3D generalization of Gaussian q-binomial coefficient

It is known that the coefficient of $q^t$ in Gaussian binomial coefficient $\binom{m+n}m_q$ equals the number of permutations of the multiset $\{0^m, 1^n\}$ with $t$ inversions. Is there a closed ...

Counting multisets satisfying a fixed property

Suppose $S$ is a infinite set and $R\subset S$ is also infinite. Now, we want to find the number of multisets $(M,\nu)$, with $M\subset S, |(M,\nu)|=n$, and having an additional property that for ...

Partitions of a multiset into equal parts

I am interested in a possible generalization of the following fact from combinatorics: If $n<m$ then there are at least as many ways to partition a set of size $nm$ into $m$ sets each of size $n$ ...

A natural sum over multisets (expectation over multinomial)

I think this is a natural question but am not sure where to find resources. Consider the possible multisets arising from choosing $n$ times an item from one of $k$ categories. We can represent one ...

Generating all derangements of a multiset?

I'm trying to find a reference to an algorithm for generating all the derangements of a multiset (this is not my area of expertise, by the way!), and so far I have found plenty on derangements of sets,...
