We use this method to describe West-3-stack-sortable permutations, that is, permutations that are sorted by three passes through a stack. We also show how the method can be applied to the bubble-sort operator. The method requires the use of mesh patterns introduced by Br\\\"and\\'en and Claesson (2011), as well as a new type of generalized pattern we call a decorated pattern.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2012-03-10T10:07:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "permutation patterns", "describing", "bubble-sort operator", "mesh patterns" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1110.1219U" } } }
