Alternating Hamilton Paths and Cycles in Poset Products

Yuxian Dong, Jianxi Mao

We study alternating Hamilton paths and cycles in the comparability graphs of finite posets. We prove that if a finite poset with at least two elements admits an alternating Ha…

Infinite log-concavity of the Taylor coefficients of the Riemann xi-function

Yanxin Liu, Jianxi Mao

The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to belonging to the Laguerre--Pólya class. Brändén [J. Reine Angew. Math., 2011] proved that if an entire function in the Laguerre--Póly…

Proof of Fishburn's latent-subset conjecture

Yuxian Dong, Jianxi Mao

Fishburn's latent-subset conjecture, proposed in 1987 and revisited in 1988, asserts that for every dual intersecting family , there exists s…

Interlacing on the Unit Circle via Coefficientwise Reciprocals

Jianxi Mao, Lijie Wang, Sainan Zheng

Let be a polynomial with positive coefficients, and define its coefficientwise reciprocal by It is known that…

Proof of Almkvist's conjecture on the unimodality of partition polynomials

Jianxi Mao, Wenle Shi, Bao-xuan Zhu

For integers and , let The coefficient of in \(F_{r,n}(q)\) counts partitions of into parts at most…

Eulerian triangle is totally positive of order 3

Jianxi Mao

Brenti conjectured that the Eulerian triangle is totally positive. In this paper, we prove that the Eulerian triangle is totally positive of order 3, thereby providing a partial af…

Pfaffian--Toeplitz identities, Schur positivity, and the -log-convexity of Baxter polynomials

Yanxin Liu, Jianxi Mao

We use the Pfaffian minor summation formula together with Jacobi--Trudi Toeplitz matrices to derive Pfaffian expansions in skew Schur functions. This yields explicit Schur expansio…

Engel's Interval Packing Problem in the Boolean Lattice

Yuxian Dong, Jianxi Mao

Let \(\mathcal{B}_n\) be the Boolean lattice of all subsets of \([n]\) and let \(\mathcal{P}_{n;\ell,u}\) be the subposet of \(\mathcal{B}_n\) induced by the consecutive levels \(\…

The analytic properties of Hoggatt triangles

Jianxi Mao, Wenle Shi

The -Hoggatt triangle is a lower triangular matrix whose entries are given by specific minors of Pascal's triangle formed by consecutive rows and columns. The cases $d=1…

Total positivity of transformation matrices for uniform subdivisions

Yanxin Liu, Jianxi Mao

The transformation of the -vector of a finite simplicial complex under an -uniform subdivision is encoded by a transformation matrix. Mu and Welker conjectured that…

The Narayana transformation

Jianxi Mao, Lijie Wang

For , let \[ N_{n,m}(x)={}_2F_1(-n,-n-m;m+1;x), \] which specializes to the Narayana polynomials of types and for and , respectively. We…

Yet another criterion for the total positivity of Riordan arrays

Jianxi Mao, Lili Mu, Yi Wang

Let be a Riordan array, where and . We show that if the matrix \begin{equation*} \left[\begin{array}…

Equidistributions around special kinds of descents and excedances

Bin Han, Jianxi Mao, Jiang Zeng

We consider a sequence of four variable polynomials by refining Stieltjes' continued fraction for Eulerian polynomials. Using combinatorial theory of Jacobi-type continued fraction…

Further equidistribution of set-valued statistics on permutations

Jianxi Mao, Jiang Zeng

We construct bijections to show that two pairs of sextuple set-valued statistics of permutations are equidistributed on symmetric groups. This extends a recent result of Sokal and…

Eulerian polynomials and excedance statistics

Bin Han, Jianxi Mao, Jiang Zeng

A formula of Stembridge states that the permutation peak polynomials and descent polynomials are connected via a quadratique transformation. The aim of this paper is to establish t…
