We study the restricted growth function associated with set partitions, and obtain exact formulas for the number of strong records with height one, the total of record heights over set of partitions, and the number of partitions with a given maximal height of strong records. We also extend some of these results to weak records.

Recently, Deutsch and Elizalde studied the largest and the smallest fixed points of permutations. Motivated by their work, we consider the analogous problems in set partitions. Let $A_{n,k}$ denote the number of partitions of ${1,2,dots, n+1}$ with the largest singleton ${k+1}$ for $0leq kleq n$. In this paper, several explicit formulas for $A_{n,k}$, involving a Dobinski-type analog, are obtained by algebraic and combinatorial methods, many combinatorial identities involving $A_{n,k}$ and Bell numbers are presented by operator methods, and congruence properties of $A_{n,k}$ are also investigated. It will been showed that the sequences $(A_{n+k,k})_{ngeq 0}$ and $(A_{n+k,k})_{kgeq 0}$ (mod $p$) are periodic for any prime $p$, and contain a string of $p-1$ consecutive zeroes. Moreover their minimum periods are conjectured to be $N_p=frac{p^p-1}{p-1}$ for any prime $p$.
We study statistics on ordered set partitions whose generating functions are related to $p,q$-Stirling numbers of the second kind. The main purpose of this paper is to provide bijective proofs of all the conjectures of stein (Arxiv:math.CO/0605670). Our basic idea is to encode ordered partitions by a kind of path diagrams and explore the rich combinatorial properties of the latter structure. We also give a partition version of MacMahons theorem on the equidistribution of the statistics inversion number and major index on words.
Recently, Deutsch and Elizalde studied the largest and the smallest fixed points of permutations. Motivated by their work, we consider the analogous problems in weighted set partitions. Let $A_{n,k}(mathbf{t})$ denote the total weight of partitions on $[n+1]$ with the largest singleton ${k+1}$. In this paper, explicit formulas for $A_{n,k}(mathbf{t})$ and many combinatorial identities involving $A_{n,k}(mathbf{t})$ are obtained by umbral operators and combinatorial methods. As applications, we investigate three special cases such as permutations, involutions and labeled forests. Particularly in the permutation case, we derive a surprising identity analogous to the Riordan identity related to tree enumerations, namely, begin{eqnarray*} sum_{k=0}^{n}binom{n}{k}D_{k+1}(n+1)^{n-k} &=& n^{n+1}, end{eqnarray*} where $D_{k}$ is the $k$-th derangement number or the number of permutations of ${1,2,dots, k}$ with no fixed points.
The symmetric group $mathfrak{S}_n$ acts on the polynomial ring $mathbb{Q}[mathbf{x}_n] = mathbb{Q}[x_1, dots, x_n]$ by variable permutation. The invariant ideal $I_n$ is the ideal generated by all $mathfrak{S}_n$-invariant polynomials with vanishing constant term. The quotient $R_n = frac{mathbb{Q}[mathbf{x}_n]}{I_n}$ is called the coinvariant algebra. The coinvariant algebra $R_n$ has received a great deal of study in algebraic and geometric combinatorics. We introduce a generalization $I_{n,k} subseteq mathbb{Q}[mathbf{x}_n]$ of the ideal $I_n$ indexed by two positive integers $k leq n$. The corresponding quotient $R_{n,k} := frac{mathbb{Q}[mathbf{x}_n]}{I_{n,k}}$ carries a graded action of $mathfrak{S}_n$ and specializes to $R_n$ when $k = n$. We generalize many of the nice properties of $R_n$ to $R_{n,k}$. In particular, we describe the Hilbert series of $R_{n,k}$, give extensions of the Artin and Garsia-Stanton monomial bases of $R_n$ to $R_{n,k}$, determine the reduced Grobner basis for $I_{n,k}$ with respect to the lexicographic monomial order, and describe the graded Frobenius series of $R_{n,k}$. Just as the combinatorics of $R_n$ are controlled by permutations in $mathfrak{S}_n$, we will show that the combinatorics of $R_{n,k}$ are controlled by ordered set partitions of ${1, 2, dots, n}$ with $k$ blocks. The {em Delta Conjecture} of Haglund, Remmel, and Wilson is a generalization of the Shuffle Conjecture in the theory of diagonal coinvariants. We will show that the graded Frobenius series of $R_{n,k}$ is (up to a minor twist) the $t = 0$ specialization of the combinatorial side of the Delta Conjecture. It remains an open problem to give a bigraded $mathfrak{S}_n$-module $V_{n,k}$ whose Frobenius image is even conjecturally equal to any of the expressions in the Delta Conjecture; our module $R_{n,k}$ solves this problem in the specialization $t = 0$.
A seminal theorem of Tverberg states that any set of $T(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Almost any collection of fewer points in $mathbb{R}^d$ cannot be so divided, and in these cases we ask if the set can nonetheless be $P(r,d)$--partitioned, i.e., split into $r$ subsets so that there exist $r$ points, one from each resulting convex hull, which form the vertex set of a prescribed convex $d$--polytope $P(r,d)$. Our main theorem shows that this is the case for any generic $T(r,2)-2$ points in the plane and any $rgeq 3$ when $P(r,2)=P_r$ is a regular $r$--gon, and moreover that $T(r,2)-2$ is tight. For higher dimensional polytopes and $r=r_1cdots r_k$, $r_i geq 3$, this generalizes to $T(r,2k)-2k$ generic points in $mathbb{R}^{2k}$ and orthogonal products $P(r,2k)=P_{r_1}times cdots times P_{r_k}$ of regular polygons, and likewise to $T(2r,2k+1)-(2k+1)$ points in $mathbb{R}^{2k+1}$ and the product polytopes $P(2r,2k+1)=P_{r_1}times cdots times P_{r_k} times P_2$. As with Tverbergs original theorem, our results admit topological generalizations when $r$ is a prime power, and, using the constraint method of Blagojevic, Frick, and Ziegler, allow for dimensionally restrict
