International audience We introduce a functorial construction which, from a monoid, produces a set-operad. We obtain new (symmetric or not) operads as suboperads or quotients of the operad obtained from the additive monoid. These involve various familiar combinatorial objects: parking functions, packed words, planar rooted trees, generalized Dyck paths, Schröder trees, Motzkin paths, integer compositions, directed animals, etc. We also retrieve some known operads: the magmatic operad, the commutative associative operad, and the diassociative operad.

Combinatorics International audience A non-commutative, planar, Hopf algebra of planar rooted trees was defined independently by one of the authors in Foissy (2002) and by R. Holtkamp in Holtkamp (2003). In this paper we propose such a non-commutative Hopf algebra for graphs. In order to define a non-commutative product we use a quantum field theoretical (QFT) idea, namely the one of introducing discrete scales on each edge of the graph (which, within the QFT framework, corresponds to energy scales of the associated propagators). Finally, we analyze the associated quadri-coalgebra and codendrifrom structures.

International audience Motivated by the theory of operads, we introduce new combinatorial objects, called shrubs, that generalize forests of rooted trees. We show that the species of shrubs is isomorphic to the species of series-parallel posets. Motivé par des considérations sur les opérades, on introduit de nouveaux objets combinatoires, appelés arbustes, qui généralisent les forêts d'arbres enracinés. On montre que l'espèce des arbustes est isomorphe à l'espèce des posets Série-Parallèle.

International audience We introduce a new approach to the enumeration of rational slope parking functions with respect to the <mathrm>area</mathrm> and a generalized <mathrm>dinv</mathrm> statistics, and relate the combinatorics of parking functions to that of affine permutations. We relate our construction to two previously known combinatorial constructions: Haglund's bijection ζ exchanging the pairs of statistics (<mathrm>area</mathrm>,<mathrm>dinv</mathrm>) and (<mathrm>bounce</mathrm>, <mathrm>area</mathrm>) on Dyck paths, and Pak-Stanley labeling of the regions of k-Shi hyperplane arrangements by k-parking functions. Essentially, our approach can be viewed as a generalization and a unification of these two constructions.

Motzkin Paths

International audience The minimal length of a plateau (a sequence of horizontal steps, preceded by an up- and followed by a down-step) in a Motzkin path is known to be of interest in the study of secondary structures which in turn appear in mathematical biology. We will treat this and the related parameters <i> maximal plateau length, horizontal segment </i>and <i>maximal horizontal segment </i>as well as some similar parameters in unary-binary trees by a pure generating functions approach―-Motzkin paths are derived from Dyck paths by a substitution process. Furthermore, we provide a pretty general analytic method to obtain means and limiting distributions for these parameters. It turns out that the maximal plateau and the maximal horizontal segment follow a Gumbel distribution.

Let $\Phi$ be an irreducible crystallographic root system with Weyl group $W$, coroot lattice $\check{Q}$ and Coxeter number $h$. Recently the second named author defined a uniform $W$-isomorphism $\zeta$ between the finite torus $\check{Q}/(mh+1)\check{Q}$ and the set of non-nesting parking functions $\operatorname{Park}^{(m)}(\Phi)$. If $\Phi$ is of type $A_{n-1}$ and $m=1$ this map is equivalent to a map defined on labelled Dyck paths that arises in the study of the Hilbert series of the space of diagonal harmonics. In this paper we investigate the case $m=1$ for the other infinite families of root systems ($B_n$, $C_n$ and $D_n$). In each type we define models for the finite torus and for the set of non-nesting parking functions in terms of labelled lattice paths. The map $\zeta$ can then be viewed as a map between these combinatorial objects. Our work entails new bijections between (square) lattice paths and ballot paths.

International audience We give a polyomino characterisation of recurrent configurations of the sandpile model on the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$ in which one designated vertex is the sink. We present a bijection from these recurrent configurations to decorated parallelogram polyominoes whose bounding box is a $m×n$ rectangle. Other combinatorial structures appear in special cases of this correspondence: for example bicomposition matrices (a matrix analogue of set partitions), and (2+2)-free posets. A canonical toppling process for recurrent configurations gives rise to a path within the associated parallelogram polyominoes. We define a collection of polynomials that we call $q,t$-Narayana polynomials, the generating functions of the bistatistic $(\mathsf{area ,parabounce} )$ on the set of parallelogram polyominoes, akin to Haglund's $(\mathsf{area ,hagbounce} )$ bistatistic on Dyck paths. In doing so, we have extended a bistatistic of Egge et al. to the set of parallelogram polyominoes. This is one answer to their question concerning extensions to other combinatorial objects. We conjecture the $q,t$-Narayana polynomials to be symmetric and discuss the proofs for numerous special cases. We also show a relationship between the $q,t$-Catalan polynomials and our bistatistic $(\mathsf{area ,parabounce}) $on a subset of parallelogram polyominoes. Pour le modèle du tas de sable sur un graphe $K_m,n$ biparti complet, on donne une description des configurations rècurrentes à l'aide d'une bijection avec des polyominos parallèlogrammes dècorès de rectangle englobant $m×n$. D'autres classes combinatoires apparaissent comme des cas particuliers de cette construction: par exemple les matrices de bicomposition et les ordres partiels évitant le motif (2+2). Un processus d'éboulement canonique des configurations récurrentes se traduit par un chemin bondissant dans le polyomino parallèlogramme associè. Nous définissons une famille de polynômes, baptisée de $q,t$-Narayana, à travers la distribution d'une paire de statistique $(\mathsf{aire, poidscheminbondissant})$ sur les polyominos parallélogrammes similaire à celle de Haglund définissant les polynômes de $q,t$-Catalan sur les chemins de Dyck. Ainsi nous étendons une paire de statistique de Egge et d'autres à l'ensemble des polynominos parallélogrammes. Cela répond à l'une de leur question sur des généralistations à d'autres objets combinatoires. Nous conjecturons que les polynômes de $q,t$-Narayana sont symétriques et discutons des preuves de plusieurs cas particuliers. Nous montrons ègalement une relation avec les polynômes de $q,t$-Catalan en restreignant notre paire de statistique à un sous-ensemble des polyominos parallélogrammes.

Special Case

International audience The action of the symmetric group $S_n$ on the set $\mathrm{Park}_n$ of parking functions of size $n$ has received a great deal of attention in algebraic combinatorics. We prove that the action of $S_n$ on $\mathrm{Park}_n$ extends to an action of $S_{n+1}$. More precisely, we construct a graded $S_{n+1}$-module $V_n$ such that the restriction of $V_n$ to $S_n$ is isomorphic to $\mathrm{Park}_n$. We describe the $S_n$-Frobenius characters of the module $V_n$ in all degrees and describe the $S_{n+1}$-Frobenius characters of $V_n$ in extreme degrees. We give a bivariate generalization $V_n^{(\ell, m)}$ of our module $V_n$ whose representation theory is governed by a bivariate generalization of Dyck paths. A Fuss generalization of our results is a special case of this bivariate generalization. L’action du groupe symétrique $S_n$ sur l’ensemble $\mathrm{Park}_n$ des fonctions de stationnement de longueur $n$ a reçu beaucoup d’attention dans la combinatoire algébrique. Nous démontrons que l’action de $S_n$ sur $\mathrm{Park}_n$ s’étend à une action de $S_{n+1}$. Plus précisément, nous construisons un gradué $S_{n+1}$-module $V_n$ telles que la restriction de $S_n$ est isomorphe à $\mathrm{Park}_n$. Nous décrivons la $S_n$-Frobenius caractères des modules $V_n$ à tous les degrés et décrivent le $S_{n+1}$-Frobenius caractères de $V_n$ en degrés extrêmes. Nous donnons une généralisation bivariée $V_n^{(\ell, m)}$ de notre module $V_n$ dont la représentation théorie est régie par une généralisation bivariée des chemins de Dyck. Une généralisation Fuss de nos résultats est un cas particulier de cette généralisation bivariée.

International audience We explore the classical pattern avoidance question in the case of irreducible permutations, <i>i.e.</i>, those in which there is no index $i$ such that $\sigma (i+1) - \sigma (i)=1$. The problem is addressed completely in the case of avoiding one or two patterns of length three, and several well known sequences are encountered in the process, such as Catalan, Motzkin, Fibonacci, Tribonacci, Padovan and Binary numbers. Also, we present constructive bijections between the set of Motzkin paths of length $n-1$ and the sets of irreducible permutations of length $n$ (respectively fixed point free irreducible involutions of length $2n$) avoiding a pattern $\alpha$ for $\alpha \in \{132,213,321\}$. This induces two new bijections between the set of Dyck paths and some restricted sets of permutations.

International audience We consider the number of nodes in the levels of unlabeled rooted random trees and show that the joint distribution of several level sizes (where the level number is scaled by $\sqrt{n}$) weakly converges to the distribution of the local time of a Brownian excursion evaluated at the times corresponding to the level numbers. This extends existing results for simply generated trees and forests to the case of unlabeled rooted trees.
