The number of \bar{2}413\bar{5}-avoiding permutations

Combinatorics 2011-11-03 v3

Abstract

We answer a question of R. J. Mathar and confirm that the counting sequence for 2ˉ4135ˉ\bar{2}413\bar{5}-avoiding permutations is the Invert transform of the Bell numbers. The proof relies on a simple decomposition of these permutations and the known fact that 2ˉ413\bar{2}413-avoiding permutations are counted by the Bell numbers.
