International audience We use the cluster method in order to enumerate permutations avoiding consecutive patterns. We reprove and generalize in a unified way several known results and obtain new ones, including some patterns of length 4 and 5, as well as some infinite families of patterns of a given shape. Our main tool is the cluster method of Goulden and Jackson. We also prove some that, for a large class of patterns, the inverse of the exponential generating function counting occurrences is an entire function, but we conjecture that it is not D-finite in general. On utilise la mèthode des clusters pour ènumèrer permutations qui èvitent motifs consècutifs. On redèmontre et on gènèralise d'une manière unifièe plusieurs rèsultats et on obtient de nouveaux rèsultats pour certains motifs de longueur 4 et 5, ainsi que pour certaines familles infinies de motifs. L'outil principal c'est la mèthode des clusters de Goulden et Jackson. On dèmontre aussi que, pour une grande classe de motifs, l'inverse de la sèrie gènèratrice exponentielle qui compte occurrences est une fonction entière, mais on conjecture qu'elle n'est pas D-finie en gènèral.

International audience We give a generating function for the fully commutative affine permutations enumerated by rank and Coxeter length, extending formulas due to Stembridge and Barcucci–Del Lungo–Pergola–Pinzani. For fixed rank, the length generating functions have coefficients that are periodic with period dividing the rank. In the course of proving these formulas, we obtain results that elucidate the structure of the fully commutative affine permutations. This is a summary of the results; the full version appears elsewhere. Nous présentons une fonction génératrice qui énumère les permutations affines totalement commutatives par leur rang et par leur longueur de Coxeter, généralisant les formules dues à Stembridge et à Barcucci–Del Lungo–Pergola–Pinzani. Pour un rang précis, les fonctions génératrices ont des coefficients qui sont périodiques de période divisant leur rang. Nous obtenons des résultats qui expliquent la structure des permutations affines totalement commutatives. L'article dessous est un aperçu des résultats; la version complète appara\^ıt ailleurs.

International audience We develop a method for counting words subject to various restrictions by finding a combinatorial interpretation for a product of formal sums of Laguerre polynomials. We use this method to find the generating function for $k$-ary words avoiding any vincular pattern that has only ones. We also give generating functions for $k$-ary words cyclically avoiding vincular patterns with only ones whose runs of ones between dashes are all of equal length, as well as the analogous results for compositions. Nous développons une méthode pour compter des mots satisfaisants certaines restrictions en établissant une interprétation combinatoire utile d’un produit de sommes formelles de polynômes de Laguerre. Nous utilisons cette méthode pour trouver la série génératrice pour les mots $k$-aires évitant les motifs vinculars consistant uniquement de uns. Nous présentons en suite les séries génératrices pour les mots $k$-aires évitant de façon cyclique les motifs vinculars consistant uniquement de uns et dont chaque série de uns entre deux tirets est de la même longueur. Nous présentons aussi les résultats analogues pour les compositions.

International audience In this paper, we introduce therhombic alternative tableaux, whose weight generating functions providecombinatorial formulae to compute the steady state probabilities of the two-species ASEP. In the ASEP, there aretwo species of particles, oneheavyand onelight, on a one-dimensional finite lattice with open boundaries, and theparametersα,β, andqdescribe the hopping probabilities. The rhombic alternative tableaux are enumerated by theLah numbers, which also enumerate certainassembl ́ees of permutations. We describe a bijection between the rhombicalternative tableaux and these assembl ́ees. We also provide an insertion algorithm that gives a weight generatingfunction for the assemb ́ees. Combined, these results give a bijective proof for the weight generating function for therhombic alternative tableaux.

More properties for the translated Whitney numbers of the second kind such as horizontal generating function, explicit formula, and exponential generating function are proposed. Using the translated Whitney numbers of the second kind, we will define the translated Dowling polynomials and numbers. Basic properties such as exponential generating functions and explicit formula for the translated Dowling polynomials and numbers are obtained. Convexity, integral representation, and other interesting identities are also investigated and presented. We show that the properties obtained are generalizations of some of the known results involving the classical Bell polynomials and numbers. Lastly, we established the Hankel transform of the translated Dowling numbers.

International audience An ordered partition of $[n]:=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is a sequence of disjoint and nonempty subsets, called blocks, whose union is $[n]$. The aim of this paper is to compute some generating functions of ordered partitions by the transfer-matrix method. In particular, we prove several conjectures of Steingrímsson, which assert that the generating function of some statistics of ordered partitions give rise to a natural $q$-analogue of $k!S(n,k)$, where $S(n,k)$ is the Stirling number of the second kind.

International audience We study some lattice paths related to the concept ofgenerating trees. When the matrix associated to this kind of trees is a Riordan array $D=(d(t),h(t))$, we are able to find the generating function for the total area below these paths expressed in terms of the functions $d(t)$ and $h(t)$.

International audience A new triple product formulae for plane partitions with bounded size of parts is derived from a combinato- rial interpretation of biorthogonal polynomials in terms of lattice paths. Biorthogonal polynomials which generalize the little q-Laguerre polynomials are introduced to derive a new triple product formula which recovers the classical generating function in a triple product by MacMahon and generalizes the trace-type generating functions in double products by Stanley and Gansner.

We prove various formulas which express exponential generating functions counting permutations by the peak number, valley number, double ascent number, and double descent number statistics in terms of the exponential generating function for Chebyshev polynomials, as well as cyclic analogues of these formulas for derangements. We give several applications of these results, including formulas for the (-1)-evaluation of some of these distributions. Our proofs are combinatorial and involve the use of monomino-domino tilings, the modified Foata-Strehl action (a.k.a. valley-hopping), and a cyclic analogue of this action due to Sun and Wang.

International audience Let $\sum_{\mathbf{n} \in \mathbb{N}^d} F_{\mathbf{n}} \mathbf{x}^{\mathbf{n}}$ be a multivariate generating function that converges in a neighborhood of the origin of $\mathbb{C}^d$. We present a new, multivariate method for computing the asymptotics of the diagonal coefficients $F_{a_1n,\ldots,a_dn}$ and show its superiority over the standard, univariate diagonal method. Several examples are given in detail.

Using an approach suggested by Dotsenko and Khoroshkin we present a sufficient condition guaranteeing that two collections of patterns of permutations have the same exponential generating functions for the number of permutations avoiding elements of these collections as consecutive patterns. In short, the coincidence of the latter generating functions is guaranteed by a length-preserving bijection of patterns in these collections which is identical on the overlappings of pairs of patterns where the overlappings are considered as unordered sets. Our proof is based on a direct algorithm for the computation of the inverse generating functions. As an application we present a large class of patterns where this algorithm is fast and, in particular, allows us to obtain a linear ordinary differential equation with polynomial coefficients satisfied by the inverse generating function.
