Descent polynomials for kk bubble-sortable permutations of type B

نویسنده

  • Matthew Hyatt
چکیده

Motivated by the work of Chung, Claesson, Dukes, and Graham in [5], we define a natural type B analog of the classic bubble sort, and use it to define a type B analog of the maximum drop statistic. We enumerate (by explicit, recursive, and generating function formulas) signed permutations with r type B descents and type B maximum drop at most k. We also find a connection between these signed permutations and certain 2-colored juggling sequences.

On the Real-Rootedness of the Descent Polynomials of (n-2)-Stack Sortable Permutations

Bóna conjectured that the descent polynomials on (n−2)-stack sortable permutations have only real zeros. Brändén proved this conjecture by establishing a more general result. In this paper, we give another proof of Brändén’s result by using the theory of s-Eulerian polynomials recently developed by Savage and Visontai.

Revstack Sort, Zigzag Patterns, Descent Polynomials of $t$-revstack Sortable Permutations, and Steingrímsson's Sorting Conjecture

In this paper we examine the sorting operator T (LnR) = T (R)T (L)n. Applying this operator to a permutation is equivalent to passing the permutation reversed through a stack. We prove theorems that characterise t-revstack sortability in terms of patterns in a permutation that we call zigzag patterns. Using these theorems we characterise those permutations of length n which are sorted by t appl...

Actions on permutations and unimodality of descent polynomials

We study a group action on permutations due to Foata and Strehl and use it to prove that the descent generating polynomial of certain sets of permutations has a nonnegative expansion in the basis {t(1 + t)} i=0 , m = ⌊(n−1)/2⌋. This property implies symmetry and unimodality. We prove that the action is invariant under stack-sorting which strengthens recent unimodality results of Bóna. We prove ...

Descent polynomials for permutations with bounded drop size

Motivated by juggling sequences and bubble sort, we examine permutations on the set {1, 2, . . . , n} with d descents and maximum drop size k. We give explicit formulas for enumerating such permutations for given integers k and d. We also derive the related generating functions and prove unimodality and symmetry of the coefficients. Résumé. Motivés par les “suites de jonglerie” et le tri à bull...

Sorting and preimages of pattern classes

We introduce an algorithm to determine when a sorting operation, such as stack-sort or bubble-sort, outputs a given pattern. The algorithm provides a new proof of the description of West-2-stack-sortable permutations, that is permutations that are completely sorted when passed twice through a stack, in terms of patterns. We also solve the long-standing problem of describing West-3-stack-sortabl...
