Abstract

Let s,t be any numbers in {0,1} and let π=π1π2πm be any word. We say that i[m1] is an (s,t)-parity-rise if πis(mod2), πi+1t(mod2), and πi<πi+1. We denote the number of occurrences of (s,t)-parity-rises in π by rises,t(π). Also, we denote the total sizes of the (s,t)-parity-rises in π by sizes,t(π), that is, sizes,t(π)=πi<πi+1(πi+1πi). A composition π=π1π2πm of a positive integer n is an ordered collection of one or more positive integers whose sum is n. The number of summands, namely m, is called the number of parts of π. In this paper, by using tools of linear algebra, we found the generating function that counts the number of all compositions of n with m parts according to the statistics rises,t and sizes,t, for all s,t.
