Burstein–Han–Kitaev–Zhang shape-Wilf-equivalence conjecture
Burstein–Han–Kitaev–Zhang shape-Wilf-equivalence conjecture
Let . Consider the two partially ordered patterns depicted below: the first has root label , lower labels (with the intermediate lower vertices understood from the displayed pattern), and the second has root label , lower labels (with the intermediate lower vertices understood from the displayed pattern). Write for shape-Wilf-equivalence of partially ordered patterns.
Burstein–Han–Kitaev–Zhang conjecture. The two displayed partially ordered patterns are shape-Wilf-equivalent:
This conjecture concerns shape-Wilf-equivalence, a refinement of Wilf-equivalence for partially ordered patterns. The supplied text identifies it as Conjecture 10 proposed by Burstein, Han, Kitaev, and Zhang, but gives no evidence of a resolution.
