The Kasteleyn matrix (for counting perfect matchings) and the Lindström-Gessel-Viennot matrix (for counting families of nonintersecting lattice paths) are tightly related, as observed many times by ...

Context. This is the first in a set of tiny pieces of a problem I've formulated to help me measure the "complexity" of certain piecewise linear functions. Thanks in advance for your help and patience. ...

Let $M$ come from an ensemble of $N\times N$ matrices. The Wigner surmise is density function $p^W_0(s)=\frac{\pi}{2}se^{-\pi s^2/4}$. From a random matrix point of view, we can write $\rho^W_0(s)=\...
