Generalizations and Variants of the Largest Non-crossing Matching   Problem in Random Bipartite Graphs
  We are interested in the statistics of the length of the longest increasing subsequence of 2-rowed lexicographically sorted arrays chosen according to distinct families of distributions D = (D_n)_n, and when n goes to infinity. This framework encompasses well studied problems such as the so called Longest Increasing Subsequence problem, the Longest Common Subsequence problem, problems concerning directed bond percolation models, among others. We define several natural families of distinct distributions and characterize the asymptotic behavior of the expected length of a longest increasing subsequence chosen according to them. In particular, we consider generalizations to d-rowed arrays as well as symmetry restricted two-rowed arrays.
