3 AVOIDING PERMUTATIONS AND THE NARAYANA NUMBERS 531 Theorem 21 For i r 1, wn(r i = N(i,r ( n r+i, where N(i,r = ( i r 1 is the Narayana number 1 i( i r Proof Algorithm A shows φ(π S i,r (132 and Algorithms B, C, and D show the map φ is ( n r+i -to-one function To define a map φ : W i n (r S i,r (132 for a permutation π = a 1 a n = I 1 I n i Wn(r i with the descent set {j 1,,j n i }, we apply the following algorithm to π and the output φ(π becomes an 132-avoiding permutation with r descents If I j is a long ascending run and I k the next long ascending run, and if I j I k does not contain a 3412 pattern, then we choose the first entry of I k as d j for j = 1,2,,n i 1 Otherwise, choose the last element from each of the long ascending runs Let {d 1,d 2,,d k,,d n i } be the chosen entries Notice that d n i = a n We now delete d k s according to the following algorithm: Algorithm A STEP 1 Delete d n i = a n STEP 2 For each k = 1,2,,n i 1, (a Subtract 1 from each entry before d k, and subtract 1 from each entry greater than d k after d k (b If there exist a s before d k and a t after d k with a s = a t, then replace a t by the number d k 1 Then remove d k from the ascending run Now we show that φ(π S i,r (132 and that the map is a ( n r+i -to-one function Since we remove n i entries from π, clearly, φ(π is a permutation on i letters Moreover, for each k = 1,2,,n i 1, the permutation after Step 2 is still 132-avoiding Notice that after the one run of Step 2, every entry is distinct If (b of Step 2 does not occur, then clearly 132-avoiding is preserved For the case of (b, every number appearing between d k 2 and d k 1 is less than d k 2, which means that it preserves 132-avoiding after Step (b Notice also that all length 1 ascending runs in π are removed by the algorithm So ignore those runs and only consider the long ascending runs Recall that the first long ascending run is the first basic ascending run If the next ascending run is a basic ascending run, then removing the last entry in the first one does not change the descent But if it is a nonbasic ascending run, which means that there is no 3412-pattern in the concatenation of the two, then removing the first element by Step 2 deletes the descent So the next ascending run is merged to the first one, which becomes a basic ascending run with a bigger size As we proceed with the algorithm, the number of basic ascending runs does not change Thus when the algorithm is completed, we obtain a permutation on i letters with r descents In other words, φ(π S i,r (132
4 532 YOUNGJA PARK AND SEUNGKYUNG PARK Secondly, we show that the map is a ( n r+i -to-one function Let φ(π = σ = b 1 b i S i,r (132 and the descent set of σ be Des(σ = {j 1,,j r },j r = i We will insert r entries into σ to obtain σ = c 1 c i+r S i+r,r (132, where Des(σ = {j 1 +1,,j r +r} Let σ = I 1 I r, where I k s are ascending runs and let a k,lk be the last entry of I k Algorithm B STEP 1 For each k = r 1,r 2,,1, (a Insert the number a k,lk +1 into I k as its last entry (b Add 1 to each entry in I j including a k,lk +1 for 1 j k, and add 1 to each entry in I j, j > k, that is greater than or equal to a k,lk +2 We denote by the output of this step (c If an entry a s,i s in I s is the same as an entry a t,i t in I t with k s < t, then replace a t,i t by a s,1 s 1, where a s,1 s is the first entry of I s Repeat this process until all entries in I j, j k, become distinct STEP 2 Attach the unused number from [i+r] = {1,2,,i+r} to the end of the last ascending run I r, which becomes I r = c i+r The output σ = c 1 c i+r = I1 I r is a permutation on i + r letters that avoids 132-pattern Before Step 2, since every number between 1 and the largest element a r,lr of Ir is used from the construction, the unused number must be greater than a r,lr Thus attaching the unused one to the end of Ir does not produce a descent Therefore, the number of descents of σ is still r By (a, (b of Step1 and Step 2, each Ij 2,1 j r By (c of Step 1, each Ij,1 j r, has at least two elements less than the first element of I j 1 So it has r basic ascending runs Therefore, σ has τ r pattern and σ avoids τ r+1 Now we insert m(0 m n i r numbers into the basic ascending runs of σ = I1 Ir from right to left, creating m descents, to obtain σ in Algorithm C Algorithm C For each m of 0,1,,n i r, find all possible positions that are spaces betweena k,2k anda k,lk fromeachik withrepetitionallowedfork = 1,2,,r 1 For k = r, include one more space, the last space Suppose that we select t k positions for each k = r,r 1,,1 and k t k = m with t k 0 We insert t k numbers into the selected positions Ik For each m = 0,1,,n i r and for k = r,r 1,,1, STEP 1 For the chosen t k positions from the possible spaces from I k, add the number t k to each entry in σ that is greater than or equal to a k,1k STEP 2 Insert t k numbers of a k,1k + (t k 1,,a k,1k + 1,a k,1k into the positions selected from right to left, keeping this decreasing order
5 AVOIDING PERMUTATIONS AND THE NARAYANA NUMBERS 533 Thus there are (( ( i r+1 m = i r+m m ways to get σ Finally, we construct σ from σ to complete the proof We insert n i r m numbers in the fronts of Ik s with repetition allowed from right to left in such a way that every time we place a number a new descent must be created Among r +m ascending runs in σ, there are r basic ascending runs and we denote them by I k = a k,1k a k,2k a k,lk for 1 k r Define l k as l k = a k 1,1k 1 a k,1k t k 1 fork = 2,3,,r, andl 1 = (i+r+m+1 a 1,11 Suppose that u k numbers h 1,,h uk are placed in front of the kth basic ascending run Ik and that k u k = n i r m Then these numbers should satisfy the conditions a k,2k +u k j h j a k,2k +u k j+l k 1 and h 1 > h 2 > > h uk Suppose that we insert u k numbers in front of Ik for each k = 1,2,,r and let r k=1 u k = n i r m with u k 0 For each of k = r,r 1,,1, Algorithm D STEP 1 Find l k for all k = r,r 1,,1 STEP 2 For k = r,r 1,,1, (a For j = u k,u k 1,,1, find the range for h j (b Find all possible sequences with h 1 > h 2 > > h uk 1 > h uk, then place each of such sequences in front of I k in the order of h uk,h uk 1,,h 2,h 1 from right to left (c Each time h j is inserted, add 1 to each entry of σ that is greater than or equal to h j After completing Algorithms B through D, we obtain a permutation σ on n letters and by our construction, it is clear that σ Wn(r i Since k l k = i+r, the total number of ways of ( inserting n i r m numbers into ( i+r i+r positions with repetition allowed is n i r m = ( n m 1 i+r 1 By Vandermonde s, we get n i r m=0 ( i r +m m ( n m 1 i+r 1 = Thus the map φ is a ( n r+i -to-one function Therefore, wn i(r = N(i,r( ( n r+i n r i = 1 i i( i r r 1 ( n r+i n r i ( n r+i Example 22 Apply Algorithm A to the following permutations π to obtain φ(π π = = φ( π = = φ( Example 23 Clearly, S 2,2 (132 = {21} We apply Algorithm B through D to find all π s on n = 6 letters whose image is φ(π = σ = 21 Since 0 m n i r = = 2, we consider each of these three cases:
6 534 YOUNGJA PARK AND SEUNGKYUNG PARK First, apply AlgorithmBto σ = 2 1to obtain σ : σ = = σ Now, if m = 2, apply Algorithm C to σ to get σ : σ = = σ We have found a permutation in W6(2 2 so we do not need to apply Algorithm D For m = 1, by Algorithm C, σ = = σ By Algorithm D, to insert in front of the first basic ascending run 45, 5 h 1 6 since l 1 = i+r+m+1 a 1,11 = = 2 Similarly, to insert in front of the second basic ascending run 23, 3 h 1 4 since l 2 = a 1,11 a 2,12 0 = 4 2 = 2 Thus we will have four outputs of Algorithm D σ = = σ, or σ = = σ, σ = = σ, σ = = σ Finally, for m = 0, we have to insert n i r m = = 2 numbers according to Algorithm D into two positions of σ = in front of I 1 = 34(a, I 2 = 12(b, or one of each(c First, we find l k s: l 1 = 2 and l 2 = 2 Case (a: 5 h 1 6 and 4 h Case (b: 3 h 1 4 and 2 h Case (C: for inserting 2 h 1 3 in front of I 2 = 12, then for 5 h 1 6 in front of the first run, one at a time Thus we have W6 2 (2 = {563421,645231,546231,564231,563241,564312,564213,563214, , , , , , , } Corollary 24 i wn(r i = r=1 i ( n r+i N(i,r = N(n,i+1 n r i r=1
