Biography

Dr. Dylan Heuer is an instructor for the Mathematics Department at Milwaukee School of Engineering. In 2021, he completed his Ph.D. in mathematics at North Dakota State University. Heuer's research area is in combinatorics and deals with various generalizations of permutations and alternating sign matrices. Learning and using Sagemath has been an integral part of his research. Heuer loves teaching mathematics, and has had the opportunity to teach a wide variety of courses ranging from Intermediate Algebra to Calculus to upper-level Combinatorics.

Partial permutation and alternating sign matrix polytopes

SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics

Heuer, D.; Striker, J.

We define and study a new family of polytopes which are formed as convex hulls of partial alternating sign matrices. We determine the inequality descriptions, number of facets, and face lattices of these polytopes. We also study partial permutohedra that we show arise naturally as projections of these polytopes. We enumerate facets and also characterize the face lattices of partial permutohedra in terms of chains in the Boolean lattice.

Chained permutations and alternating sign matrices—Inspired by three-person chess

Discrete Mathematics

Heuer D.; Morrow, C.; Noteboom, B. ; S. Solhjem; Striker, J.; Vorland, C.

We define and enumerate two new two-parameter permutation families, namely, placements of a maximum number of non-attacking rooks on chained-together chessboards, in either a circular or linear configuration. The linear case with corresponds to standard permutations of , and the circular case with and corresponds to a three-person chessboard.

Partial Alternating Sign Matrix Bijections and Dynamics

Electronic Journal of Combinatorics

Heuer, D.

2024-04-05

We investigate analogues of alternating sign matrices, called partial alternating sign matrices. We prove bijections between these matrices and several other combinatorial objects. We use an analogue of Wieland's gyration on fully-packed loops, which we relate to the study of toggles and order ideals. Finally, we show that rowmotion on order ideals of a certain poset and gyration on partial fully-packed loop configurations are in equivariant bijection.
