Conjugating cyclic \(n\)-color compositions

MacMahon extensively studied integer compositions, including the notion of conjugation. More recently, Agarwal introduced \(n\)-color compositions and their cyclic versions were considered by Gibson, Gray, and Wang. In this paper, we develop and study a conjugation rule for cyclic \(n\)-color compositions. Also, for fixed \(\ell\), we identify and enumerate the subset of self-conjugate compositions of \(\ell\), as well as establish a bijection between these and the set of cyclic regular compositions of \(\ell\) with only odd parts.

Abstract

MacMahon extensively studied integer compositions, including the notion of conjugation. More recently, Agarwal introduced \(n\)-color compositions and their cyclic versions were considered by Gibson, Gray, and Wang. In this paper, we develop and study a conjugation rule for cyclic \(n\)-color compositions. Also, for fixed \(\ell\), we identify and enumerate the subset of self-conjugate compositions of \(\ell\), as well as establish a bijection between these and the set of cyclic regular compositions of \(\ell\) with only odd parts.
