Non-associative Hopf Algebra on Dyck Paths Arising from the Shuffle-insertion Product
Nantel Bergeron, Yuchen Guo, Huilan Li
In this paper, we define a shuffle-insertion product and a cut-box coproduct on the vector space spanned by Dyck paths, where the product is commutative but non-associative. We pro…

Zihan Chen, Di Zhu, Lei Nico Zheng
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly used as synthetic users, stand-ins for human respondents whose simulated answers feed product, policy, and market decisions. We ask wh…
