On mixed insertion, symmetry, and shifted Young tableaux. (English) Zbl 0697.05005
The author generalizes Schensted insertion to mixed insertion and uses the results to answer a number of questions about the Hall-Littlewood symmetric functions. A complete statement of results would be very long and very technical.
