%0 Journal Article %T A generating algorithm for Ribbon Tableaux and Spin Polynomials %A Francois Descouens %J Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science %D 2007 %I Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science %X We describe a general algorithm for generating various families of ribbon tableaux and computing their spin polynomials. This algorithm is derived from a new matricial coding. An advantage of this new notation lies in the fact that it permits one to generate ribbon tableaux with skew shapes. %U http://www.dmtcs.org/dmtcs-ojs/index.php/dmtcs/article/view/648
