Enumeration of Pin-Permutations

Enumeration of Pin-Permutations

In this paper, we study the class of pin-permutations, that is to say of permutations having a pin representation. This class has been recently introduced in [16], where it is used to find properties (algebraicity of the generating function, decidability of membership) of classes of permutations, depending on the simple permutations this class contains. We give a recursive characterization of t...

The Enumeration of Simple Permutations

Efficient Enumeration of Graceful Permutations

A graceful n-permutation is a graceful labeling of an n-vertex path Pn. In this paper we improve the asymptotic lower bound on the number of such permutations from Ω((5/3)n) to Ω(2.37n). This is a computer-assisted proof based on an effective algorithm that enumerates graceful n-permutations. Our algorithm is also presented in detail. 1. Graceful graphs and permutations Let G = (V,E) be an undi...

The enumeration of simple permutations

A simple permutation is one which maps no proper non-singleton interval onto an interval. We consider the enumeration of simple permutations from several aspects. Our results include a straightforward relationship between the ordinary generating function for simple permutations and that for all permutations, that the coefficients of this series are not P -recursive, an asymptotic expansion for ...

Enumeration Schemes for Restricted Permutations

Zeilberger’s enumeration schemes can be used to completely automate the enumeration of many permutation classes. We extend his enumeration schemes so that they apply to many more permutation classes and describe the Maple package WilfPlus, which implements this process. We also compare enumeration schemes to three other systematic enumeration techniques: generating trees, substitution decomposi...
