This gives a refinement of some previously studied statistics, most notably one by Noonan. The formula is also shown to enumerate a family of classes of Dyck paths and Standard Young Tableaux, and a bijection is given between the corresponding classes of these two families of objects. Finally, the results obtained are used to solve an optimization problem for a certain card game.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-12-23T22:03:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05A19" ], "keywords": [ "standard young tableaux", "pattern avoiding permutations", "dyck paths", "optimization problem", "card game" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0912.4747G" } } }
