The expected number of inversions after n adjacent transpositions [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2009 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 ...

Calculating Permutation Entropy without Permutations [PDF]
Complexity, 2020 A method for analyzing sequential data sets, similar to the permutation entropy one, is discussed. The characteristic features of this method are as follows: it preserves information about equal values, if any, in the embedding vectors; it is exempt from combinatorics; and it delivers the same entropy value as does the permutation method, provided the ...

Polyominoes determined by permutations [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2006 In this paper we consider the class of $\textit{permutominoes}$, i.e. a special class of polyominoes which are determined by a pair of permutations having the same size. We give a characterization of the permutations associated with convex permutominoes,

Minimal Factorizations of Permutations into Star Transpositions [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2008 We give a compact expression for the number of factorizations of any permutation into a minimal number of transpositions of the form $(1 i)$. Our result generalizes earlier work of Pak ($\textit{Reduced decompositions of permutations in terms of star ...

Modified Growth Diagrams, Permutation Pivots, and the BWX Map $\phi^*$ [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2012 In their paper on Wilf-equivalence for singleton classes, Backelin, West, and Xin introduced a transformation $\phi^*$, defined by an iterative process and operating on (all) full rook placements on Ferrers boards. Bousquet-Mélou and Steingrimsson proved

Snow Leopard Permutations and Their Even and Odd Threads [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2016 Caffrey, Egge, Michel, Rubin and Ver Steegh recently introduced snow leopard permutations, which are the anti-Baxter permutations that are compatible with the doubly alternating Baxter permutations. Among other things, they showed that these permutations

eLife, 2016 Exploration of developmental mechanisms classically relies on analysis of pattern regularities. Whether disorders induced by biological noise may carry information on building principles of developmental systems is an important debated question. Here, we

The # product in combinatorial Hopf algebras [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2011 We show that the # product of binary trees introduced by Aval and Viennot (2008) is in fact defined at the level of the free associative algebra, and can be extended to most of the classical combinatorial Hopf algebras.

Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2011 In this work we introduce and study tree-like tableaux, which are certain fillings of Ferrers diagrams in simple bijection with permutation tableaux and alternative tableaux.
