On Lattice Paths with Marked Patterns: Generating Functions and Multivariate Gaussian Distribution

Authors: Andrei Asinowski and Cyril Banderier

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 159, 31st International Conference on Probabilistic, Combinatorial and Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms (AofA 2020)

Abstract
In this article, we analyse the joint distribution of some given set of patterns in fundamental combinatorial structures such as words and random walks (directed lattice paths on ℤ²). Our method relies on a vectorial generalization of the classical kernel method, and on a matricial generalization of the autocorrelation polynomial (thus extending the univariate case of Guibas and Odlyzko). This gives access to the multivariate generating functions, for walks, meanders (walks constrained to be above the x-axis), and excursions (meanders constrained to end on the x-axis). We then demonstrate the power of our methods by obtaining closed-form expressions for an infinite family of models, in terms of simple combinatorial quantities. Finally, we prove that the joint distribution of the patterns in walks/bridges/excursions/meanders satisfies a multivariate Gaussian limit law.

Analytic Combinatorics of Lattice Paths with Forbidden Patterns: Asymptotic Aspects and Borges's Theorem

Authors: Andrei Asinowski, Axel Bacher, Cyril Banderier, and Bernhard Gittenberger

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 110, 29th International Conference on Probabilistic, Combinatorial and Asymptotic Methods for the Analysis of Algorithms (AofA 2018)

Abstract
In a companion article dedicated to the enumeration aspects, we showed how to obtain closed form formulas for the generating functions of walks, bridges, meanders, and excursions avoiding any fixed word (a pattern p). The autocorrelation polynomial of this forbidden pattern p (as introduced by Guibas and Odlyzko in 1981, in the context of regular expressions) plays a crucial role. In this article, we get the asymptotics of these walks. We also introduce a trivariate generating function (length, final altitude, number of occurrences of p), for which we derive a closed form. We prove that the number of occurrences of p is normally distributed: This is what Flajolet and Sedgewick call an instance of Borges's theorem. We thus extend and refine the study by Banderier and Flajolet in 2002 on lattice paths, and we unify several dozens of articles which investigated patterns like peaks, valleys, humps, etc., in Dyck and Motzkin paths. Our approach relies on methods of analytic combinatorics, and on a matricial generalization of the kernel method. The situation is much more involved than in the Banderier-Flajolet work: forbidden patterns lead to a wider zoology of asymptotic behaviours, and we classify them according to the geometry of a Newton polygon associated with these constrained walks, and we analyse what are the universal phenomena common to all these models of lattice paths avoiding a pattern.

Suballowable sequences of permutations

Authors: Andrei Asinowski

Published in: Dagstuhl Seminar Proceedings, Volume 6201, Combinatorial and Algorithmic Foundations of Pattern and Association Discovery (2006)

Abstract
We discuss a notion of "allowable sequence of permutations" and show a few combinatorial results and geometric applications.
