We focus on certain integer partitions and their weighted analogues with conditions on the interval of their parts. The q-double series turn out to be more fruitful as generating functions for our sequences. We give explicit formulas for the number of such partitions, we derive identities involving integer partitions, and we prove that some of our weighted sequences are positive. Furthermore, we state two curious conjectures on the coefficients of two q-double series.

We provide a criterion to show that a graph is identified by its multivariate graph spectrum. Haemers conjectured that almost all graphs are identified by their spectra. Our approach suggests that almost all graphs are identified by their generalized block Laplacian spectra.

Arslan, Altoum, and Zaarour introduced an inversion statistic for generalized symmetric groups [5]. In this work, we study the distribution of this statistic over colored permutations, including derangements and involutions. By establishing a bijective correspondence between colored permutations and colored Lehmer codes, we develop a unified framework for enumerating colored Mahonian numbers and analyzing their combinatorial properties. We derive explicit formulas, recurrence relations, and generating functions for the number of inversions in these families, extending classical results to the colored setting. We conclude with explicit expressions for inversions in colored derangements and involutions.

In this work, we introduce a new partition statistic, named block index, and explore its relationship with other well-known statistics, including Dyson's crank. We delve into the combinatorial significance of the block index, shedding light on its role in revealing the more intricate structure of certain recently discovered partition identities.

This is the first paper which discusses minimum numbers of “region” colors for knots, while minimum numbers of arc colors are well-studied. In this paper, we consider minimum numbers of colors of knots for Dehn colorings. In particular, we will show that for any odd prime number p and any Dehn p-colorable knot K, the minimum number of colors for K is at least . Moreover, we will define the -palette graph for a set of colors. The -palette graphs are quite useful to give candidates of sets of colors which might realize a nontrivially Dehn p-colored diagram. In Appendix, we also prove that for Dehn 5-colorable knot, the minimum number of colors is 4.

In his article [J. Comb. Theory Ser.

In this article, we show the above result due to Tutte can be extended to a rotor R of order if the subgraph of G induced by all those edges of G which are not in R satisfies certain conditions. Also, we provide a new method for generating infinitely many non-isomorphic T-equivalent pairs of graphs.

Double cosets appear in many contexts in combinatorics, for example in the enumeration of certain objects up to symmetries. Double cosets in a quotient of the form have an inverse, and can be their own inverse. In this paper we present various formulas enumerating double cosets, and in particular self-inverse double cosets. We study double cosets in classical groups, especially the symmetric groups and the general linear groups, explaining how to obtain the information on their conjugacy classes required to apply our formulas. We also consider double cosets of parabolic subgroups of Coxeter groups of type B.

Motivated by recent work on (re)mixed Eulerian numbers, we provide a combinatorial interpretation of a subfamily of the remixed Eulerian numbers introduced by Nadeau and Tewari. More specifically, we show that these numbers can be realized as the generating polynomials of permutations with respect to the statistics of left-to-right minima, right-to-left minima, descents, and the mixed major index. Our results generalize both the bi-Stirling-Eulerian polynomials of Carlitz-Scoville and the Stirling-Euler-Mahonian polynomials of Butler.
