Smallest rectangle inscribing Young tableaux

45 Views Asked by At

I am interested in knowing the name of any of this characteristics of a Young tableaux (Ferrer's diagram): Smallest rectangle that contains it or the area of such a rectangle. For instance:

Partition (3,2,2,1,1):

1

1 1 1

1 1 1 1 1

is contained in rectangle 3x5 as per 3 is its longest part and is formed by 5 parts. Consequently, corresponding rectangle's area is 15.

Some literature about it, normally related to integer partitions classification, would be also much appreciated.

Thanks!
