Parallel rank of two sandpile models of signed integer partitions (Q2375483)

Summary: We introduce the concept of a fundamental sequence for a finite graded poset \(X\) which is also a discrete dynamical model. The fundamental sequence concept is a refinement of the concept of parallel convergence time for these models. We compute the parallel convergence time and the fundamental sequence when \(X\) is the finite lattice \(P(n, r)\) of all the signed integer partitions \(a_r, \dots, a_1\), \(b_1, \dots, b_{n-r}\) such that \(r \geq a_r \geq \cdots \geq a_1 \geq 0 \geq b_1 \geq \cdots \geq b_{n-r} \geq -(n - r)\), where \(n \geq r \geq 0\), and when \(X\) is the sublattice \(P(n, d, r)\) of all the signed integer partitions of \(P(n, r)\) having exactly \(d\) nonzero parts.
