On the number of vertices of each rank in phylogenetic trees and their generalizations [PDF]
We find surprisingly simple formulas for the limiting probability that the rank of a randomly selected vertex in a randomly selected phylogenetic tree or generalized phylogenetic tree is a given integer.

A polynomial-time approximation algorithm for the number of k-matchings in bipartite graphs [PDF]
We show that the number of $k$-matching in a given undirected graph $G$ is equal to the number of perfect matching of the corresponding graph $G_k$ on an even number of vertices divided by a suitable factor.

On a generalization of derangement polynomials and numbers
In T. Kim, D. S. Kim, and D. V. Dolgy, Probabilistic derangement numbers and polynomials, Math. Comput. Model. Dyn. Syst. 31 (2025), no. 1, 2529188, Kim-Kim defined the probabilistic derangement polynomials and numbers and found some properties of those ...

The permutation class Av(4213,2143) [PDF]
We determine the structure of permutations avoiding the patterns 4213 and 2143. Each such permutation consists of the skew sum of a sequence of plane trees, together with an increasing sequence of points above and an increasing sequence of points to its ...

Proofs of Conjectures about Pattern-Avoiding Linear Extensions [PDF]
After fixing a canonical ordering (or labeling) of the elements of a finite poset, one can associate each linear extension of the poset with a permutation.

Enumeration of super-strong Wilf equivalence classes of permutations in the generalized factor order [PDF]
Super-strong Wilf equivalence classes of the symmetric group ${\mathcal S}_n$ on $n$ letters, with respect to the generalized factor order, were shown by Hadjiloucas, Michos and Savvidou (2018) to be in bijection with pyramidal sequences of consecutive ...

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.

Classical pattern distributions in $\mathcal{S}_{n}(132)$ and $\mathcal{S}_{n}(123)$ [PDF]
Classical pattern avoidance and occurrence are well studied in the symmetric group $\mathcal{S}_{n}$. In this paper, we provide explicit recurrence relations to the generating functions counting the number of classical pattern occurrence in the set of ...

Parabolic Catalan numbers count flagged Schur functions and their appearances as type A Demazure characters (key polynomials) [PDF]
Fix an integer partition lambda that has no more than n parts. Let beta be a weakly increasing n-tuple with entries from {1,..,n}. The flagged Schur function indexed by lambda and beta is a polynomial generating function in x_1, .., x_n for certain ...
