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 ...

Regenerative random permutations of integers [PDF]
Annals of Probability, 2017 Motivated by recent studies of large Mallows$(q)$ permutations, we propose a class of random permutations of $\mathbb{N}_{+}$ and of $\mathbb{Z}$, called regenerative permutations.

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,

On the distribution of the length of the longest increasing subsequence of random permutations [PDF]
, 1998 Let SN be the group of permutations of 1,2,..., N. If 7r E SN, we say that 7(i1),... , 7F(ik) is an increasing subsequence in 7r if il < i2 < ... < ik and 7r(ii) < 7r(i2) < ...< 7r(ik). Let 1N(r) be the length of the longest increasing subsequence.

The Brownian limit of separable permutations [PDF]
Annals of Probability, 2016 We study random uniform permutations in an important class of pattern-avoiding permutations: the separable permutations. We describe the asymptotics of the number of occurrences of any fixed given pattern in such a random permutation in terms of the ...

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

Permutations via linear translators [PDF]
Finite Fields Their Appl., 2016 We show that many infinite classes of permutations over finite fields can be constructed via translators with a large choice of parameters. We first characterize some functions having linear translators, based on which several families of permutations ...

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

Counting permutations by runs [PDF]
Journal of Combinatorial Theory, 2015 In his Ph.D. thesis, Ira Gessel proved a reciprocity formula for noncommutative symmetric functions which enables one to count words and permutations with restrictions on the lengths of their increasing runs. We generalize Gessel's theorem to allow for a
