Generating trees for 0021-avoiding inversion sequences and a conjecture of Hong and Li

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

An inversion sequence of length n is a word e = e0 · · · en which satisfies, for each i ∈ [n] = {0, 1, …, n}, the inequality 0 ≤ ei ≤ i. In this paper, by generating tree tools, an explicit formula is found for the generating function for the number of inversion sequences of length n that avoid 0021, which resolves the conjecture of Hong and Li posed in the recent paper [Electron. J. Combin. 29 (2022) #4.37].
