Pattern avoidance and P-recursiveness

A sequence $\{a_n\}_{n \geq 0}$ is said to be P-recursive if there exist polynomials $p_0(n), p_1(n), \dots , p_k(n)$ such that $$ \sum_{i=0}^k p_i(n) a_{n+i}=0 $$ for all $n \in \mathbb N$. Let $ P$ ...

Addition theorem for Schur function in multivariable

Working with the following problem Expansion in Schur function of negative binomial exponent I need to find the expansion of $$ s_{\lambda}(x_1 + y , x_2 +y, \ldots, x_n +y)$$ in terms of schur ...

Expansion in Schur function of negative binomial exponent

I want to know if there exist a known expansion or can be derived of the polynomial $$ \prod_{i=1}^{m}\prod_{j= 1}^{n}(1-z(x_i + y_i))^{-w} \tag{*}$$ in terms of Schur function. That is asking for (*) ...

Expressing symmetric function in power-sum basis

I am trying to prove the following identity \begin{equation} \prod_{i=1}^{m}(1-x_{i}z)^{-u}\prod_{j=1}^{n}(1-y_{i}z)^{-v} \prod_{i=1}^{m}\prod_{j=1}^{n}(1-(x_i +y_j)z)^{-w}\\ = \sum_{\lambda, \mu}c_{\...

Combinatorial bijection on monotone sequences

Let $(n),\mu$ be the partition of $n$ define $H_g^{m}((n);\mu)$ count's the number of tuples $(\tau_1,\ldots,\tau_r)$ of transposition in symmetric group $S_n$ with the following conditions $$ (1,2,\...

On the number of Eulerian orderings

This post is a sequel of Eulerian ordering of the integers modulo n. Let us recall the definition of an Eulerian ordering: Let $n>1$ be an integer. Consider the set $C_n := \{0,1, \dots , n-1\}$....

The Möbius number of the nonabelian finite simple groups

Let $L$ be a finite lattice with minimum $\hat{0}$ and maximum $\hat{1}$. The Möbius function $\mu$ for $L$ is defined recursively by: for $\forall a,b \in L$ with $a<b$, $\mu(b,b) = 1$ and $\mu(...

Two to the power of a triangular number: bijections

The numbers $2^{n(n+1)/2}$ come up in various enumerative contexts. In addition to the trivial example (bit-strings of length $n(n+1)/2$) and the old example of domino tilings of Aztec diamonds (...

Polya's theory of counting and commutative algebra

Do you know if there exist algebraic studies of the ring of the power series which emerge when using the theory of Polya for enumeration of sets with certain symmetries? For instance if some ideals ...
