Cooper, we study the expected number of occurrences of a given permutation pattern $q$ in permutations that avoid another given pattern $r$. In some cases, we find the pattern that occurs least often, (resp. most often) in all $r$-avoiding permutations. We also prove a few exact enumeration formulae, some of which are surprising.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-10-07T19:53:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05A16" ], "keywords": [ "occurrences", "exact enumeration formulae", "avoiding permutations", "expected number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0910.1343B" } } }
