Geometric grid classes of permutations

From MaRDI portal
Publication:2849033




Abstract: A geometric grid class consists of those permutations that can be drawn on a specified set of line segments of slope pm1 arranged in a rectangular pattern governed by a matrix. Using a mixture of geometric and language theoretic methods, we prove that such classes are specified by finite sets of forbidden permutations, are partially well ordered, and have rational generating functions. Furthermore, we show that these properties are inherited by the subclasses (under permutation involvement) of such classes, and establish the basic lattice theoretic properties of the collection of all such subclasses.
