The length of the longest pattern of the form k 1 2...(k-1).

The height of the tree associated to a permutation. A permutation can be mapped to a rooted tree with vertices $\{0,1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and root $0$ in the following way. Entries of the permutations are inserted one after the other, each child is larger than its parent and the children are in strict order from left to right. Details of the construction are found in [1]. The statistic is given by the height of this tree. See also [[St000325]] for the width of this tree.

The number of left-to-right-maxima of a permutation. An integer $\sigma_i$ in the one-line notation of a permutation $\sigma$ is a '''left-to-right-maximum''' if there does not exist a $j < i$ such that $\sigma_j > \sigma_i$. This is also the number of weak exceedences of a permutation that are not mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length 3, see [1] for more on the later description.

The width of the tree associated to a permutation. A permutation can be mapped to a rooted tree with vertices $\{0,1,2,\ldots,n\}$ and root $0$ in the following way. Entries of the permutations are inserted one after the other, each child is larger than its parent and the children are in strict order from left to right. Details of the construction are found in [1]. The width of the tree is given by the number of leaves of this tree. Note that, due to the construction of this tree, the width of the tree is always one more than the number of descents [[St000021]]. This also matches the number of runs in a permutation [[St000470]]. See also [[St000308]] for the height of this tree.

The number of runs in a permutation. A run in a permutation is an inclusion-wise maximal increasing substring, i.e., a contiguous subsequence. This is the same as the number of descents plus 1.

The number of ascents of a standard tableau. Entry $i$ of a standard Young tableau is an '''ascent''' if $i+1$ appears to the right or above $i$ in the tableau (with respect to the English notation for tableaux).

The number of bumps occurring when Schensted-inserting the letter 1 of a permutation. For a given permutation $\pi$, this is the index of the row containing $\pi^{-1}(1)$ of the recording tableau of $\pi$ (obtained by [[Mp00070]]).

The number of descents of a permutation. This can be described as an occurrence of the vincular mesh pattern ([2,1], {(1,0),(1,1),(1,2)}), i.e., the middle column is shaded, see [3].

The number of stack-sorts needed to sort a permutation. A permutation is (West) $t$-stack sortable if it is sortable using $t$ stacks in series. Let $W_t(n,k)$ be the number of permutations of size $n$ with $k$ descents which are $t$-stack sortable. Then the polynomials $W_{n,t}(x) = \sum_{k=0}^n W_t(n,k)x^k$ are symmetric and unimodal. We have $W_{n,1}(x) = A_n(x)$, the Eulerian polynomials. One can show that $W_{n,1}(x)$ and $W_{n,2}(x)$ are real-rooted. Precisely the permutations that avoid the pattern $231$ have statistic at most $1$, see [3]. These are counted by $\frac{1}{n+1}\binom{2n}{n}$ ([[OEIS:A000108]]). Precisely the permutations that avoid the pattern $2341$ and the barred pattern $3\bar 5241$ have statistic at most $2$, see [4]. These are counted by $\frac{2(3n)!}{(n+1)!(2n+1)!}$ ([[OEIS:A000139]]).

The number of exceedances (also excedences) of a permutation. This is defined as $exc(\sigma) = \#\{ i : \sigma(i) > i \}$. It is known that the number of exceedances is equidistributed with the number of descents, and that the bistatistic $(exc,den)$ is [[Permutations/Descents-Major#Euler-Mahonian_statistics|Euler-Mahonian]]. Here, $den$ is the Denert index of a permutation, see [[St000156]].
