We consider packing axis-aligned rectangles r1,..,r(n) in the unit square [0,1](2) such that a vertex of each rectangle n is a given point pi (i.e., r(i) is anchored at p(i)). We explore the combinatorial structure of all locally maximal configurations. When the given points are the lower-left corners of the rectangles, the number of maximal packings is shown to be at most 2(n)C(n), where C-n is the nth Catalan number. The number of maximal packings remains exponential in n when the points may be arbitrary corners of the rectangles. Both upper bounds are complemented with exponential lower bounds. Finally, we define the graph of all lower-left anchored maximal rectangle packings, where the edges correspond to elementary operations between two packings, which leads to an output sensitive algorithm for computing these packings.

We recall that unit interval parking functions of length n are a subset of parking functions in which every car parks in its preference or in the spot after its preference, and Fubini rankings of length n are rankings...

A subdivision of a rectangle into rectangular faces with horizontal and vertical line segments is called a rectangular drawing or floorplan. It has been an open problem to determine whether there exist a polynomial time algorithm for computing R(n). We affirmatively solve the problem, that is, we introduce an O(n(4))-time and O(n(3))-space algorithm for R(n). The algorithm is based on a recurrence for R(n), which is the main result of the paper. We also implement our algorithm and computed R(n) for n <= 3000.

A subfamily of k-trees, the k-path graphs generalize path graphs in the same way k-trees generalize trees. This paper presents a code for unlabeled k-path graphs. The effect of structural properties of the family on the code is investigated, leading to the solution of two problems: determining the exact number of unlabeled k-path graphs with n vertices and generating all elements of the family.

We consider the problem of computing the distance-dependent two-point function of general planar maps and hypermaps, i.e., the problem of counting such maps with two marked points at a prescribed distance. The maps considered here may have faces of arbitrarily large degree, which requires new bijections to be tackled. We obtain exact expressions for the following cases: general and bipartite maps counted by their number of edges, 3-hypermaps and 3-constellations counted by their number of dark faces, and finally general and bipartite maps counted by both their number of edges and their number of faces.

It was recently shown by van den Broeck at al. that the symmetric weighted first-order model counting problem (WFOMC) for sentences of two-variable logic FO2 is in polynomial time, while it is #P-1-complete for some FO3-sentences. We extend the result for FO2 in two independent directions: to sentences of the form phi Lambda for all x there exists(=1)y psi(x, y) with phi and psi formulated in FO2 and to sentences of the uniform one-dimensional fragment U-1 of FO, a recently introduced extension of two-variable logic with the capacity to deal with relation symbols of all arities. We note that the former generalizes the extension of FO2 with a functional relation symbol. We also identify a complete classification of first-order prefix classes according to whether WFOMC is in polynomial time or #P-1-complete.

Set partitions and partition lattices are well-known objects in combinatorics and play an important role as a search space in many applied problems including ensemble clustering. Searching for antichains in such lattices is similar to that of in Boolean lattices. Counting the number of antichains in Boolean lattices is known as the Dedekind problem. In spite of the known asymptotic for the latter problem, the behaviour of the number of antichains in partition lattices has been paid less attention. In this short paper, we show how to obtain a few first numbers of antichains and maximal antichains in the partition lattices with the help of concept lattices and provide the reader with some related heuristic bounds. The results of our computational experiments confirm the known values and are also recorded in the Online Encyclopaedia of Integer Sequences (see https://***/A358041).

In this paper, we prove results on enumerations of sets of Rota-Baxter words (RBWs) in a single generator and one unary operator. Examples of operators are integral operators, their generalization to Rota-Baxter operators, and Rota-Baxter type operators. RBWs are certain words formed by concatenating generators and images of words under the operators. Under suitable conditions, they form canonical bases of free Rota-Baxter type algebras which are studied recently in relation to renormalization in quantum field theory, combinatorics, number theory, and operads. Enumeration of a basis is often a first step to choosing a data representation in implementation. We settle the case of one generator and one operator, starting with the idempotent case (more precisely, the exponent 1 case). Some integer sequences related to these sets of RBWs are known and connected to other sequences from combinatorics, such as the Catalan numbers, and others are new. The recurrences satisfied by the generating series of these sequences prompt us to discover an efficient algorithm to enumerate the canonical basis of certain free Rota-Baxter algebras.
