Restricted lonesum matrices

Abstract

Lonesum matrices are matrices that are uniquely reconstructible from their row and column sum vectors. These matrices are enumerated by the poly-Bernoulli numbers that are related to the multiple zeta values and have a rich literature in number theory. Combinatorially, lonesum matrices are in bijection with many other combinatorial objects: several permutation classes, other matrix classes, acyclic orientations in graphs etc. Motivated of these facts, we study in this paper lonesum matrices with restriction on the number of columns and rows of the same type.
