Out of the parking lot and into the forest: Parking functions, bond lattices, and unimodal forests
Rota introduced the bond lattice of a graph in [11]. It's a sublattice of the set partition lattice. For certain graphs, such as triangulation graphs, it's a sublattice of the important and oft studied noncrossing partition lattice. Parking functions are another central object in algebraic combinatorics. Stanley made the connection between them by defining a bijection from maximal chains of the noncrossing partition lattice to parking functions [14]. Motivated by Stanley's bijection, we study the maximal chains in the bond lattices of triangulation graphs.
The number of maximal chains in the bond lattice of a triangulation graph is the number of ordered cycle decompositions [1], as well as being the number of rooted unimodal forests [2]. In this paper, we find a recursive bijection between these maximal chains and rooted unimodal forests, based on a simpler recursion than that given in [1].
期刊介绍:
Discrete Mathematics provides a common forum for significant research in many areas of discrete mathematics and combinatorics. Among the fields covered by Discrete Mathematics are graph and hypergraph theory, enumeration, coding theory, block designs, the combinatorics of partially ordered sets, extremal set theory, matroid theory, algebraic combinatorics, discrete geometry, matrices, and discrete probability theory.
Items in the journal include research articles (Contributions or Notes, depending on length) and survey/expository articles (Perspectives). Efforts are made to process the submission of Notes (short articles) quickly. The Perspectives section features expository articles accessible to a broad audience that cast new light or present unifying points of view on well-known or insufficiently-known topics.
