For two strings a, b, the longest common subsequence (LCS) problem consists in comparing a and b by computing the length of their LCS. In a previous paper, we defined a generalisat...
We study the shape of the Young diagram λ associated via the Robinson– Schensted–Knuth algorithm to a random permutation in Sn such that the length of the longest decreasing ...
This paper finds and analyzes a formula for the total variation distance between iterations of riffle shuffles and iterations of "cut and then riffle shuffle". This allo...
