Comtet introduced the notion of indecomposable permutations in 1972. A permutation is indecomposable if and only if it has no proper prefix which is itself a permutation. Indecomposable permutations were studied in the literature in various…

We provide a simple injective proof that the number of 132-avoiding permutations with a unique longest increasing subsequence is at least as large as the number of 132-avoiding permutations without a unique longest increasing subsequence.

We study permutations in $S_n$ that simultaneously avoid the pattern $132$ and satisfy the adjacency bound $|\pi_{i+1} - \pi_i| \leq m$ for all $i$, denoting their number by $A_n^{(m)}$. This combination of a global pattern restriction and…

The lattice of partitions of a set and its d-divisible generalization have been much studied for their combinatorial, topological, and representation-theoretic properties. An ordered set partition is a set partition where the subsets are…

The number of inversion sequences avoiding two patterns $101$ and $102$ is known to be the same as the number of permutations avoiding three patterns $2341$, $2431$, and $3241$. This sequence also counts the number of Schr\"{o}der paths…

Despite the fact that the field of pattern avoiding permutations has been skyrocketing over the last two decades, there are very few exhaustive generating algorithms for such classes of permutations. In this paper we introduce the notions…

Let $n$ and $\ell$ be positive integers. Recent papers by Kreher, Stinson and Veitch have explored variants of the problem of ordering the points in a triple system (such as a Steiner triple system, directed triple system or Mendelsohn…

In recent years, there has been increasing interest in consecutive pattern avoidance in permutations. In this paper, we introduce two approaches to counting permutations that avoid a set of prescribed patterns consecutively. These algoritms…

A set partition $\sigma$ of $[n]=\{1,\cdots ,n\}$ contains another set partition $\omega$ if a standardized restriction of $\sigma$ to a subset $S\subseteq[n]$ is equivalent to $\omega$. Otherwise, $\sigma$ avoids $\omega$. Sagan and Goyt…

Recently, Xia introduced a deterministic variation $\phi_{\sigma}$ of Defant and Kravitz's stack-sorting maps for set partitions and showed that any set partition $p$ is sorted by $\phi^{N(p)}_{aba}$, where $N(p)$ is the number of distinct…

A partition of the positive integers into sets $A$ and $B$ {\em avoids} a set $S\subset\N$ if no two distinct elements in the same part have a sum in $S$. If the partition is unique, $S$ is {\em uniquely avoidable.} For any irrational…

Arrow patterns were introduced by Berman and Tenner as a generalization of vincular patterns. They observed that arrow patterns have the potential to bridge the divide between a permutation's cycle notation and its one-line notation; in…

We give an improved algorithm for counting the number of $1324$-avoiding permutations, resulting in 5 further terms of the generating function. We analyse the known coefficients and find compelling evidence that unlike other classical…

In this note we study the {\em asymptotic popularity}, that is, the limit probability to find a given consecutive pattern at a random position in a random permutation in the eighteen classes of permutations avoiding at least two length 3…

We initiate a general approach for the fast enumeration of permutations with a prescribed number of occurrences of `forbidden' patterns, that seems to indicate that the enumerating sequence is always P-recursive. We illustrate the method…

The Stanley-Wilf limit of the pattern 1324 is known to lie between 10.271 and 13.5. We obtain lower bounds on this limit by encoding permutations as walks in directed graphs: building a permutation by successive insertion of maxima…

There are several versions of permutation pattern avoidance that have arisen in the literature, and some known examples of two different types of pattern avoidance coinciding. In this paper, we examine barred patterns and vincular patterns.…

We develop a new, powerful method for counting elements in a multiset. As a first application, we use this algorithm to study the number of occurrences of patterns in a permutation. For patterns of length 3 there are two Wilf classes, and…

We present some results on the proportion of permutations of length $n$ containing certain mesh patterns as $n$ grows large, and give exact enumeration results in some cases. In particular, we focus on mesh patterns where entire rows and…

Babson and Steingr\'{\i}msson introduced generalized permutation patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. We consider n-permutations that avoid the generalized pattern…
