When $P$ is a finite poset, we define its Wiener index as the Wiener index of the graph of its Hasse diagram. In this paper, we find exact expressions for the Wiener indices of the distributive lattices of order ideals in minuscule posets. For infinite families of such posets, we also provide results on the asymptotic distribution of the distance between two random order ideals.","PeriodicalId":511494,"journal":{"name":"Electron. J.

In this paper, we study permutation groups and present a way to compute the Demazure product of two permutations using only their one-line notation and not relying on reduced words. The algorithm starts from their usual product and then applies a new operator, which we call the hopping operator. We also give an analogous result for the group of signed permutations.","PeriodicalId":511494,"journal":{"name":"Electron. J.

We present a discrete variation of the Littlewood-Offord problem where we estimate the number of subsums that are $(0,1)$-vectors.

The rank of a graph $G$ is the rank of its adjacency matrix $A(G)$ and the corank of $G$ is the rank of $A(G)+I$.","PeriodicalId":511494,"journal":{"name":"Electron. J.

In each round, a vertex $u$ is presented to the player independently and uniformly at random. The player then adaptively selects a vertex $v$, and adds the edge $uv$ to the graph. For a fixed monotone graph property, the objective of the player is to force the graph to satisfy this property with high probability in as few rounds as possible. \u0000In this paper, we introduce a natural generalization of this game in which $k$ random vertices $u_1, ldots, u_k$ are presented to the player in each round. She needs to select one of the presented vertices and connect to any vertex she wants. We focus on the following three monotone properties: minimum degree at least $ell$, the existence of a perfect matching, and the existence of a Hamiltonian cycle.","PeriodicalId":511494,"journal":{"name":"Electron.

We introduce, on this structure, a shifted version of the crystal reflection operators, which coincide with the restrictions of the shifted Schützenberger involution to any primed interval of two adjacent letters. Unlike type $A$ Young tableau crystals, these operators do not realize an action of the symmetric group on the shifted tableau crystal since the braid relations do not need to hold. Following a similar approach as Halacheva, we exhibit a natural internal action of the cactus group on this crystal, realized by the restrictions of the shifted Schützenberger involution to all primed intervals of the underlying crystal alphabet, containing, in particular, the aforesaid action of the shifted crystal reflection operator analogues.","PeriodicalId":511494,"journal":{"name":"Electron.
