Restricted permutations and Chebyshev polynomials

Abstract

We study generating functions for the number of permutations in \SSn\SS_n subject to two restrictions. One of the restrictions belongs to \SS3\SS_3, while the other to \SSk\SS_k. It turns out that in a large variety of cases the answer can be expressed via Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.
