We study the iteration of the process "a particle jumps to the right" in permutations. We prove that the set of permutations obtained in this model after a given number of iterations from the identity is a class of pattern avoiding permutations. We characterize the elements of the basis of this class and we enumerate these "forbidden minimal patterns" by giving their bivariate exponential generating function: we achieve this via a catalytic variable, the number of left-to-right maxima. We show that this generating function is a D-finite function satisfying a nice differential equation of order~2. We give some congruence properties for the coefficients of this generating function, and we show that their asymptotics involves a rather unusual algebraic exponent (the golden ratio $(1+\sqrt 5)/2$) and some unusual closed-form constants. We end by proving a limit law: a forbidden pattern of length $n$ has typically $(\ln n) /\sqrt{5}$ left-to-right maxima, with Gaussian fluctuations. Comment: Corresponds to a work presented at the conferences Analysis of Algorithms (AofA'15) and Permutation Patterns'15. This arXiv revision just contains some cosmetic changes to fit to the journal style

We study the problem of counting alternating permutations avoiding collections of permutation patterns including $132$. We construct a bijection between the set $S_n(132)$ of $132$-avoiding permutations and the set $A_{2n + 1}(132)$ of alternating, $132$-avoiding permutations. For every set $p_1, \ldots, p_k$ of patterns and certain related patterns $q_1, \ldots, q_k$, our bijection restricts to a bijection between $S_n(132, p_1, \ldots, p_k)$, the set of permutations avoiding $132$ and the $p_i$, and $A_{2n + 1}(132, q_1, \ldots, q_k)$, the set of alternating permutations avoiding $132$ and the $q_i$. This reduces the enumeration of the latter set to that of the former.

Abstract We derive eight identities of symmetry in three variables related to generalized twisted Bernoulli polynomials and generalized twisted power sums, both of which are twisted by ramified roots of unity. All of these are new, since there have been results only about identities of symmetry in two variables. The derivations of identities are based on the p-adic integral expression of the generating function for the generalized twisted Bernoulli polynomials and the quotient of p-adic integrals that can be expressed as the exponential generating function for the generalized twisted power sums.

Abstract In this paper, we consider a polynomial generalization, denoted by $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k), of the restricted Stirling numbers of the first and second kind, which reduces to these numbers when a = 1 and b = 0 or when a = 0 and b = 1, respectively. If a = b = 1, then $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k) gives the cardinality of the set of Lah distributions on n distinct objects in which no block has cardinality exceeding m with k blocks altogether. We derive several combinatorial properties satisfied by $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k) and some additional properties in the case when a = b = 1. Our results not only generalize previous formulas found for the restricted Stirling numbers of both kinds but also yield apparently new formulas for these numbers in several cases. Finally, an exponential generating function formula is derived for $\begin{array}{} u_m^{a,b} \end{array}$ (n, k) as well as for the associated Cauchy numbers.

A minor-closed class of graphs is addable if each excluded minor is 2-connected. We see that such a classof labelled graphs has smooth growth; and, for the random graphRnsampled uniformly from then-vertex graphs in, the fragment not in the giant component asymptotically has a simple ‘Boltzmann Poisson distribution’. In particular, asn→ ∞ the probability thatRnis connected tends to 1/A(ρ), whereA(x) is the exponential generating function forand ρ is its radius of convergence.

A new family of generalized Stirling and Bell numbers is introduced by considering powers $(VU)^n$ of the noncommuting variables $U,V$ satisfying $UV=VU+hV^s$. The case $s=0$ (and $h=1$) corresponds to the conventional Stirling numbers of second kind and Bell numbers. For these generalized Stirling numbers, the recursion relation is given and explicit expressions are derived. Furthermore, they are shown to be connection coefficients and a combinatorial interpretation in terms of statistics is given. It is also shown that these Stirling numbers can be interpreted as $s$-rook numbers introduced by Goldman and Haglund. For the associated generalized Bell numbers, the recursion relation as well as a closed form for the exponential generating function is derived. Furthermore, an analogue of Dobinski's formula is given for these Bell numbers.

The nodes of the de Bruijn graph $B(d,3)$ consist of all strings of length $3$, taken from an alphabet of size $d$, with edges between words which are distinct substrings of a word of length $4$. We give an inductive characterization of the maximum independent sets of the de Bruijn graphs $B(d,3)$ and for the de Bruijn graph of diameter three with loops removed, for arbitrary alphabet size. We derive a recurrence relation and an exponential generating function for their number. This recurrence allows us to construct exponentially many comma-free codes of length 3 with maximal cardinality.

In the paper, the authors find closed forms for derangement numbers in terms of the Hessenberg determinants, discover a recurrence relation of derangement numbers, present a formula for any higher order derivative of the exponential generating function of derangement numbers, and compute some related Hessenberg and tridiagonal determinants.

We find, in the form of a continued fraction, the generating function for the number of $(132)$-avoiding permutations that have a given number of $(123)$ patterns, and show how to extend this to permutations that have exactly one $(132)$ pattern. We also find some properties of the continued fraction, which is similar to, though more general than, those that were studied by Ramanujan.
