Growth occurs in a wide range of systems ranging from biological tissue to additive manufacturing. This work considers surface growth, which mass is added the boundary continuum body ambient medium or within body. In contrast bulk growth interior, description requires addition new particles challenging for standard formulations solids that are meant situations with fixed amount material. Recent...

The standard algorithm for generating a random permutation gives rise to an obvious permutation statistic DIS that is readily seen to be Mahonian. We give evidence showing that it is not equal to any previously published statistic. Nor does its joint distribution with the standard Eulerian statistics des and exc appear to coincide with any known Euler-Mahonian pair. A general construction of Sk...

A poset P is called k-Eulerian if every interval of rank k is Eulerian. The class of k-Eulerian posets interpolates between graded posets and Eulerian posets. It is a straightforward observation that a 2k-Eulerian poset is also (2k+1)-Eulerian. We prove that the ab-index of a (2k+1)Eulerian poset can be expressed in terms of c = a + b, d = ab + ba and e2k+1 = (a − b)2k+1. The proof relies upon ...

Further work of Brylawski and Heron (see [4, p. 315]) explores other characterizations of Eulerian binary matroids. They showed, independently, that a binary matroid M is Eulerian if and only if its dual, M∗, is a binary affine matroid. More recently, Shikare and Raghunathan [5] have shown that a binary matroid M is Eulerian if and only if the number of independent sets of M is odd. This chapte...

In this article we define an Eulerian level set method for a partial differential equation on an evolving hypersurface Γ (t) contained in a domain Ω ⊂ R. The key idea is based on formulating the partial differential equations on all level set surfaces of a prescribed time dependent function Φ whose zero level set is Γ (t). The resulting equation is then solved in one dimension higher but can be...

Abstract In this paper, we explore the interrelationship between Eulerian numbers and B splines. Specifically, using B splines, we give the explicit formulas of the refined Eulerian numbers, and descents polynomials. Moreover, we prove that the coefficients of descent polynomials D d (t) are logconcave. This paper also provides a new approach to study Eulerian numbers and descent polynomials.
