Enumerating rc-Invariant Permutations with No Long Decreasing Subsequences∗

Increasing Subsequences in Nonuniform Random Permutations

Connections between longest increasing subsequences in random permutations and eigenvalues of random matrices with complex entries have been intensely studied. This note applies properties of random elements of the finite general linear group to obtain results about the longest increasing and decreasing subsequences in non-uniform random permutations.

Posets of Matrices and Permutations with Forbidden Subsequences

The enumeration of permutations with specific forbidden subsequences has applications in areas ranging from algebraic geometry to the study of sorting algorithms. We consider a ranked poset of permutation matrices whose global structure incorporates the solution to the equivalent problem of enumerating permutations which contain a required subsequence. We describe this structure completely for ...

Young classes of permutations

We characterise those classes of permutations closed under taking subsequences and reindexing that also have the property that for every tableau shape either every permutation of that shape or no permutation of that shape belongs to the class. The characterisation is in terms of the dominance order for partitions (and their conjugates) and shows that for any such class there is a constant k suc...

Increasing and Decreasing Subsequences and Their Variants

We survey the theory of increasing and decreasing subsequences of permutations. Enumeration problems in this area are closely related to the RSK algorithm. The asymptotic behavior of the expected value of the length is(w) of the longest increasing subsequence of a permutation w of 1, 2, . . . , n was obtained by Vershik-Kerov and (almost) by Logan-Shepp. The entire limiting distribution of is(w...
