We propose a major index statistic on 01-fillings of moon polyominoes which, when specialized to certain shapes, reduces to the major index for permutations and set partitions. W...

We consider the problem of sorting a permutation using a network of data structures as introduced by Knuth and Tarjan. In general the model as considered previously was restricted...
Inspired by MacMahon's original proof of his celebrated theorem on the distribution of the major index over permutations, we give a reformulation of his argument in terms of l...
The problem of routing permutations on graphs via matchings is considered, and we present a general algorithm which can be parameterized by different heuristics. This leads to a ...
We find, in the form of a continued fraction, the generating function for the number of (132)-avoiding permutations that have a given number of (123) patterns, and show how to ext...

Abstract. Consider, for a permutation Sk, the number F(n, ) of permutations in Sn which avoid as a subpattern. The conjecture of Stanley and Wilf is that for every there is a c...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
In (2n)1)-stage rearrangeable networks, the routing time for any arbitrary permutation is X(n2 ) compared to its propagation delay O(n) only. Here, we attempt to identify the sets...
