Separable d-Permutations and Guillotine Partitions

چکیده
We characterize separable multidimensional permutations in terms of forbidden patterns and enumerate them by means of generating function, recursive formula, and explicit formula. We find a connection between multidimensional permutations and guillotine partitions of a box. In particular, a bijection between separable d-dimensional permutations and guillotine partitions of a 2d−1-dimensional box is constructed. We also study enumerating problems related to guillotine partitions under certain restrictions revealing connections to other combinatorial structures. This allows us to obtain several results on patterns in permutations.

Cut equivalence of d-dimensional guillotine partitions
A guillotine partition of a d-dimensional axis-aligned box B is a recursive partition of B by axis-aligned hyperplane cuts. The size of a guillotine partition is the number of boxes it contains. Two guillotine partitions are box-equivalent if their boxes satisfy compatible order relations with respect to the axes. (In many works, box-equivalent guillotine partitions are considered identical.) I...
متن کاملEquipopularity Classes in the Separable Permutations
When two patterns occur equally often in a set of permutations, we say that these patterns are equipopular. Using both structural and analytic tools, we classify the equipopular patterns in the set of separable permutations. In particular, we show that the number of equipopularity classes for length n patterns in the separable permutations is equal to the number of partitions of the integer n− 1.
متن کاملThe number of guillotine partitions in d dimensions
Guillotine partitions play an important role in many research areas and application domains, e.g., computational geometry, computer graphics, integrated circuit layout, and solid modeling, to mention just a few. In this paper we present an exact summation formula for the number of structurally-different guillotine partitions in d dimensions by n hyperplanes, and then show that it is Θ (( 2d− 1 ...
متن کاملOn Optimal Guillotine Partitions Approximating Optimal D-box Partitions
Given a set of n points, P, in E d (the plane when d = 2) that lie inside a d-box (rectangle when d = 2) R, we study the problem of partitioning R into d-boxes by introducing a set of orthogonal hyperplane segments (line segments when d = 2) whose total (d?1)-volume (length when d = 2) is the least possible. In a valid d-box partition, each point in P must be included in at least one partitioni...
متن کاملSubclasses of the Separable Permutations
The separable permutations are those that can be obtained from the trivial permutation by two operations called direct sum and skew sum. This class of permutations contains the class of stack sortable permutations,Avp231q, which are enumerated by the Catalan numbers. We prove that all subclasses of the separable permutations which do not contain Avp231q or a symmetry of this class have rational...
