Pattern Avoiding Permutations

International audience We present statistic-preserving bijections between four classes of combinatorial objects. Two of them, the class of unlabeled $(\textrm{2+2})$-free posets and a certain class of chord diagrams (or involutions), already appeared in the literature, but were apparently not known to be equinumerous. The third one is a new class of pattern avoiding permutations, and the fourth one consists of certain integer sequences called $\textit{ascent sequences}$. We also determine the generating function of these classes of objects, thus recovering a non-D-finite series obtained by Zagier for chord diagrams. Finally, we characterize the ascent sequences that correspond to permutations avoiding the barred pattern $3\bar{1}52\bar{4}$, and enumerate those permutations, thus settling a conjecture of Pudwell. Nous présentons des bijections, transportant de nombreuses statistiques, entre quatre classes d'objets. Deux d'entre elles, la classe des EPO (ensembles partiellement ordonnés) sans motif $(\textrm{2+2})$ et une certaine classe d'involutions, sont déjà apparues dans la littérature. La troisième est une classe de permutations à motifs exclus, et la quatrième une classe de suites que nous appelons $\textit{suites à montées}$. Nous déterminons ensuite la série génératrice de ces classes, retrouvant ainsi un résultat prouvé par Zagier pour les involutions sus-mentionnées. La série obtenue n'est pas D-finie. Apparemment, le fait qu'elle compte aussi les EPO sans motif $(\textrm{2+2})$ est nouveau. Finalement, nous caractérisons les suites à montées qui correspondent aux permutations évitant le motif barré $3\bar{1}52\bar{4}$ et énumérons ces permutations, ce qui démontre une conjecture de Pudwell.

Special Case

International audience A poset is said to be (2+2)-free if it does not contain an induced subposet that is isomorphic to 2+2, the union of two disjoint 2-element chains. In a recent paper, Bousquet-Mélou et al. found, using so called ascent sequences, the generating function for the number of (2+2)-free posets: $P(t)=∑_n≥ 0 ∏_i=1^n ( 1-(1-t)^i)$. We extend this result by finding the generating function for (2+2)-free posets when four statistics are taken into account, one of which is the number of minimal elements in a poset. We also show that in a special case when only minimal elements are of interest, our rather involved generating function can be rewritten in the form $P(t,z)=∑_n,k ≥0 p_n,k t^n z^k = 1+ ∑_n ≥0\frac{zt}{(1-zt)^n+1}∏_i=1^n (1-(1-t)^i)$ where $p_n,k$ equals the number of (2+2)-free posets of size $n$ with $k$ minimal elements. Un poset sera dit (2+2)-libre s'il ne contient aucun sous-poset isomorphe à 2+2, l'union disjointe de deux chaînes à deux éléments. Dans un article récent, Bousquet-Mélou et al. ont trouvé, à l'aide de "suites de montées'', la fonction génératrice des nombres de posets (2+2)-libres: c'est $P(t)=∑_n≥ 0 ∏_i=1^n ( 1-(1-t)^i)$. Nous étendons ce résultat en trouvant la fonction génératrice des posets (\textrm2+2)-libres rendant compte de quatre statistiques, dont le nombre d'éléments minimaux du poset. Nous montrons aussi que lorsqu'on ne s'intéresse qu'au nombre d'éléments minimaux, notre fonction génératrice assez compliquée peut être simplifiée en$P(t,z)=∑_n,k ≥0 p_n,k t^n z^k = 1+ ∑_n ≥0\frac{zt}{(1-zt)^n+1}∏_i=1^n (1-(1-t)^i)$, où $p_n,k$ est le nombre de posets (2+2)-libres de taille $n$ avec $k$ éléments minimaux.

Tropical Polytopes

International audience Develin and Sturmfels showed that regular triangulations of $\Delta_{n-1} \times \Delta_{d-1}$ can be thought of as tropical polytopes. Tropical oriented matroids were defined by Ardila and Develin, and were conjectured to be in bijection with all subdivisions of $\Delta_{n-1} \times \Delta_{d-1}$. In this paper, we show that any triangulation of $\Delta_{n-1} \times \Delta_{d-1}$ encodes a tropical oriented matroid. We also suggest a new class of combinatorial objects that may describe all subdivisions of a bigger class of polytopes. Develin et Sturmfels ont montré que les triangulations de $\Delta_{n-1} \times \Delta_{d-1}$ peuvent être considérées comme des polytopes tropicaux. Les matroïdes orientés tropicaux ont été définis par Ardila et Develin, et ils ont été conjecturés être en bijection avec les subdivisions de $\Delta_{n-1} \times \Delta_{d-1}$. Dans cet article, nous montrons que toute triangulation de $\Delta_{n-1} \times \Delta_{d-1}$ encode un matroïde orienté tropical. De plus, nous proposons une nouvelle classe d'objets combinatoires qui peuvent décrire toutes les subdivisions d'une plus grande classe de polytopes.

Pattern Avoiding Permutations

Ascent sequences were introduced by Bousquet-Melou et al. in connection with (2+2)-avoiding posets and their pattern avoidance properties were first considered by Duncan and Steingrímsson. In this paper, we consider ascent sequences of length $n$ avoiding two patterns of length 3, and we determine an exact enumeration for 16 different pairs of patterns. Methods include simple recurrences, bijections to other combinatorial objects (including Dyck paths and pattern-avoiding permutations), and generating trees. We also provide an analogue of the Erdős-Szekeres Theorem to prove that any sufficiently long ascent sequence contains either many copies of the same number or a long increasing subsequence, with a precise bound.

Self Avoiding Walks

International audience We define and enumerate a new class of self-avoiding walks on the square lattice, which we call <i>weakly prudent bridges</i>. Their definition is inspired by two previously-considered classes of self-avoiding walks, and can be viewed as a combination of those two models. We consider several methods for recursively generating these objects, each with its own advantages and disadvantages, and use these methods to solve the generating function, obtain very long series, and randomly generate walks of arbitrary size. We find that the growth constant of these walks is approximately 2.58, which is larger than that of any previously-solved class of self-avoiding walks.

Ascent Sequences

International audience We show that there are $n!$ matchings on $2n$ points without, so called, left (neighbor) nestings. We also define a set of naturally labelled $(2+2)$-free posets, and show that there are $n!$ such posets on $n$ elements. Our work was inspired by Bousquet-Mélou, Claesson, Dukes and Kitaev [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A. 117 (2010) 884―909]. They gave bijections between four classes of combinatorial objects: matchings with no neighbor nestings (due to Stoimenow), unlabelled $(2+2)$-free posets, permutations avoiding a specific pattern, and so called ascent sequences. We believe that certain statistics on our matchings and posets could generalize the work of Bousquet-Mélou et al. and we make a conjecture to that effect. We also identify natural subsets of matchings and posets that are equinumerous to the class of unlabeled $(2+2)$-free posets. We give bijections that show the equivalence of (neighbor) restrictions on nesting arcs with (neighbor) restrictions on crossing arcs. These bijections are thought to be of independent interest. One of the bijections maps via certain upper-triangular integer matrices that have recently been studied by Dukes and Parviainen [Electron. J. Combin. 17 (2010) #R53]. Nous montrons qu'il y a $n!$ couplages sur $2n$ points sans emboîtement (de voisins) à gauche. Nous définissons aussi un ensemble d'EPO (ensembles partiellement ordonnés) sans motif $(2+2)$ naturellement étiquetés, et montrons qu'il y a $n!$ tels EPO sur $n$ éléments. Notre travail a été inspiré par Bousquet-Mélou, Claesson, Dukes et Kitaev [J. Combin. Theory Ser. A. 117 (2010) 884―909]. Ces auteurs donnent des bijections entre quatre classes d'objets combinatoires: couplages sans emboîtement de voisins (dû à Stoimenow), EPO sans motif $(2+2)$ non étiquetés, permutations évitant un certain motif, et des objets appelés suites à montées. Nous pensons que certaines statistiques sur nos couplages et nos EPO pourraient généraliser le travail de Bousquet-Mélou et al. et nous proposons une conjecture à ce sujet. Nous identifions aussi des sous-ensembles naturels de couplages et d'EPO qui sont énumérés par la même séquence que la classe des EPO sans motif $(2+2)$ non étiquetés. Nous donnons des bijections qui démontrent l'équivalence entre les restrictions sur les emboîtements (d'arcs voisins) et les restrictions sur les croisements (d'arcs voisins). Nous pensons que ces bijections présentent un intérêt propre. L'une de ces bijections passe par certaines matrices triangulaires supérieures à coefficients entiers qui ont été récemment étudiées par Dukes et Parviainen [Electron. J. Combin. 17 (2010) #R53].

International audience Alternating sign matrices (ASMs) are square matrices with entries 0, 1, or -1 whose rows and columns sum to 1 and whose nonzero entries alternate in sign. We put ASMs into a larger context by studying the order ideals of subposets of a certain poset, proving that they are in bijection with a variety of interesting combinatorial objects, including ASMs, totally symmetric self―complementary plane partitions (TSSCPPs), Catalan objects, tournaments, semistandard Young tableaux, and totally symmetric plane partitions. We use this perspective to prove an expansion of the tournament generating function as a sum over TSSCPPs which is analogous to a known formula involving ASMs. Les matrices à signe alternant (ASMs) sont des matrices carrées dont les coefficients sont 0,1 ou -1, telles que dans chaque ligne et chaque colonne la somme des entrées vaut 1 et les entrées non nulles ont des signes qui alternent. Nous incluons les ASMs dans un cadre plus vaste, en étudiant les idéaux des sous-posets d'un certain poset, dont nous prouvons qu'ils sont en bijection avec de nombreux objets combinatoires intéressants, tels que les ASMs, les partitions planes totalement symétriques autocomplémentaires (TSSCPPs), des objets comptés par les nombres de Catalan, les tournois, les tableaux semistandards, ou les partitions planes totalement symétriques. Nous utilisons ce point de vue pour démontrer un développement de la série génératrice des tournois en une somme portant sur les TSSCPPs, analogue à une formule déjà connue faisant appara\^ıtre les ASMs.

International audience A decomposable combinatorial structure consists of simpler objects called components which by thems elves cannot be further decomposed. We focus on the multi-set construction where the component generating function C(z) is of alg-log type, that is, C(z) behaves like c + d(1 -z/rho)(alpha) (ln1/1-z/rho)(beta) (1 + o(1)) when z is near the dominant singularity rho. We provide asymptotic results about the size of thes mallest components in random combinatorial structures for the cases 0 < alpha < 1 and any beta, and alpha < 0 and beta=0. The particular case alpha=0 and beta=1, the so-called exp-log class, has been treated in previous papers. We also provide similar asymptotic estimates for combinatorial objects with a restricted pattern, that is, when part of its factorization patterns is known. We extend our results to include certain type of integers partitions. partitions

International audience ECO is a method for the enumeration of classes of combinatorial objects based on recursive constructions of such classes. In the first part of this paper we present a construction for the class of convex polyominoes based on the ECO method. Then we translate this construction into a succession rule. The final goal of the paper is to determine the generating function of convex polyominoes according to the semi-perimeter, and it is achieved by applying an idea introduced in [11].

Building on the picture of post-war Anglo-Danish documentary collaboration established in the previous chapter, this chapter examines three cases of international collaboration in which Dansk Kulturfilm and Ministeriernes Filmudvalg were involved in the late 1940s and 1950s. They Guide You Across (Ingolf Boisen, 1949) was commissioned to showcase Scandinavian cooperation in the realm of aviation (SAS) and was adopted by the newly-established United Nations Film Board. The complexities of this film’s production, funding and distribution are illustrative of the activities of the UN Film Board in its first years of operation. The second case study considers Alle mine Skibe (All My Ships, Theodor Christensen, 1951) as an example of a film commissioned and funded under the auspices of the Marshall Plan. This US initiative sponsored informational films across Europe, emphasising national solutions to post-war reconstruction. The third case study, Bent Barfod’s animated film Noget om Norden (Somethin’ about Scandinavia, 1956) explains Nordic cooperation for an international audience, but ironically exposed some gaps in inter-Nordic collaboration in the realm of film.

The purpose of this paper is to construct a unified generating function involving the families of the higher-order hypergeometric Bernoulli polynomials and Lagrange–Hermite polynomials. Using the generating function and their functional equations, we investigate some properties of these polynomials. Moreover, we derive several connected formulas and relations including the Miller–Lee polynomials, the Laguerre polynomials, and the Lagrange Hermite–Miller–Lee polynomials.
