International audience We obtain a very simple formula for the generating function of bipartite (resp. quasi-bipartite) planar maps with boundaries (holes) of prescribed lengths, which generalizes certain expressions obtained by Eynard in a book to appear. The formula is derived from a bijection due to Bouttier, Di Francesco and Guitter combined with a process (reminiscent of a construction of Pitman) of aggregating connected components of a forest into a single tree. Nous obtenons une formule très simple pour la série génératrice des cartes biparties ayant des bords (trous) de tailles fixées, généralisant certaines expressions obtenues par Eynard dans un livre à paraître. Nous obtenons la formule à partir d'une bijection due à Bouttier, Di Francesco et Guitter, combinée avec un processus (dans l'esprit d'une construction due à Pitman) pour agréger les composantes connexes d'une forêt en un unique arbre.

We revisit the problem of counting the number of copies of a fixed graph in a random graph or multigraph, including the case of constrained degrees. Our approach relies heavily on analytic combinatorics and on the notion of patchwork to describe the possible overlapping of copies.This paper is a version, extended to include proofs, of the paper with the same title to be presented at the Eurocomb 2017 meeting.

We obtain a very simple formula for the generating function of bipartite (resp. quasi-bipartite) planar maps with boundaries (holes) of prescribed lengths, which generalizes certain expressions obtained by Eynard in a book to appear. The formula is derived from a bijection due to Bouttier, Di Francesco and Guitter combined with a process (reminiscent of a construction of Pitman) of aggregating connected components of a forest into a single tree. The formula naturally extends to $p$-constellations and quasi-$p$-constellations with boundaries (the case $p=2$ corresponding to bipartite maps).
