Rebecca Bourn, William Q. Erickson
We prove a conjecture of Bourn and Willenbring (2020) regarding the palindromicity and unimodality of a certain family of polynomials . These recursively defined polynomial…

Graphical methods and rings of invariants on the symmetric algebra
Rebecca Bourn, William Q. Erickson, Jeb F. Willenbring
Let be a complex classical group, and let be its defining representation (possibly plus a copy of the dual). A foundational problem in classical invariant theory is to writ…

Expected value of the one-dimensional Earth Mover's Distance
Rebecca Bourn, Jeb F. Willenbring
From a combinatorial point of view, we consider the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) associated with a metric measure space. The specific case considered is deceptively simple: Let the…
