Iterating random functions on a finite set
W. M. Y. Goh, P. Hitczenko, E. Schmutz
Let f_1,f_2,..., be functions chosen independently and uniformly from the set of all functions from a set of cardinality n into itself. Let g_t be the composition of the first t fu…
Expected number of distinct part sizes in a random integer composition
Pawel Hitczenko, Gilbert Stengle
The asymptotics, as , for the expected number of distinct part sizes in a random composition of an integer n is obtained.
Random partitions with non negative rth differences
Rod Canfield, Sylvie Corteel, Pawel Hitczenko
Let be the set of partitions of n with non negative rth differences. Let be a partition chosen uniformly at random among the set . Let be a positive rth…
S-partitions
William M. Y. Goh, Pawel Hitczenko, Ali Shokoufandeh
This note reports on the number of s-partitions of a natural number n. In an s-partition each cell has the form for some integer k. Such partitions have potential applicati…
Average number of distinct part sizes in a random Carlitz composition
William M. Y. Goh, Pawel Hitczenko
A composition of an integer is called Carlitz if adjacent parts are different. Several characteristics of random Carlitz compsitions have been studied recently by Knopfmacher and P…
