Short, bijective proofs of identities for multisets of `hook pairs' (arm-leg pairs) of the cells of certain diagrams are given. These hook pair identities were originally foun...
We present an algorithm for finding a system of recurrence relations for the number of permutations of length n that satisfy a certain set of conditions. A rewriting of these rela...
Consider the symmetric group Sn equipped with the Hamming metric dH . Packing and covering problems in the finite metric space (Sn, dH ) are surveyed, including a combination of b...
We prove that the set of permutations generated by a stack of depth two and an infinite stack in series has a basis (defining set of forbidden patterns) consisting of 20 permutati...
We determine the limiting distributions of the longest alternating subsequence for pattern-restricted permutations in which the pattern is any one of the six patterns of length th...
