Permutations are usually enumerated by size, but new results can be found by enumerating them by inversions instead, in which case one must restrict one's attention to indecomposable permutations. In the style of the seminal paper by Simion…

We introduce the notion of minimal inversion sequences for a pattern $\rho$, which form the smallest set of inversion sequences whose avoidance is equivalent to the avoidance of $\rho$ for inversion sequences. We give a characterization of…

This paper considers the enumeration of ternary trees (i.e. rooted ordered trees in which each vertex has 0 or 3 children) avoiding a contiguous ternary tree pattern. We begin by finding recurrence relations for several simple tree…

We derive the algebraic generating function for inversion sequences avoiding the patterns $201$ and $210$ by describing a set of succession rules, converting them to a system of generating function equations with one catalytic variable, and…

Labeled infinite trees provide combinatorial interpretations for many integer sequences generated by nested recurrence relations. Typically, such sequences are monotone increasing. Several of these sequences also have straightforward…

A collection $B$ of patterns is called inversion monotone if $\mathrm{av}_n^k(B)$, the number of $B$-avoiding permutations of length $n$ with $k$ inversions, is weakly increasing in $n$ for any fixed $k$. In 2012, Claesson, Jel\'inek and…

Inspired by the definition of modified ascent sequences, we introduce a new class of integer sequences called revised ascent sequences. These sequences are defined as Cayley permutations where each entry is a leftmost occurrence if and only…

The systematic study of inversion sequences avoiding triples of relations was initiated by Martinez and Savage. For a triple $(\rho_1,\rho_2,\rho_3)\in\{<,>,\leq,\geq,=,\neq,-\}^3$, they introduced $\I_n(\rho_1,\rho_2,\rho_3)$ as the set of…

An ascent sequence is one consisting of non-negative integers in which the size of each letter is restricted by the number of ascents preceding it in the sequence. Ascent sequences have recently been shown to be related to (2+2)-free posets…

Vincular and covincular patterns are generalizations of classical patterns allowing restrictions on the indices and values of the occurrences in a permutation. In this paper we study the integer sequences arising as the enumerations of…

In this paper, we study pattern avoidance in weak ascent sequences, giving some results for patterns of length 3. This is an analogous study to one given by Duncan and Steingr\'imsson (2011) for ascent sequences. More precisely, we provide…

Ascent sequences were introduced by Bousquet-M\'{e}lou, Claesson, Dukes and Kitaev in their study of $(\bf{2+2})$-free posets. An ascent sequence of length $n$ is a nonnegative integer sequence $x=x_{1}x_{2}... x_{n}$ such that $x_{1}=0$…

Negative avoiding sequences of span $n$ are periodic sequences of elements from $\mathbb{Z}_k$ for some $k$ with the property that no $n$-tuple occurs more than once in a period and if an $n$-tuple does occur then its negative does not.…

The first problem addressed by this article is the enumeration of some families of pattern-avoiding inversion sequences. We solve some enumerative conjectures left open by the foundational work on the topics by Corteel et al., some of these…

Sequence pattern avoidance is a central topic in combinatorics. A sequence $s$ contains a sequence $u$ if some subsequence of $s$ can be changed into $u$ by a one-to-one renaming of its letters. If $s$ does not contain $u$, then $s$ avoids…

We study pattern avoidance by combinatorial objects other than permutations, namely by ordered partitions of an integer and by permutations of a multiset. In the former case we determine the generating function explicitly, for integer…
