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 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.

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.

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.

Group Law

International audience If $f(x)$ is an invertible power series we may form the symmetric function $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ which is called a formal group law. We give a number of examples of power series $f(x)$ that are ordinary generating functions for combinatorial objects with a recursive structure, each of which is associated with a certain hypergraph. In each case, we show that the corresponding formal group law is the sum of the chromatic symmetric functions of these hypergraphs by finding a combinatorial interpretation for $f^{-1}(x)$. We conjecture that the chromatic symmetric functions arising in this way are Schur-positive. Si $f(x)$ est une série entière inversible, nous pouvons former la fonction symétrique $f(f^{-1}(x_1)+f^{-1}(x_2)+...)$ que nous appelons une loi de groupe formel. Nous donnons plusieurs exemples de séries entières $f(x)$ qui sont séries génératrices ordinaires pour des objets combinatoires avec une structure récursive, chacune desquelles est associée à un certain hypergraphe. Dans chaque cas, nous donnons une interprétation combinatoire à $f^{-1}(x)$, ce qui nous permet de montrer que la loi de groupe formel correspondante est la somme des fonctions symétriques chromatiques de ces hypergraphes. Nous conjecturons que les fonctions symétriques chromatiques apparaissant de cette manière sont Schur-positives.

International audience We develop the bialgebraic structure based on the set of functional graphs, which generalize the case of the forests of rooted trees. We use noncommutative polynomials as generating monomials of the functional graphs, and we introduce circular and arborescent brackets in accordance with the decomposition in connected components of the graph of a mapping of \1, 2, \ldots, n\ in itself as in the frame of the discrete dynamical systems. We give applications fordifferential algebras and algebras of differential operators.

Combinatorics International audience Let (w_n)0 < n be the sequence known as Integer Sequence A047749 In this paper, we show that the integer w_n enumerates various kinds of symmetric structures of order two. We first consider ternary trees having a reflexive symmetry and we relate all symmetric combinatorial objects by means of bijection. We then generalize the symmetric structures and correspondences to an infinite family of symmetric objects.

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.

Labelled Graphs

International audience The equidistribution of many crossing and nesting statistics exists in several combinatorial objects like matchings, set partitions, permutations, and embedded labelled graphs. The involutions switching nesting and crossing numbers for set partitions given by Krattenthaler, also by Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley, and Yan, and for permutations given by Burrill, Mishna, and Post involved passing through tableau-like objects. Recently, Chen and Guo for matchings, and Marberg for set partitions extended the result to coloured arc annotated diagrams. We prove that symmetric joint distribution continues to hold for arc-coloured permutations. As in Marberg's recent work, but through a different interpretation, we also conclude that the ordinary generating functions for all j-noncrossing, k-nonnesting, r-coloured permutations according to size n are rational functions. We use the interpretation to automate the generation of these rational series for both noncrossing and nonnesting coloured set partitions and permutations. <begin>otherlanguage*</begin>french L'équidistribution de plusieurs statistiques décrites en termes d'emboitements et de chevauchements d'arcs s'observes dans plusieurs familles d'objects combinatoires, tels que les couplages, partitions d'ensembles, permutations et graphes étiquetés. L'involution échangeant le nombre d'emboitements et de chevauchements dans les partitions d'ensemble due à Krattenthaler, et aussi Chen, Deng, Du, Stanley et Yan, et l'involution similaire dans les permutations due à Burrill, Mishna et Post, requièrent d'utiliser des objets de type tableaux. Récemment, Chen et Guo pour les couplages, et Marberg pour les partitions d'ensembles, ont étendu ces résultats au cas de diagrammes arc-annotés coloriés. Nous démontrons que la propriété d'équidistribution s'observe est aussi vraie dans le cas de permutations aux arcs coloriés. Tout comme dans le travail résent de Marberg, mais via un autre chemin, nous montrons que les séries génératrices ordinaires des permutations r-coloriées ayant au plus j chevauchements et k emboitements, comptées selon la taille n, sont des fonctions rationnelles. Nous décrivons aussi des algorithmes permettant de calculer ces fonctions rationnelles pour les partitions d'ensembles et les permutations coloriées sans emboitement ou sans chevauchement. <end>otherlanguage*</end>

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.

Orthogonal Grassmannians

International audience In this paper we explore the combinatorics of the non-negative part $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$ of a cominuscule Grassmannian. For each such Grassmannian we define Le-diagrams ― certain fillings of generalized Young diagrams which are in bijection with the cells of $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$. In the classical cases, we describe Le-diagrams explicitly in terms of pattern avoidance. We also define a game on diagrams, by which one can reduce an arbitrary diagram to a Le-diagram. We give enumerative results and relate our Le-diagrams to other combinatorial objects. Surprisingly, the totally non-negative cells in the open Schubert cell of the odd and even orthogonal Grassmannians are (essentially) in bijection with preference functions and atomic preference functions respectively. Dans cet article nous schtroumpfons la combinatoire de la partie non-négative $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$ d'une Grassmannienne cominuscule. Pour chaque Grassmannienne de ce type nous définissons les Le-diagrammes ― certains remplissages de diagrammes de Young généralisés en bijection avec les cellules de $(G/P)_{\geq 0}$. Dans les cas classiques, nous décrivons les Le-diagrammes explicitement en termes d'évitement de certains motifs. Aussi nous définissons un jeu sur les diagrammes, avec lequel on peut réduire un diagramme arbitraire à un Le-diagramme. Nous donnons les résultats énumératifs et nous relions nos Le-diagrammes à d'autres objets combinatoires. Étonnamment, les cellules non-négatives dans la cellule de Schubert ouverte des Grassmanniennes orthogonales impaires et paires sont essentiellement en bijection avec les fonctions de préférence et les fonctions de préférence atomiques.
