Asymptotics of the Stirling numbers of the first kind revisited: A saddle point approach
Using the saddle point method, we obtain from the generating function of the Stirling numbers of the first kind n j and Cauchy's integral formula, asymptotic results in centr...

Families of prudent self-avoiding walks
A self-avoiding walk (SAW) on the square lattice is prudent if it never takes a step towards a vertex it has already visited. Prudent walks differ from most classes of SAW that ha...

Permutation Patterns and Continued Fractions
We find, in the form of a continued fraction, the generating function for the number of (132)-avoiding permutations that have a given number of (123) patterns, and show how to ext...

On the Theory of Pfaffian Orientations. I. Perfect Matchings and Permanents
Kasteleyn stated that the generating function of the perfect matchings of a graph of genus g may be written as a linear combination of 4g Pfaffians. Here we prove this statement. ...

Basis partitions
We study basis partitions, introduced by Hansraj Gupta in 1978. For this family of partitions, we give a recurrence, a generating function, identities relating basis partitions to...

Steep polyominoes, q-Motzkin numbers and q-Bessel functions
We introduce three deÿnitions of q-analogs of Motzkin numbers and illustrate some combinatorial interpretations of these q-numbers. We relate the ÿrst class of q-numbers to the ...

Multi-statistic enumeration of two-stack sortable permutations
Using Zeilberger’s factorization of two-stack-sortable permutations, we write a functional equation — of a strange sort — that defines their generating function according t...

On a Partition Function of Richard Stanley
In this paper, we examine partitions classified according to the number r() of odd parts in and s() the number of odd parts in , the conjugate of . The generating function for ...

Time-dependent performance analysis of a discrete-time priority queue
We present the transient analysis of the system content in a two-class discrete-time MX /D/1 priority queue. In particular, we derive an expression for the generating function of ...
