Counting colored planar maps: algebraicity results (2009)

Bernardi, Olivier, Bousquet-Mélou, Mireille

We address the enumeration of properly q-colored planar maps, or more precisely, the enumeration of rooted planar maps M weighted by their chromatic polynomial \chi_M(q) and counted by the number of...

A Bijection between well-labelled positive paths and matchings (2009)

Bernardi, Olivier, Duplantier, Bertrand, Nadeau, Philippe

A well-labelled positive path of size n is a pair (p,\sigma) made of a word p=p_1p_2...p_{n-1} on the alphabet {-1, 0,+1} such that the sum of the letters of any prefix is non-negative, together with...

Enumerating simplicial decompositions of surfaces with boundaries (2009)

Bernardi, Olivier, Rué, Juanjo

It is well-known that the triangulations of the disc with $n+2$ vertices on its boundary are counted by the $n$th Catalan number $C(n)=\frac{1}{n+1}{2n \choose n}$. This paper deals with the...

Solution to a combinatorial puzzle arising from Mayer's theory of cluster integrals (2008)

Bernardi, Olivier

Mayer's theory of cluster integrals allows one to write the partition function of a gas model as a generating function of weighted graphs. Recently, Labelle, Leroux and Ducharme have studied the...

On the growth rate of minor-closed classes of graphs (2007)

Bernardi, Olivier, Noy, Marc, Welsh, Dominic

A minor-closed class of graphs is a set of labelled graphs which is closed under isomorphism and under taking minors. For a minor-closed class $C$, we let $c_n$ be the number of graphs in $C$ which...

Catalan's intervals and realizers of triangulations (2007)

Bernardi, Olivier, Bonichon, Nicolas

The Stanley lattice, Tamari lattice and Kreweras lattice are three remarkable orders defined on the set of Catalan objects of a given size. These lattices are ordered by inclusion: the Stanley...

Tutte polynomial, subgraphs, orientations and sandpile model: new connections via embeddings (2006)

Bernardi, Olivier

For any graph G with n edges, the spanning subgraphs and the orientations of G are both counted by the evaluation T_G(2,2)=2^n of its Tutte polynomial. We define a bijection $\Phi$ between spanning...

A characterization of the Tutte polynomial via combinatorial embeddings (2006)

Bijective counting of Kreweras walks and loopless triangulations (2006)

Bernardi, Olivier

We consider lattice walks in the plane starting at the origin, remaining in the first quadrant and made of West, South and North-East steps. In 1965, Germain Kreweras discovered a remarkably simple...

Bijective counting of tree-rooted maps and shuffles of parenthesis systems (2006)

Bernardi, Olivier

The number of tree-rooted maps, that is, rooted planar maps with a distinguished spanning tree, of size $n$ is C(n)C(n+1) where C(n)=binomial(2n,n)/(n+1) is the nth Catalan number. We present a (long...
