Hydrodynamical methods for analyzing longest increasing subsequences
نویسنده
چکیده
Let Ln be the length of the longest increasing subsequence of a random permutation of the numbers 1, . . . , n, for the uniform distribution on the set of permutations. We discuss the “hydrodynamical approach” to the analysis of the limit behavior, which probably started with Hammersley (1972), and was subsequently further developed by several authors. We also give two proofs of an exact (non-asymptotic) result, announced in Rains (2000).

Hammersley's Interacting Particle Process and Longest Increasing Subsequences
In a famous paper 8] Hammersley investigated the length L n of the longest increasing subsequence of a random n-permutation. Implicit in that paper is a certain one-dimensional continuous-space interacting particle process. By studying a hydrodynamical limit for Hammersley's process we show by fairly \soft" arguments that limn ?1=2 EL n = 2. This is a known result, but previous proofs (Vershik-...
متن کاملPatience Sorting, Longest Increasing Subsequences and a Continuous Space Analog of the Simple Asymmetric Exclusion Process
There is a broad circle of ideas relating to the length Ln of the longest increasing subsequence of a random n-permutation. After reviewing known results and methods, we develop two new themes. The simplest algorithm for computing the length of the longest increasing subsequence can be viewed as a card gard, patience sorting, and one theme is to give the first asymptotic probabilistic analysis ...

In this paper we present three algorithms that solve three combinatorial optimization problems related to each other. One of them is the patience sorting game, invented as a practical method of sorting real decks of cards. The second problem is computing the longest monotone increasing subsequence of the given sequence of n positive integers in the range 1; : : : ; n. The third problem is to en...
متن کاملIncreasing 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.
