Two permutation classes enumerated by the central binomial coefficients

Abstract

We define a map between the set of permutations that avoid either the four patterns 3214,3241,4213,42313214,3241,4213,4231 or 3124,3142,4123,41323124,3142,4123,4132, and the set of Dyck prefixes. This map, when restricted to either of the two classes, turns out to be a bijection that allows us to determine some notable features of these permutations, such as the distribution of the statistics "number of ascents", "number of left-to-right maxima", "first element", and "position of the maximum element"
