Let A3(n, d, w) denote the maximum cardinality of a ternary code with length n, minimum distance d, and constant Hamming weight w. Methods for proving upper and lower bounds on A3...
It is shown that there are 2n n − n−1 m=0 2n−m−1 2m m permutations which are the union of an increasing sequence and a decreasing sequence. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classi...
We show how to count tilings of Aztec diamonds and hexagons with defects using determinants. In several cases these determinants can be evaluated in closed form. In particular, we...
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...

New conjectures are proposed on the numbers of FPL configurations pertaining to certain types of link patterns. Making use of the Razumov and Stroganov Ansatz, these conjectures a...
