International audience We improve the lower bounds on Klarner's constant, which describes the exponential growth rate of the number of polyominoes (connected subsets of grid squares) with a given number of squares. We achieve this by analyzing polyominoes on a different surface, a so-called $\textit{twisted cylinder}$ by the transfer matrix method. A bijective representation of the "states'' of partial solutions is crucial for allowing a compact representation of the successive iteration vectors for the transfer matrix method.

International audience This paper introduces two matrix analogues for set partitions; partition and composition matrices. These two analogues are the natural result of lifting the mapping between ascent sequences and integer matrices given in Dukes & Parviainen (2010). We prove that partition matrices are in one-to-one correspondence with inversion tables. Non-decreasing inversion tables are shown to correspond to partition matrices with a row ordering relation. Partition matrices which are s-diagonal are classified in terms of inversion tables. Bidiagonal partition matrices are enumerated using the transfer-matrix method and are equinumerous with permutations which are sortable by two pop-stacks in parallel. We show that composition matrices on the set $X$ are in one-to-one correspondence with (2+2)-free posets on $X$.We show that pairs of ascent sequences and permutations are in one-to-one correspondence with (2+2)-free posets whose elements are the cycles of a permutation, and use this relation to give an expression for the number of (2+2)-free posets on $\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Ce papier introduit deux analogues matriciels des partitions d'ensembles: les matrices de composition et de partition. Ces deux analogues sont le produit naturel du relèvement de l'application entre suites de montées et matrices d'entiers introduite dans Dukes & Parviainen (2010). Nous démontrons que les matrices de partition sont en bijection avec les tables d'inversion, les tables d'inversion croissantes correspondant aux matrices de partition avec une relation d'ordre sur les lignes. Les matrices de partition s-diagonales sont classées en fonction de leurs tables d'inversion. Les matrices de partition bidiagonales sont énumérées par la méthode de matrices de transfert et ont même cardinalité que les permutations triables par deux piles en parallèle. Nous montrons que les matrices de composition sur l'ensemble $X$ sont en bijection avec les ensembles ordonnés (2+2)-libres sur $X$. Nous prouvons que les paires de suites de montées et de permutations sont en bijection avec les ensembles ordonnés (2+2)-libres dont les éléments sont les cycles d'une permutation, et nous utilisons cette relation pour exprimer le nombre d'ensembles ordonnés (2+2)-libres sur $\{1,\ldots,n\}$.

International Audience

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 Using a transfer matrix method, we present some results for directed lattice walkers in a horizontal strip of finite width. Some cases with two walkers in a small width are solved exactly, as are a couple of cases with vicious walkers in a small width; a conjecture is made for a case with three walkers. We also derive the general transfer matrix for two walkers. Lastly, we examine the dependence of the growth constant on the width and friendliness.
