We say that two given subset of permutations $T$ and $T'$ are $st$-Wilf-equivalent if the joint distributions of all statistics in st over the sets of $T$-avoiding permutations $S_n(T)$ and $T'$-avoiding permutations $S_n(T')$ are the same. The main purpose of this paper is the $(cr,nes)$-Wilf-equivalence classes for all single pattern in $S_3$, where cr and nes denote respectively the statistics number of crossings and nestings. One of the main tools that we use is the bijection $\\Theta$ from the set of 321-avoiding permutations $S_n(321)$ to the set of 132-avoiding permutations $S_n(132)$ which was exhibited by Elizalde and Pak. They proved that the bijection $\\Theta$ preserves the number of fixed points and excedances. Since the given formulation of $\\Theta$ is not direct, we show that it can be defined directly by a recursive formula. Then, we prove that it also preserves the number of crossings. These properties of the bijection $\\Theta$ leads to an unexpected result related to the q,p-Catalan numbers defined by Randrianarivony.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-08-11T07:31:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A19", "05A20", "05A05" ], "keywords": [ "restricted permutations", "avoiding permutations", "joint distributions", "wilf-equivalence classes", "p-catalan numbers" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
