Distribution of sets of descent tops and descent bottoms on restricted permutations [PDF]
In this note, we prove some and conjecture other results regarding the distribution of descent top and descent bottom sets on some pattern-avoiding permutations.

Pattern Avoidance for Random Permutations [PDF]
Using techniques from Poisson approximation, we prove explicit error bounds on the number of permutations that avoid any pattern. Most generally, we bound the total variation distance between the joint distribution of pattern occurrences and a ...

Background– Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) may cause suppurative otitis externa with severe inflammation and ulceration in dogs. Multidrug resistance is commonly reported for this organism, creating a difficult therapeutic challenge. Objective– The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of a gel containing 0.5 µg/mL of ...

Counting occurrences of 132 in an even permutation
We study the generating function for the number of even (or odd) permutations on n letters containing exactly r ≥ 0 occurrences of a 132 pattern. It is shown that finding this function for a given r amounts to a routine check of all permutations in 𝔖2r.

Continued fractions for permutation statistics [PDF]
We explore a bijection between permutations and colored Motzkin paths that has been used in different forms by Foata and Zeilberger, Biane, and Corteel.

Pattern Avoidance in Weak Ascent Sequences [PDF]
In this paper, we study pattern avoidance in weak ascent sequences, giving some results for patterns of length 3. This is an analogous study to one given by Duncan and Steingr\'imsson (2011) for ascent sequences. More precisely, we provide systematically

Two permutations in a class are Wilf-equivalent if, for every size, $n$, the number of permutations in the class of size $n$ containing each of them is the same.

On the number of pancake stacks requiring four flips to be sorted [PDF]
Using existing classification results for the 7- and 8-cycles in the pancake graph, we determine the number of permutations that require 4 pancake flips (prefix reversals) to be sorted.

The expected number of inversions after n adjacent transpositions [PDF]
We give a new expression for the expected number of inversions in the product of n random adjacent transpositions in the symmetric group S_{m+1}. We then derive from this expression the asymptotic behaviour of this number when n scales with m in various ...

Two-sided permutation statistics via symmetric functions
Given a permutation statistic $\operatorname {\mathrm {st}}$ , define its inverse statistic $\operatorname {\mathrm {ist}}$ by . We give a general approach, based on the theory of symmetric functions, for finding the joint distribution of
