We show that the generating function (in n) for the number of walks on the square lattice with steps (1, 1), (1, −1), (2, 2) and (2, −2) from (0, 0) to (2n, 0) in the region 0...
The dartboard problem is to arrange n numbers on a circle to obtain maximum risk, which is the sum of the q-th power of the absolute differences of adjacent
We give a new expression for the number of factorizations of a full cycle into an ordered product of permutations of specified cycle types. This is done through purely algebraic me...
In a recent work, M. Covington discusses the enumeration of two different sets of alignments of two strings of symbols using elementary combinatorial techniques. He defines two fu...
