Eulerian polynomial from Bruhat interval - h* of something?
Let $\sigma \in S_n$ be a fixed permutation.
Consider the polynomial
$$
P_{\sigma}(t) = \sum_{\substack{\pi \in S_n \\ \pi \leq \sigma}} t^{\textrm{des}(\pi)}
$$
where $\leq$ denotes Bruhat order, and ...

Sampling theorems for partition polynomials (associahedra, noncrossing partitions / parking functions)
Define the associahedra partition polynomial
$$
\begin{split}
A(x) &= 1 + A_1(u_1) z + A_2(u_1,u_2) z^2 + A_3(u_1,u_2,u_3) z^3 + \cdots\\
& \qquad\qquad = 1 + \sum_{n \geq 1} A_n(u_1,...,u_n) ...

Combinatorial proof of a matrix equation
I'm looking for combinatorial proofs (using, e.g., trees) of the following particular matrix equation $(I)$ and also combinatoric operational analogs of its solution via matrix inversion and/or Cramer'...

Guises of the refined Eulerian numbers, generated by tangent vectors (OEIS A145271)
The Eulerian numbers (OEIS A008292, not to be confused with the Euler numbers) pop up in numerous scenarios in combinatorics and advanced analysis, one as the components of the h-vectors of the ...

How different can the constituents of an Ehrhart quasi-polynomial be?
Consider a $d$-dimensional convex rational polytope $P\subset\mathbb{Q}^d\subset\mathbb{R}^d$. Then, it's a standard fact that in general the function counting the number of lattice points inside the ...

Narayana polynomials as numerators of Ehrhart series rational functions?
The Narayana polynomials (OEIS A001263) are the h-polynomials of the associahedra (the Stasheff polytopes) and their dual simplicial polytopes (cf. the Fomin and Reading ref in the OEIS entry).
Are ...

Loday's characterization and enumeration of faces of associahedra (Stasheff polytopes)
From "The multiple facets of the associahedra" by Loday:
Let us consider the formal power series
$$f(x) = x+a_1 x^2 +a_2 x^3 + \cdots+ a_n x^{n+1} + \cdots$$
and let
$$ g(x) = x+b_1 x^2 + ...

Relating face polytopes of permutohedra to integer partitions
The OEIS entries A019538, A049019, and A133314, relate a refinement of the face polynomials of the permutohedra (A049019) to partition polynomials (A133314) defined by multiplicative inversion of an ...

"MultiCatalan numbers"
Could anyone provide a reference for the following (sort of) generalization of Catalan numbers: the multinomial coefficient
$$
\binom{2k_1+3k_2+4k_3+...}{k_1+2k_2+3k_3+...,k_1,k_2,k_3,...}
$$
is ...
