0912.2212 International audience For any finite Coxeter group $W$, we introduce two new objects: its cutting poset and its biHecke monoid. The cutting poset, constructed using a generalization of the notion of blocks in permutation matrices, almost forms a lattice on $W$. The construction of the biHecke monoid relies on the usual combinatorial model for the $0-Hecke$ algebra $H_0(W)$, that is, for the symmetric group, the algebra (or monoid) generated by the elementary bubble sort operators. The authors previously introduced the Hecke group algebra, constructed as the algebra generated simultaneously by the bubble sort and antisort operators, and described its representation theory. In this paper, we consider instead the monoid generated by these operators. We prove that it admits |W| simple and projective modules. In order to construct the simple modules, we introduce for each $w∈W$ a combinatorial module $T_w$ whose support is the interval $[1,w]_R$ in right weak order. This module yields an algebra, whose representation theory generalizes that of the Hecke group algebra, with the combinatorics of descents replaced by that of blocks and of the cutting poset. Pour tout groupe de Coxeter fini $W$, nous définissons deux nouveaux objets : son ordre de coupures et son monoïde de Hecke double. L'ordre de coupures, construit au moyen d'une généralisation de la notion de bloc dans les matrices de permutations, est presque un treillis sur $W$. La construction du monoïde de Hecke double s'appuie sur le modèle combinatoire usuel de la $0-algèbre$ de Hecke $H_0(W)$, pour le groupe symétrique, l'algèbre (ou le monoïde) engendré par les opérateurs de tri par bulles élémentaires. Les auteurs ont introduit précédemment l'algèbre de Hecke-groupe, construite comme l'algèbre engendrée conjointement par les opérateurs de tri et d'anti-tri, et décrit sa théorie des représentations. Dans cet article, nous considérons le monoïde engendré par ces opérateurs. Nous montrons qu'il admet $|W|$ modules simples et projectifs. Afin de construire ses modules simples, nous introduisons pour tout $w∈W$ un module combinatoire $T_w$ dont le support est l'intervalle [$1,w]_R$ pour l'ordre faible droit. Ce module détermine une algèbre dont la théorie des représentations généralise celle de l'algèbre de Hecke groupe, en remplaçant la combinatoire des descentes par celle des blocs et de l'ordre de coupures.

Using both algebraic and combinatorial methods, we derive explicit formulas, recursions and generating functions for these $q$-analogs. We give a weight preserving bijective correspondence between our combinatorial model and rook placements on Ferrer boards. We outline a direct application of our theory to the theory of dual graded graphs developed by Fomin. Lastly we define a natural $p,q$-analog of these generalized Stirling numbers.

special issue dedicated to the second edition of the conference AutoMathA: from Mathematics to Applications International audience We introduce a new model of two-way finite automaton, which is endowed with the capability of resetting the position of the tape head to the left end of the tape in a single move during the computation. Several variants of this model are examined, with the following results: The weakest known model of computation where quantum computers recognize more languages with bounded error than their classical counterparts is identified. We prove that two-way probabilistic and quantum finite automata (2PFAs and 2QFAs) can be considerably more concise than both their one-way versions (1PFAs and 1QFAs), and two-way nondeterministic finite automata (2NFAs). For this purpose, we demonstrate several infinite families of regular languages which can be recognized with some fixed probability greater than 1 2 by just tuning the transition amplitudes of a 2QFA (and, in one case, a 2PFA) with a constant number of states, whereas the sizes of the corresponding 1PFAs, 1QFAs and 2NFAs grow without bound. We also show that 2QFAs with mixed states can support highly efficient probability amplification.

International audience A finite subgroup $G$ of $GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ is involutory if the sum of the dimensions of its irreducible complex representations is given by the number of absolute involutions in the group, i.e. elements $g \in G$ such that $g \bar{g}=1$, where the bar denotes complex conjugation. A uniform combinatorial model is constructed for all non-exceptional irreducible complex reflection groups which are involutory including, in particular, all infinite families of finite irreducible Coxeter groups. If $G$ is a classical Weyl group this result is much refined in a way which is compatible with the Robinson-Schensted correspondence on involutions. Un sous-groupe fini $G$ de GL(n,ℂ) est dit involutoire si la somme des dimensions de ses représentations irréductibles complexes est donné par le nombre de involutions absolues dans le groupe, c'est-a-dire le nombre de éléments $g \in G$ tels que $g \bar{g}=1$, où le bar dénote la conjugaison complexe. Un modèle combinatoire uniforme est construit pour tous les groupes de réflexions complexes irréductibles qui sont involutoires, en comprenant, toutes les familles de groupes de Coxeter finis irréductibles. Si $G$ est un groupe de Weyl ce résultat peut se raffiner d'une manière compatible avec la correspondance de Robinson-Schensted sur les involutions.

Nous Utilisons

International audience Exceptional sequences are certain ordered sequences of quiver representations. We use noncrossing edge-labeled trees in a disk with boundary vertices (expanding on T. Araya’s work) to classify exceptional sequences of representations of $Q$, the linearly ordered quiver with $n$ vertices. We also show how to use variations of this model to classify $c$-matrices of $Q$, to interpret exceptional sequences as linear extensions, and to give a simple bijection between exceptional sequences and certain chains in the lattice of noncrossing partitions. In the case of $c$-matrices, we also give an interpretation of $c$-matrix mutation in terms of our noncrossing trees with directed edges. Les suites exceptionnelles sont certaines suites ordonnées de représentations de carquois. Nous utilisons des arbres aux arêtes étiquetés et aux sommets dans le bord d’un disque (expansion sur le travail de T. Araya) pour classifier les suites exceptionnelles de représentations du carquois linéairement ordonné à $n$ sommets. Nous exploitons des variations de ce modèle pour classifier les $c$-matrices dudit carquois, pour interpréter les suites exceptionnelles comme des extensions linéaires, et pour donner une bijection élémentaire entre les suites exceptionnelles et certaines chaînes dans le réseau des partitions sans croisement. Dans le cas des $c$-matrices, nous donnons également une interprétation de la mutation des $c$-matrices en termes des arbres sans croisement aux arêtes orientés.

International audience The q-semicircular law as introduced by Bożejko and Speicher interpolates between the Gaussian law and the semicircular law, and its moments have a combinatorial interpretation in terms of matchings and crossings. We prove that the cumulants of this law are, up to some factor, polynomials in q with nonnegative coefficients. This is done by showing that they are obtained by an enumeration of connected matchings, weighted by the evaluation at (1,q) of a Tutte polynomial. The two particular cases q=0 and q=2 have also alternative proofs, related with the fact that these particular evaluation of the Tutte polynomials count some orientations on graphs. Our methods also give a combinatorial model for the cumulants of the free Poisson law. La loi q-semicirculaire introduite par Bożejko et Speicher interpole entre la loi gaussienne et la loi semi-circulaire, et ses moments ont une interprétation combinatoire en termes de couplages et croisements. Nous prouvons que les cumulants de cette loi sont, à un facteur près, des polynômes en q à coefficients positifs. La méthode consiste à obtenir ces cumulants par une énumération de couplages connexes, pondérés par l’évaluation en (1,q) d'un polynôme de Tutte. Les cas particuliers q=0 et q=2 ont une preuve alternative, reliè au fait que des évaluations particulières du polynôme de Tutte comptent certaines orientations de graphes. Nos méthodes donnent aussi un modèle combinatoire aux cumulants de la loi de Poisson libre.

Hiring Problem

International audience The $\textit{hiring problem}$ has been recently introduced by Broder et al. in last year's ACM-SIAM Symp. on Discrete Algorithms (SODA 2008), as a simple model for decision making under uncertainty. Candidates are interviewed in a sequential fashion, each one endowed with a quality score, and decisions to hire or discard them must be taken on the fly. The goal is to maintain a good rate of hiring while improving the "average'' quality of the hired staff. We provide here an alternative formulation of the hiring problem in combinatorial terms. This combinatorial model allows us the systematic use of techniques from combinatorial analysis, e. g., generating functions, to study the problem. Consider a permutation $\sigma :[1,\ldots, n] \to [1,\ldots, n]$. We process this permutation in a sequential fashion, so that at step $i$, we see the score or quality of candidate $i$, which is actually her face value $\sigma (i)$. Thus $\sigma (i)$ is the rank of candidate $i$; the best candidate among the $n$ gets rank $n$, while the worst one gets rank $1$. We define $\textit{rank-based}$ strategies, those that take their decisions using only the relative rank of the current candidate compared to the score of the previous candidates. For these strategies we can prove general theorems about the number of hired candidates in a permutation of length $n$, the time of the last hiring, and the average quality of the last hired candidate, using techniques from the area of analytic combinatorics. We apply these general results to specific strategies like hiring above the best, hiring above the median or hiring above the $m$th best; some of our results provide a complementary view to those of Broder et al., but on the other hand, our general results apply to a large family of hiring strategies, not just to specific cases.
