Some exactly solvable models of urn process theory [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2006
We establish a fundamental isomorphism between discrete-time balanced urn processes and certain ordinary differential systems, which are nonlinear, autonomous, and of a simple monomial form.

Cost-sharing in Parking Games [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science
In this paper, we study the total displacement statistic of parking functions from the perspective of cooperative game theory. We introduce parking games, which are coalitional cost-sharing games in characteristic function form derived from the total ...

Subcritical pattern languages for and/or trees [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2008
Let $P_k(f)$ denote the density of and/or trees defining a boolean function $f$ within the set of and/or trees with fixed number of variables $k$. We prove that there exists constant $B_f$ such that $P_k(f) \sim B_f \cdot k^{-L(f)-1}$ when $k \to \infty$,

Tiling a Rectangle with Polyominoes [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2003
A polycube in dimension $d$ is a finite union of unit $d$-cubes whose vertices are on knots of the lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We show that, for each family of polycubes $E$, there exists a finite set $F$ of bricks (parallelepiped rectangles) such that the ...

Counting descents, rises, and levels, with prescribed first element, in words [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Recently, Kitaev and Remmel [Classifying descents according to parity, Annals of Combinatorics, to appear 2007] refined the well-known permutation statistic ``descent'' by fixing parity of one of the descent's numbers. Results in that paper were extended

Multivariate generalizations of the Foata-Schützenberger equidistribution [PDF]

open access: yesDiscrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2006
A result of Foata and Schützenberger states that two statistics on permutations, the number of inversions and the inverse major index, have the same distribution on a descent class.

Symplectic rigidity and quantum mechanics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Ideas from Hodge theory have found important applications in representation theory. We give a survey of joint work with Ben Elias which uncovers Hodge theoretic structure in the Hecke category ("Soergel bimodules"). We also outline similarities and differences to other combinatorial Hodge theories.

Some remarks on multiplicity codes

open access: yes, 2014
Multiplicity codes are algebraic error-correcting codes generalizing classical polynomial evaluation codes, and are based on evaluating polynomials and their derivatives.
