We consider a large family of equivalence relations on permutations in Sn that generalise those discovered by Knuth in his study of the Robinson-Schensted correspondence. In our most general setting, two permutations are equivalent if one can be obtained from the other by a sequence of pattern-replacing moves of prescribed form; however, we limit our focus to patterns where two elements are transposed, subject to the constraint that a third element of a suitable type be in a suitable position. For various instances of the problem, we compute the number of equivalence classes, determine how many n-permutations are equivalent to the identity permutation, or characterise this equivalence class. Although our results feature familiar integer sequences (e.g., Catalan, Fibonacci, and Tribonacci numbers) and special classes of permutations (layered, connected, and 123-avoiding), some of the sequences that arise appear to be new.
In this paper, we compute and demonstrate the equivalence of the joint distribution of the first letter and descent statistics on six avoidance classes of permutations corresponding to two patterns of length four. This distribution is in turn shown t
The independence polynomial of a graph is the generating polynomial for the number of independent sets of each size. Two graphs are said to be textit{independence equivalent} if they have equivalent independence polynomials. We extend previous work b
A system $mathcal M$ of equivalence relations on a set $E$ is emph{semirigid} if only the identity and constant functions preserve all members of $mathcal M$. We construct semirigid systems of three equivalence relations. Our construction leads to th
We extend some recent results about bounded invariant equivalence relations and invariant subgroups of definable groups: we show that type-definability and smoothness are equivalent conditions in a wider class of relations than heretofore considered,
