Descending subsequences of random permutations
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a random permutation of the numbers 1, 2, . . . . n, let L, be the length of the longest descending subsequence of this permutation. Let F, be the minimal header (first element) of the descending subsequences having maximal length. It is known that EL,/&,,,, c and that c=2. However, the proofs that r=2 are far from elementary and involve limit processes. Several relationships between these two random variables are established, namely, EL, = ET=, P(F, = j) and P( F, + , =n+l)=l-EF,/n+l. Some other combinatorial identities regarding the distribution of the bivariate random variable (L,, F,,) are also proved. The definition of F, is generalized, characterizing the elements appearing at the first row and first column of the Young tableau corresponding to a given permutation. As a result. an elementary proof for c<2 is constructed.

Increasing Subsequences in Nonuniform Random Permutations
Connections between longest increasing subsequences in random permutations and eigenvalues of random matrices with complex entries have been intensely studied. This note applies properties of random elements of the finite general linear group to obtain results about the longest increasing and decreasing subsequences in non-uniform random permutations.

متن کاملThe Minimum Number of Monotone Subsequences
Erdős and Szekeres showed that any permutation of length n ≥ k2 + 1 contains a monotone subsequence of length k + 1. A simple example shows that there need be no more than (n mod k) (dn/ke k+1 ) + (k − (n mod k))(bn/kc k+1 ) such subsequences; we conjecture that this is the minimum number of such subsequences. We prove this for k = 2, with a complete characterisation of the extremal permutation...

Abstract. We compute the limit distribution for (centered and scaled) length of the longest increasing subsequence of random colored permutations. The limit distribution function is a power of that for usual random permutations computed recently by Baik, Deift, and Johansson (math.CO/9810105). In two–colored case our method provides a different proof of a similar result by Tracy and Widom about...
