Mark Conger, D. Viswanath
This paper is about the following question: How many riffle shuffles mix a deck of card for games such as blackjack and bridge? An object that comes up in answering this question i…
A Refinement of the Eulerian Numbers, and the Joint Distribution of and Des() in
Mark Conger
Given a permutation chosen uniformly from , we explore the joint distribution of and the number of descents in . We obtain a formula for the number of permutatio…
Normal approximations for descents and inversions of permutations of multisets
Mark Conger, D. Viswanath
Normal approximations for descents and inversions of permutations of the set are well known. A number of sequences that occur in practice, such as the human genome…
Riffle shuffles of decks with repeated cards
Mark Conger, D. Viswanath
By a well-known result of Bayer and Diaconis, the maximum entropy model of the common riffle shuffle implies that the number of riffle shuffles necessary to mix a standard deck of…
