Locally uniform random permutations with large increasing subsequences

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We investigate the maximal size of an increasing subset among points randomly sampled from certain probability densities. Kerov and Vershik's celebrated result states that the largest increasing subset among N uniformly random points on [0,1]2 has size asymptotically 2sqrtN. More generally, the order Theta(sqrtN) still holds if the sampling density is continuous. In this paper we exhibit two sufficient conditions on the density to obtain a growth rate equivalent to any given power of N greater than sqrtN, up to logarithmic factors. Our proofs use methods of slicing the unit square into appropriate grids, and investigating sampled points appearing in each box.
