Operators of equivalent sorting power and related Wilf-equivalences [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2013
We study sorting operators $\textrm{A}$ on permutations that are obtained composing Knuth's stack sorting operator \textrmS and the reverse operator $\textrm{R}$, as many times as desired.

A Bijection for Tricellular Maps

open access: yesISRN Discrete Mathematics, 2013
We give a bijective proof for a relation between unicellular, bicellular, and tricellular maps. These maps represent cell complexes of orientable surfaces having one, two, or three boundary components. The relation can formally be obtained using matrix theory (Dyson, 1949) employing the Schwinger-Dyson equation (Schwinger, 1951).

Aggregation and the Structure of Value

open access: yesNoûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Roughly, the view I call “Additivism” sums up value across time and people. Given some standard assumptions, I show that Additivism follows from two principles. The first says that how lives align in time cannot, in itself, matter. The second says, roughly, that a world cannot be better unless it is better within some period or another.

A bijection between irreducible k-shapes and surjective pistols of height $k-1$ [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
This paper constructs a bijection between irreducible $k$-shapes and surjective pistols of height $k-1$, which carries the "free $k$-sites" to the fixed points of surjective pistols.

A New Hilbert's Hotel Argument Against Past‐Eternalism

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper offers a new formulation of the “Hilbert's Hotel Argument” (HHA) which is superior to existing formulations because it (1) demonstrates that HH is logically impossible in the concrete world, (2) takes into account the need to consider the assumptions of HHA, and (3) offers a reply to an important objection concerning the validity of

On computing local monodromy and the numerical local irreducible decomposition

open access: yesTransactions of the London Mathematical Society, Volume 13, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Similarly to the global case, the local structure of a holomorphic subvariety at a given point is described by its local irreducible decomposition. Geometrically, the key requirement for obtaining a local irreducible decomposition is to compute the local monodromy action of a generic linear projection at the given point, which is always well ...

Generating Bijections between HOAS and the Natural Numbers [PDF]

open access: yesElectronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2010
A provably correct bijection between higher-order abstract syntax (HOAS) and the natural numbers enables one to define a ``not equals'' relationship between terms and also to have an adequate encoding of sets of terms, and maps from one term family to ...

Modeling and generating user‐centered contrastive explanations for the workforce scheduling and routing problem

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 3, Page 1525-1558, May 2026.
Abstract In the last decade, explainability has been attracting much attention in the machine learning community. However, this research topic extends beyond this field to encompass others such as operations research and combinatorial optimization (CO).

An allocation rule for connection scheduling problems

open access: yesInternational Transactions in Operational Research, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 892-925, March 2026.
Abstract This paper studies so‐called connection scheduling problems, a type of interactive operations research problem. A connection scheduling problem combines aspects from the minimum cost spanning tree and sequencing problems. Given a graph, we aim to first establish a connection order on the players such that the total cost of connecting them to a
