DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CANT2020/65/
 ">Garden of Eden partitions for Bulgarian and Austrian solitaire</a>\nby J
 ames Sellers (University of Minnesota\, Duluth) as part of Combinatorial a
 nd additive number theory (CANT 2021)\n\n\nAbstract\nIn the early 1980s\, 
 Martin Gardner popularized the game called Bulgarian Solitaire through \nh
 is writings in Scientific American.  After a brief introduction to the gam
 e\, we will discuss a few results \nproven about Bulgarian Solitaire aroun
 d the time of the appearance of Gardner's article \nand then quickly turn 
 to the question of finding an exact formula for the number of Garden of Ed
 en \npartitions that arise in this game.   I will then introduce a related
  game known as Austrian Solitaire \nand consider a similar question about 
 the Garden of Eden states that appear.   \nThe talk will be completely sel
 f-contained and should be accessible to a wide ranging audience.  \nThis i
 s joint work with Brian Hopkins and Robson da Silva.\n
