Symmetric Schroder paths and restricted involutions

Eva Y. P. Deng, Mark Dukes, Toufik Mansour +1

Let be the set of permutations in the symmetric group with prefix 12. This paper concerns the enumeration of involutions which avoid the set of patterns . We prese…

Hardness and Algorithms for Rainbow Connection

Sourav Chakraborty, Eldar Fischer, Arie Matsliah +1

An edge-colored graph is {\em rainbow connected} if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The {\em rainbow connection} of a connected graph…

Enumeration of -noncrossing partitions

Toufik Mansour, Simone Severini

A set partition is said to be -noncrossing if it avoids the pattern . We find an explicit formula for the ordinary generating function of the number of $(k,d…

Diffusion on an Ising chain with kinks

Alioscia Hamma, Toufik Mansour, Simone Severini

We count the number of histories between the two degenerate minimum energy configurations of the Ising model on a chain, as a function of the length n and the number d of kinks tha…

Counting paths in Bratteli diagrams for SU(2)_k

Toufik Mansour, Simone Severini

It is known that the Hilbert space dimensionality for quasiparticles in an SU(2)_k Chern-Simons-Witten theory is given by the number of directed paths in certain Bratteli diagrams.…

On the number of combinations without certain separations

Toufik Mansour, Yidong Sun

In this paper we enumerate the number of ways of selecting objects from objects arrayed in a line such that no two selected ones are separated by object…

Identities involving Narayana polynomials and Catalan numbers

Toufik Mansour, Yidong Sun

We first establish the result that the Narayana polynomials can be represented as the integrals of the Legendre polynomials. Then we represent the Catalan numbers in terms of the N…

Bell Polynomials and -generalized Dyck Paths

Toufik Mansour, Yidong Sun

A {\em k-generalized Dyck path} of length is a lattice path from to in the plane integer lattice consisting of horizontal-steps $(k…

Lower Bounds for the Size of Random Maximal H-Free Graphs

Guy Wolfovitz

We consider the next greedy randomized process for generating maximal H-free graphs: Given a fixed graph H and an integer n, start by taking a uniformly random permutation of the e…

Quasi-randomness is determined by the distribution of copies of a fixed graph in equicardinal large sets

Raphael Yuster

For every fixed graph and every fixed , we show that if a graph has the property that all subsets of size contain the ``correct'' number of copies of one…

Separable d-permutations and guillotine partitions

Andrei Asinowski, Toufik Mansour

We characterize separable multidimensional permutations in terms of forbidden patterns and enumerate them by means of generating function, recursive formula and explicit formula. W…
