Standard paths in another composition poset

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Bergeron, Bousquet-Melou and Dulucq enumerated paths in the Hasse diagram of the following poset: the underlying set is that of all compositions, and a composition mu covers another composition lambda if mu can be obtained from lambda by adding 1 to one of the parts of lambda, or by inserting a part of size 1 into lambda. We employ the methods they developed in order to study the same problem for the following poset: the underlying set is the same, but mu covers lambda if mu can be obtained from lambda by adding 1 to one of the parts of lambda, or by inserting a part of size 1 at the left or at the right of lambda. This poset is of interest because of its relation to non-commutative term orders.


Summary: \textit{F. Bergeron}, \textit{M. Bousquet-Mélou} and \textit{S. Duluq} [Ann. Sci. Math. Qué. 19, 139--151 (1995; Zbl 0845.06003)] enumerated paths in the Hasse diagram of the following poset: the underlying set is that of all compositions, and a composition \(\mu\) covers another composition \(\lambda\) if \(\mu\) can be obtained from \(\lambda\) by adding 1 to one of the parts of \(\lambda\), or by inserting a part of size 1 into \(\lambda\). We employ the methods they developed in order to study the same problem for the following poset, which is of interest because of its relation to non-commutative term orders: the underlying set is the same, but \(\mu\) covers \(\lambda\) if \(\mu\) can be obtained from \(\lambda\) by adding 1 to one of the parts of \(\lambda\), or by inserting a part of size 1 at the left or at the right of \(\lambda\). We calculate generating functions for standard paths of fixed width and for standard paths of height \(\leq 2\).
