Talk:Superpattern

Example needs work

I'm interested in, but not familiar with, this subject. The example is muddled and confusing and does not make it clear what a superpattern is—it would be great if someone could improve it. —Doug Bell ^talk 05:16, 3 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have attempted to clarify the example. I don't actually know much about superpatterns, but the example was reasonably clear to me, except the language was muddy, so I tried to clear it up. Hope it helps. Yishan 23:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changed the way the example was explained. Hopefully, a lot easier to understand now! (Albert Antony 14:15, 17 July 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Who came up with super-patterns? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.175.149 (talk) 21:57, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

Here is a rather thick paper I found on the subject. Since I'm noob I won't throw it onto the main page, but here is the link. http://www.combinatorics.org/Volume_9/PDF/v9i2r20.pdf It seems that in the study of combinatorics the term pattern has a special meaning, of which super-patterns are a subtopic, but currently I don't think Wikipedia has an article relating to this topic in the combinatorial sense.

Completely rewrote

I just completely rewrote the article to improve clarity, terminology, links to other parts of Wikipedia, etc. Anyone who has citations for the statements in the sections on bounds, please add them! --Joel B. Lewis (talk) 18:40, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with permutation pattern?

On the talk page for permutation pattern, Vince Vatter suggested merging this page with that one. Are there any thoughts or objections? --Joel B. Lewis (talk) 12:24, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just split it out again. I think there's enough material for a separate article. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:23, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
