Simulations: The longest increasing subsequence (LIS) of random separable permutations


Let LIS(n) denote the length of the longest increasing subsequence of a uniform random separable permutations with a given size n. I carried out simulations of LIS(n) for n=10^k for k=1,..,8 with more than 10^7 samples for each k. The obtained data suggests that LIS(n) grows at the rate n^alpha for alpha=0.815..., and LIS(n) / n^alpha approaches a limiting random variable with mean approximate 0.663...

This agrees with a recent conjecture by Adhikari, Borga, Budzinski, Da Silva, and Sénizuerges in their paper on the longest increasing subsequence of permutations sampled from the Brownian permuton.
