“…Ferrers graphs/tableaux have a prominent place in the literature as they have been studied in relation to chromatic polynomials [4,23], Schubert varieties [21,18], hypergeometric series [33], permutation statistics [9,23], quantum mechanical operators [64], and inverse rook problems [27,21,18]. More generally, algebraic and combinatorial aspects of bipartite graphs have been studied in depth (see, e.g., [61,35,25,13,14,49,22] and the comprehensive monographs [36,66]).…”
