Abstract

A permutation is called layered if it consists of the disjoint union of substrings (layers) so that the entries decrease within each layer, and increase between the layers. We find the generating function for the number of permutations on nn letters avoiding (1,2,3)(1,2,3) and a layered permutation on kk letters. In the most interesting case of two layers, the generating function depends only on kk and is expressed via Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.
