Schur-positivity of differences of augmented staircase diagrams

The Schur functions {s_lambda} and ubiquitous Littlewood-Richardson coefficients are instrumental in describing representation theory, symmetric functions,and even certain areas of algebraic geometry. Determining when two skew diagrams D₁, D₂ have the same skew Schur function or determining when the...
