Compositions of n as alternating sequences of weakly increasing and strictly decreasing partitions

Aubrey Blecher, Charlotte Brennan, Toufik Mansour (2012)

Open Mathematics

Compositions and partitions of positive integers are often studied in separate frameworks where partitions are given by q-series generating functions and compositions exhibiting specific patterns are designated by generating functions for these patterns. Here, we view compositions as alternating sequences of weakly increasing and strictly decreasing partitions (i.e. alternating blocks). We obtain generating functions for the number of such partitions in terms of the size of the composition, the...

Discrete limit laws for additive functions on the symmetric group

Eugenijus Manstavičius (2005)

Acta Mathematica Universitatis Ostraviensis

Inspired by probabilistic number theory, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which the numbers of cycles with lengths in arbitrary sets posses an asymptotic limit law. The approach can be extended to deal with the counts of components with the size constraints for other random combinatorial structures.
