Avoidable Binary Patterns in Partial Words
The problem of classifying all the avoidable binary patterns in words has been completely solved (see Chapter 3 of M. Lothaire, Algebraic Combinatorics on Words, Cambridge Universi...

Exponential lower bounds for the number of words of uniform length avoiding a pattern
We study words on a finite alphabet avoiding a finite collection of patterns. Given a pattern p in which every letter that occurs in p occurs at least twice, we show that the nu...

Longest Alternating Subsequences in Pattern-Restricted Permutations
We determine the limiting distributions of the longest alternating subsequence for pattern-restricted permutations in which the pattern is any one of the six patterns of length th...
