Counting the Number of Site Swap Juggling Patterns with Respect to Particular Ceilings

Time: 4:00PM
Date: Mon 4th February 2008
Location: Mathematical Sciences Seminar Room [map]

Abstract: Site swap is a mathematical notation used by jugglers
to communicate, create and study complex juggling
patterns. Determining the number of possible site swap
juggling patterns, with respect to certain limiting
parameters such as number of balls etc., is a problem
that has been much studied and solved by many
mathematicians. However, when the patterns have a
throw height restriction (ceiling) the problem becomes
difficult and is, in general, still open. In this talk
we derive some formulae for computing the number of
possible juggling patterns with respect to certain
ceiling types.
