Counting symmetric and non-symmetric peaks in a set partition

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to derive explicit formulas for two distinct values. The first is the total number of symmetric peaks in a set partition of [n] with exactly k blocks, and the second one is the total number of non-symmetric peaks in a set partition of [n] with exactly k blocks. We represent these results in two ways. First by using the theory of generating functions, and the second by using combinatorial tools.
