The Number of Permutations Realized By a Shift

نویسنده

  • Sergi Elizalde
چکیده

A permutation π is realized by the shift on N symbols if there is an infinite word on an N -letter alphabet whose successive left shifts by one position are lexicographically in the same relative order as π. The set of realized permutations is closed under consecutive pattern containment. Permutations that cannot be realized are called forbidden patterns. It was shown in [1] that the shortest forbidden patterns of the shift on N symbols have length N + 2. In this paper we give a characterization of the set of permutations that are realized by the shift on N symbols, and we enumerate them according to their length.

Permutations realized by shifts

A permutation π is realized by the shift on N symbols if there is an infinite word on an N -letter alphabet whose successive left shifts by one position are lexicographically in the same relative order as π. The set of realized permutations is closed under consecutive pattern containment. Permutations that cannot be realized are called forbidden patterns. It was shown in [J.M. Amigó, S. Elizald...

Permutations and β-shifts

Given a real number β > 1, a permutation π of length n is realized by the β-shift if there is some x ∈ [0, 1] such that the relative order of the sequence x, f(x), . . . , f(x), where f(x) is the factional part of βx, is the same as that of the entries of π. Widely studied from such diverse fields as number theory and automata theory, β-shifts are prototypical examples onedimensional chaotic dy...

Allowed patterns of β-shifts

For a real number β > 1, we say that a permutation π of length n is allowed (or realized) by the β-shift if there is some x ∈ [0, 1] such that the relative order of the sequence x, f(x), . . . , fn−1(x), where f(x) is the fractional part of βx, is the same as that of the entries of π. Widely studied from such diverse fields as number theory and automata theory, β-shifts are prototypical example...

On the Permutations Generated by Cyclic Shift

The set of permutations generated by cyclic shift is studied using a number system coding for these permutations. The system allows to find the rank of a permutation given how it has been generated, and to determine a permutation given its rank. It defines a code describing structural and symmetry properties of the set of permutations ordered according to generation by cyclic shift. The code is...

Sharply $(n-2)$-transitive Sets of Permutations

Let $S_n$ be the symmetric group on the set $[n]={1, 2, ldots, n}$. For $gin S_n$ let $fix(g)$ denote the number of fixed points of $g$. A subset $S$ of $S_n$ is called $t$-emph{transitive} if for any two $t$-tuples $(x_1,x_2,ldots,x_t)$ and $(y_1,y_2,ldots ,y_t)$ of distinct elements of $[n]$, there exists $gin S$ such that $x_{i}^g=y_{i}$ for any $1leq ileq t$ and additionally $S$ is called e...
