A Heyting Algebra on Dyck Paths of Type and
In this article we investigate the lattices of Dyck paths of type and
under dominance order, and explicitly describe their Heyting algebra structure.
This means that each Dyck path of either type has a relative pseudocomplement
with respect to some other Dyck path of the same type. While the proof that
this lattice forms a Heyting algebra is quite straightforward, the explicit
computation of the relative pseudocomplements using the lattice-theoretic
definition is quite tedious. We give a combinatorial description of the Heyting
algebra operations join, meet, and relative pseudocomplement in terms of height
sequences, and we use these results to derive formulas for pseudocomplements
and to characterize the regular elements in these lattices.Comment: Final version. 21 pages, 5 figure
A lattice on Dyck paths close to the Tamari lattice
We introduce a new poset structure on Dyck paths where the covering relation
is a particular case of the relation inducing the Tamari lattice. We prove that
the transitive closure of this relation endows Dyck paths with a lattice
structure. We provide a trivariate generating function counting the number of
Dyck paths with respect to the semilength, the numbers of outgoing and incoming
edges in the Hasse diagram. We deduce the numbers of coverings, meet and join
irreducible elements. As a byproduct, we present a new involution on Dyck paths
that transports the bistatistic of the numbers of outgoing and incoming edges
into its reverse. Finally, we give a generating function for the number of
intervals, and we compare this number with the number of intervals in the
Tamari lattice
The Rank Enumeration of Certain Parabolic Non-Crossing Partitions
We consider -divisible non-crossing partitions of with
the property that for some no block contains more than one of the
first integers. We give a closed formula for the number of multi-chains of
such non-crossing partitions with prescribed number of blocks. Building on this
result, we compute Chapoton's -triangle in this setting and conjecture a
combinatorial interpretation for the -triangle. This conjecture is proved
for .Comment: 31 pages, 5 figures. Comments are welcom
Enumerative Combinatorics
Enumerative Combinatorics focusses on the exact and asymptotic counting of combinatorial objects. It is strongly connected to the probabilistic analysis of large combinatorial structures and has fruitful connections to several disciplines, including statistical physics, algebraic combinatorics, graph theory and computer science. This workshop brought together experts from all these various fields, including also computer algebra, with the goal of promoting cooperation and interaction among researchers with largely varying backgrounds
