We show that the half-perimeter generating functions for the number of wicketed and gated Ferrers diagrams is algebraic. Furthermore, the generating function of the wicketed Ferrers diagrams is closely related to the generating function of the Catalan numbers. The methodology of the experimentation, as well as the proof, is the umbral transfer matrix method.

The Umbral Transfer-Matrix Method. I. Foundations

The foundations for the Umbral Transfer-Matrix Method are laid, based on Gian-Carlo Rota's seminal notion of the “umbra” as a linear functional on a vector space of formal power series, when it is implemented on a computer.

Area Distribution and Scaling Function for Punctured Polygons

This work rigorously analyse the effect of a finite number of punctures on the limiting area distribution in a uniform ensemble, where punctured polygons with equal perimeter have the same probability of occurrence.
