Operators of equivalent sorting power . . .

We study permutations sortable by sorting operators which are compositions of stack sorting operators S and reverse operators R. Theorem (Bouvel, Guibert 2012) There are as many permutations of Sn sortable by S ◦ S as permutations of Sn sortable by S ◦ R ◦ S, and many permutation statistics are equidistributed across these two sets.

Theorem (Bouvel, Guibert 2012) There are as many permutations of Sn sortable by S ◦ S as permutations of Sn sortable by S ◦ R ◦ S, and many permutation statistics are equidistributed across these two sets. Theorem (Albert, Bouvel 2013) For any operator A which is a composition of operators S and R, there are as many permutations of Sn sortable by S ◦ A as permutations of Sn sortable by S ◦ R ◦ A. Moreover, many permutation statistics are equidistributed across these two sets. as suggested by the computer experiments of O. Guibert.

Definition: {π, π′} and {τ, τ ′} are Wilf-equivalent when Av(π, π′) and Av(τ, τ ′) are enumerated by the same sequence. Specializing, our general result gives for instance: Proposition The sets of patterns {231, 31254} and {132, 42351} are Wilf-equivalent. Moreover, the common generating function of the classes Av(231, 31254) and Av(132, 42351) is t3−t2−2t+1

Canonical trees and preimages under S

Lemma (Bousquet-M´ elou 2000) For any permutation π in the image of S, there is a unique canonical tree Tπ whose post-order reading is π. Example: For π = 5 1 8 2 3 6 4 7 9, Tπ =

9 8 5 1 7 6 3 2 4.

Common generating function when Av(231, π)

P

← → Av(132, P(π))

Definition: F1(t) = 1 and Fn+1(t) =

1 1−tFn(t).

Theorem For π ∈ Av(231) such that Av(231, π)

P

← → Av(132, P(π)), denoting n = |π|, the generating function of Av(231, π) is Fn. Theorem {231, π} and {132, P(π)} are all Wilf-equivalent when |π| = |π′| = n and π and π′ are of the form described earlier. Moreover, the generating function of Av(231, π) is Fn.
