The classical 1991 result by Brightwell and Winkler states that the number of linear extensions of a poset is #P-complete. We extend this result to posets with certain restrictions. First, we prove that the number of linear extension for posets of height two is #P-complete. Furthermore, we prove that this holds for incidence posets of graphs. Finally, we prove that the number of linear extensions for posets of dimension two is #P-complete.

  1. Ordinal pattern probabilities for symmetric random walks

    math.CO 2019-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Ordinal pattern probabilities for symmetric random walks equal combinatorial counts in affine Weyl groups for uniform steps and level-function products for Laplace steps.

    A systematic decomposition produces symbolic integral formulas for counting barrier-synchronized process executions, enabling generic and specialized uniform random sampling algorithms on control graphs.
