Shellable simplicial complex and switching rook polynomial of frame polyominoes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let mathcalP be a frame polyomino, a new kind of non-simple polyomino. In this paper we study the h-polynomial of K[mathcalP] in terms of the switching rook polynomial of mathcalP using the shellable simplicial complex Delta(mathcalP) attached to mathcalP. We provide a suitable shelling order for Delta(mathcalP) in relation to a new combinatorial object, which we call a step of a facet, and we define a bijection between the set of the canonical configuration of k rooks in mathcalP and the facets of Delta(mathcalP) with k steps. Finally we use a famous combinatorial result, due to McMullen and Walkup, about the h-vector of a shellable simplicial complex to interpret the h-polynomial of K[mathcalP] as the switching rook polynomial of mathcalP.
