Weak ascent sequences and related combinatorial structures

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper we introduce {em weak ascent sequences}, a class of number sequences that properly contains ascent sequences. We show how these sequences uniquely encode each of the following objects: permutations avoiding a particular length-4 bivincular pattern; upper-triangular binary matrices that satisfy a column-adjacency rule; factorial posets that are weakly (3+1)-free. We also show how weak ascent sequences are related to a class of pattern avoiding inversion sequences that has been a topic of recent research by Auli and Elizalde. Finally, we consider the problem of enumerating these new sequences and give a closed form expression for the number of weak ascent sequences having a prescribed length and number of weak ascents.
