The index of the last row whose first entry is the row number in a standard Young tableau.

The first part of an integer composition.

The number of initial rises of a Dyck path. In other words, this is the height of the first peak of $D$.

The position of the first return of a Dyck path.

The first entry of the permutation. This can be described as 1 plus the number of occurrences of the vincular pattern ([2,1], {(0,0),(0,1),(0,2)}), i.e., the first column is shaded, see [1]. This statistic is related to the number of deficiencies [[St000703]] as follows: consider the arc diagram of a permutation $\pi$ of $n$, together with its rotations, obtained by conjugating with the long cycle $(1,\dots,n)$. Drawing the labels $1$ to $n$ in this order on a circle, and the arcs $(i, \pi(i))$ as straight lines, the rotation of $\pi$ is obtained by replacing each number $i$ by $(i\bmod n) +1$. Then, $\pi(1)-1$ is the number of rotations of $\pi$ where the arc $(1, \pi(1))$ is a deficiency. In particular, if $O(\pi)$ is the orbit of rotations of $\pi$, then the number of deficiencies of $\pi$ equals $$\frac{1}{|O(\pi)|}\sum_{\sigma\in O(\pi)} (\sigma(1)-1).$$

The number of leading ones in a binary word.

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 number of minimal vertex covers of a graph. A '''vertex cover''' of a graph $G$ is a subset $S$ of the vertices of $G$ such that each edge of $G$ contains at least one vertex of $S$. A vertex cover is minimal if it contains the least possible number of vertices. This is also the leading coefficient of the clique polynomial of the complement of $G$. This is also the number of independent sets of maximal cardinality of $G$.

The last part of an integer composition.

The number of left-to-right-minima of a permutation. An integer $\sigma_i$ in the one-line notation of a permutation $\sigma$ is a left-to-right-minimum if there does not exist a j < i such that $\sigma_j < \sigma_i$.
