Restricted even permutations and Chebyshev polynomials

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study generating functions for the number of even (odd) permutations on n letters avoiding 132 and an arbitrary permutation τ on k letters, or containing τ exactly once. In several interesting cases the generating function depends only on k and is expressed via Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.
