First-Fit is a greedy algorithm for partitioning the elements of a poset into chains. Let $textrm{FF}(w,Q)$ be the maximum number of chains that First-Fit uses on a $Q$-free poset of width $w$. A result due to Bosek, Krawczyk, and Matecki states that $textrm{FF}(w,Q)$ is finite when $Q$ has width at most $2$. We describe a family of posets $mathcal{Q}$ and show that the following dichotomy holds: if $Qinmathcal{Q}$, then $textrm{FF}(w,Q) le 2^{c(log w)^2}$ for some constant $c$ depending only on $Q$, and if $Q otinmathcal{Q}$, then $textrm{FF}(w,Q) ge 2^w - 1$.
For an integer $mge 2$, a partition $lambda=(lambda_1,lambda_2,ldots)$ is called $m$-falling, a notion introduced by Keith, if the least nonnegative residues mod $m$ of $lambda_i$s form a nonincreasing sequence. We extend a bijection originally due t
This article is part of an ongoing investigation of the combinatorics of $q,t$-Catalan numbers $textrm{Cat}_n(q,t)$. We develop a structure theory for integer partitions based on the partition statistics dinv, deficit, and minimum triangle height. Ou
A generalized crank ($k$-crank) for $k$-colored partitions is introduced. Following the work of Andrews-Lewis and Ji-Zhao, we derive two results for this newly defined $k$-crank. Namely, we first obtain some inequalities between the $k$-crank counts
We study two families of probability measures on integer partitions, which are Schur measures with parameters tuned in such a way that the edge fluctuations are characterized by a critical exponent different from the generic $1/3$. We find that the f
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 $mathbb{R}^d$ can
