The first is the total number of symmetric peaks in a set partition of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ blocks, and the second one is the total number of non-symmetric peaks in a set partition of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ blocks. We represent these results in two ways. First by using the theory of generating functions, and the second by using combinatorial tools.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-01-03T11:46:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "set partition", "non-symmetric peaks", "counting symmetric", "total number", "distinct values" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
