On an open problem of Green and Losonczy: exact enumeration of freely braided permutations

چکیده

Recently, Green and Losonczy [5, 6] introduced freely braided permutations as a special class of restricted permutations that has arisen in the study of Schubert varieties. They suggest as an open problem to enumerate the number of freely braided permutations in Sn. In this paper, we prove that the generating function for the number of freely braided permutations in Sn is given by 1−3x−2x2 +(1+ x) √ 1−4x 1−4x− x2 +(1− x2) √ 1−4x .

Freely Braided Elements in Coxeter Groups

We introduce a notion of " freely braided element " for simply laced Cox-eter groups. We show that an arbitrary group element w has at most 2 N (w) com-mutation classes of reduced expressions, where N(w) is a certain statistic defined in terms of the positive roots made negative by w. This bound is achieved if w is freely braided. In the type A setting, we show that the bound is achieved only f...

Braided Elements in Coxeter Groups , Ii

We continue the study of freely braided elements of simply laced Coxeter groups, which we introduced in a previous work. A known upper bound for the number of commutation classes of reduced expressions for an element of a simply laced Coxeter group is shown to be achieved only when the element is freely braided; this establishes the converse direction of a previous result. It is also shown that...

On the Maximally Clustered Elements of Coxeter Groups

We continue the study of the maximally clustered elements for simply laced Coxeter groups which were recently introduced by Losonczy. Such elements include as a special case the freely braided elements of Losonczy and the author, which in turn constitute a superset of the iji-avoiding elements of Fan. Our main result is to classify the MC-finite Coxeter groups, namely those Coxeter groups havin...

The Enumeration of Maximally Clustered Permutations

The maximally clustered permutations are characterized by avoiding the classical permutation patterns {3421, 4312, 4321}. This class contains the freely braided permutations and the fully commutative permutations. In this work, we show that the generating functions for certain fully commutative pattern classes can be transformed to give generating functions for the corresponding freely braided ...

Exact algorithms for solving a bi-level location–allocation problem considering customer preferences

The issue discussed in this paper is a bi-level problem in which two rivals compete in attracting customers and maximizing their profits which means that competitors competing for market share must compete in the centers that are going to be located in the near future. In this paper, a nonlinear model presented in the literature considering customer preferences is linearized. Customer behavior ...
