A map is a graph equipped with a circular order of edges around each vertex. These circular orders represent local planar embeddings. The genus of a map is the minimal genus of an...
In 1906 Axel Thue showed how to construct an infinite non-repetitive (or squarefree) word on an alphabet of size 3. Since then this result has been rediscovered many times and ext...
Several authors have examined connections between permutations which avoid 132, continued fractions, and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. In this paper we prove analogues...
Knowing the excluded minors for a minor-closed matroid property provides a useful alternative characterization of that property. It has been shown in [R. Hall, J. Oxley, C. Semple...
Let In() denote the number of involutions in the symmetric group Sn which avoid the permutation . We say that two permutations , Sj may be exchanged if for every n, k, and order...
