The permutation class Av(4213,2143)

Abstract

We determine the structure of permutations avoiding the patterns 4213 and 2143. Each such permutation consists of the skew sum of a sequence of plane trees, together with an increasing sequence of points above and an increasing sequence of points to its left. We use this characterisation to establish the generating function enumerating these permutations. We also investigate the properties of a typical large permutation in the class and prove that if a large permutation that avoids 4213 and 2143 is chosen uniformly at random, then it is more likely than not to avoid 2413 as well.

On nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits

Nut graphs are graphs whose adjacency matrix is singular with one-dimensional null space spanned by a vector with no zero entries. In a recent paper, Bašić, Fowler and Pisanski proved that the automorphism group of a nut graph has more orbits on the edge set than on the vertex set. They classified all orders for which a vertex-transitive nut graph with precisely two edge orbits exists, and conjectured that a nut graph with two vertex and three edge orbits exists for each non-prime order $n \ge 9$. Motivated by this conjecture, we introduce a very general construction that provides graphs with the desired symmetry properties, and we determine some sufficient spectral and structural conditions under which they are nut graphs. The construction yields infinite families of examples and confirms the above conjecture for all odd non-prime orders up to $2\,500$ and for at least $99.8$ percent of all odd non-prime orders up to a million. Finally, we present some additional interesting examples of nut graphs with two vertex and three edge orbits that do not arise from this construction.

On vertex-minimal simplicial maps to the sphere

For positive integers $n,d$, let $λ(n,d)$ be the minimal number of vertices of a triangulation of the $n$-sphere which admits a degree $d$ simplicial map onto the boundary of the $(n+1)$-simplex. We show that for $h=\lfloor\frac{n+1}2\rfloor$, the function $λ(n,d)^h$ has linear order of growth in $d$, answering a question of O. Musin. All triangulations we obtained are isomorphic to boundaries of convex polytopes in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$.
