These neural networks are trained ...

CombinaTexas 2018 February 10 – 11 , 2018

In this talk we give combinatorial proofs of q-Stirling identities using restricted growth words.

We also develop a two parameter generalization to unify identities of Mercier and include a symmetric function versi...
