The cycle descent number of a permutation. Let $(i_1,\ldots,i_k)$ be a cycle of a permutation $\pi$ such that $i_1$ is its smallest element. A **cycle descent** of $(i_1,\ldots,i_k)$ is an $i_a$ for $1 \leq a < k$ such that $i_a > i_{a+1}$. The **cycle descent set** of $\pi$ is then the set of descents in all the cycles of $\pi$, and the **cycle descent number** is its cardinality.

The number of weak exceedences of a permutation that are also mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length $3$. Given a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$, this statistic counts the number of position $j$ such that $\pi_j \geq j$ and there exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi_i > \pi_j > \pi_k$. See also [[St000213]] and [[St000119]].

The number of occurrences of the arrow pattern 1-2 with an arrow from 1 to 2 in a permutation. Let $\nu$ be a (partial) permutation of $[k]$ with $m$ letters together with dashes between some of its letters. An occurrence of $\nu$ in a permutation $\tau$ is a subsequence $\tau_{a_1},\dots,\tau_{a_m}$ such that $a_i + 1 = a_{i+1}$ whenever there is a dash between the $i$-th and the $(i+1)$-st letter of $\nu$, which is order isomorphic to $\nu$. Thus, $\nu$ is a vincular pattern, except that it is not required to be a permutation. An arrow pattern of size $k$ consists of such a generalized vincular pattern $\nu$ and arrows $b_1\to c_1, b_2\to c_2,\dots$, such that precisely the numbers $1,\dots,k$ appear in the vincular pattern and the arrows. Let $\Phi$ be the map [[Mp00087]]. Let $\tau$ be a permutation and $\sigma = \Phi(\tau)$. Then a subsequence $w = (x_{a_1},\dots,x_{a_m})$ of $\tau$ is an occurrence of the arrow pattern if $w$ is an occurrence of $\nu$, for each arrow $b\to c$ we have $\sigma(x_b) = x_c$ and $x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_k$.

The number of valleys of a Dyck path not on the x-axis. That is, the number of valleys of nonminimal height. This corresponds to the number of -1's in an inclusion of Dyck paths into alternating sign matrices.

The number of mid points of decreasing subsequences of length 3 in a permutation. For a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is the number of indices $j$ such that there exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi(i) > \pi(j) > \pi(k)$. In other words, this is the number of indices that are neither left-to-right maxima nor right-to-left minima. This statistic can also be expressed as the number of occurrences of the mesh pattern ([3,2,1], {(0,2),(0,3),(2,0),(3,0)}): the shading fixes the first and the last element of the decreasing subsequence. See also [[St000119]].

The number of mid points of increasing subsequences of length 3 in a permutation. For a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is the number of indices $j$ such that there exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi(i) < \pi(j) < \pi(k)$. The generating function is given by [1].

The number of entries equal to -1 in an alternating sign matrix. The number of nonzero entries, [[St000890]] is twice this number plus the dimension of the matrix.

The number of internal nodes of a binary tree. That is, the total number of nodes of the tree minus [[St000203]]. A counting formula for the total number of internal nodes across all binary trees of size $n$ is given in [1]. This is equivalent to the number of internal triangles in all triangulations of an $(n+1)$-gon.

The number of occurrences of the pattern 13-2. See [[Permutations/#Pattern-avoiding_permutations]] for the definition of the pattern $13\!\!-\!\!2$.

The number of occurrences of the pattern 31-2. See [[Permutations/#Pattern-avoiding_permutations]] for the definition of the pattern $31\!\!-\!\!2$.
