    • Source: Baxter permutation
    • In combinatorial mathematics, a Baxter permutation is a permutation



      σ


      S

      n




      {\displaystyle \sigma \in S_{n}}

      which satisfies the following generalized pattern avoidance property:

      There are no indices



      i
      <
      j
      <
      k


      {\displaystyle i
      such that



      σ
      (
      j
      +
      1
      )
      <
      σ
      (
      i
      )
      <
      σ
      (
      k
      )
      <
      σ
      (
      j
      )


      {\displaystyle \sigma (j+1)<\sigma (i)<\sigma (k)<\sigma (j)}

      or



      σ
      (
      j
      )
      <
      σ
      (
      k
      )
      <
      σ
      (
      i
      )
      <
      σ
      (
      j
      +
      1
      )


      {\displaystyle \sigma (j)<\sigma (k)<\sigma (i)<\sigma (j+1)}

      .
      Equivalently, using the notation for vincular patterns, a Baxter permutation is one that avoids the two dashed patterns



      2

      41

      3


      {\displaystyle 2-41-3}

      and



      3

      14

      2


      {\displaystyle 3-14-2}

      .
      For example, the permutation



      σ
      =
      2413


      {\displaystyle \sigma =2413}

      in




      S

      4




      {\displaystyle S_{4}}

      (written in one-line notation) is not a Baxter permutation because, taking




      i
      =
      1


      {\displaystyle i=1}

      ,



      j
      =
      2


      {\displaystyle j=2}

      and



      k
      =
      4


      {\displaystyle k=4}

      , this permutation violates the first condition.
      These permutations were introduced by Glen E. Baxter in the context of mathematical analysis.


      Enumeration


      For



      n
      =
      1
      ,
      2
      ,
      3
      ,



      {\displaystyle n=1,2,3,\ldots }

      , the number




      a

      n




      {\displaystyle a_{n}}

      of Baxter permutations of length



      n


      {\displaystyle n}

      is

      1, 2, 6, 22, 92, 422, 2074, 10754, 58202, 326240, 1882960, 11140560, 67329992, 414499438, 2593341586, 16458756586,...
      This is sequence OEIS: A001181 in the OEIS. In general,




      a

      n




      {\displaystyle a_{n}}

      has the following formula:





      a

      n



      =




      k
      =
      1


      n








      (



      n
      +
      1


      k

      1



      )






      (



      n
      +
      1

      k


      )






      (



      n

      k
      +

      )








      (



      n
      +
      1

      )






      (



      n
      +
      1

      2


      )






      .


      {\displaystyle a_{n}\,=\,\sum _{k=1}^{n}{\frac {{\binom {n+1}{k-1}}{\binom {n+1}{k}}{\binom {n+1}{k+1}}}{{\binom {n+1}{1}}{\binom {n+1}{2}}}}.}


      In fact, this formula is graded by the number of descents in the permutations, i.e., there are










      (



      n
      +
      1


      k

      1



      )






      (

      k


      )

      n
      +

      +

      )








      (



      n

      )






      (

      )








      {\displaystyle {\frac {{\binom {n+1}{k-1}}{\binom {n+1}{k}}{\binom {n+1}{k+1}}}{{\binom {n+1}{1}}{\binom {n+1}{2}}}}}

      Baxter permutations are related to Hopf algebras, planar graphs, and tilings.


      Motivation: commuting functions


      Baxter introduced Baxter permutations while studying the fixed points of commuting continuous functions. In particular, if



      f


      {\displaystyle f}

      and



      g


      {\displaystyle g}

      are continuous functions from the interval



      [
      0
      ,
      1
      ]


      {\displaystyle [0,1]}

      to itself such that



      f
      (
      g
      (
      x
      )
      )
      =
      g
      (
      f
      (
      x
      )
      )


      {\displaystyle f(g(x))=g(f(x))}

      for all



      x


      {\displaystyle x}

      , and



      f
      (
      g
      (
      x
      )
      )
      =
      x


      {\displaystyle f(g(x))=x}

      for finitely many




      x


      {\displaystyle x}

      in



      [
      0
      ,
      1
      ]


      {\displaystyle [0,1]}

      , then:

      the number of these fixed points is odd;
      if the fixed points are




      x

      x

      k

      {\displaystyle x_{1}
      then



      f


      {\displaystyle f}

      and



      g


      {\displaystyle g}

      act as mutually-inverse permutations on

      k


      }


      {\displaystyle \{x_{2},x_{4},\ldots ,x_{2k}\}}

      ;

      the permutation induced by



      f


      {\displaystyle f}

      on



      {

      {\displaystyle \{x_{1},x_{3},\ldots ,x_{2k+1}\}}

      uniquely determines the permutation induced by




      f


      {\displaystyle f}

      on

      {\displaystyle \{1,2,\ldots ,k+1\}}

      is a Baxter permutation.
