The reversal length of a permutation. A reversal in a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$ is a reversal of a subsequence of the form $\operatorname{reversal}_{i,j}(\pi) = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_{i-1},\pi_j,\pi_{j-1},\ldots,\pi_{i+1},\pi_i,\pi_{j+1},\ldots,\pi_n]$ for $1 \leq i < j \leq n$. This statistic is then given by the minimal number of reversals needed to sort a permutation. The reversal distance between two permutations plays an important role in studying DNA structures.

The number of peaks of a Dyck path.

The global dimension of the LNakayama algebra associated to a Dyck path. An n-LNakayama algebra is a quiver algebra with a directed line as a connected quiver with $n$ points for $n \geq 2$. Number those points from the left to the right by $0,1,\ldots,n-1$. The algebra is then uniquely determined by the dimension $c_i$ of the projective indecomposable modules at point $i$. Such algebras are then uniquely determined by lists of the form $[c_0,c_1,...,c_{n-1}]$ with the conditions: $c_{n-1}=1$ and $c_i -1 \leq c_{i+1}$ for all $i$. The number of such algebras is then the $n-1$-st Catalan number $C_{n-1}$. One can get also an interpretation with Dyck paths by associating the top boundary of the Auslander-Reiten quiver (which is a Dyck path) to those algebras. Example: [3,4,3,3,2,1] corresponds to the Dyck path [1,1,0,1,1,0,0,1,0,0]. Conjecture: that there is an explicit bijection between $n$-LNakayama algebras with global dimension bounded by $m$ and Dyck paths with height at most $m$. Examples: * For $m=2$, the number of Dyck paths with global dimension at most $m$ starts for $n \geq 2$ with 1,2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192. * For $m=3$, the number of Dyck paths with global dimension at most $m$ starts for $n \geq 2$ with 1, 2, 5, 13, 34, 89, 233, 610, 1597, 4181, 10946, 28657, 75025, 196418.

The finitistic dominant dimension of a Dyck path. To every LNakayama algebra there is a corresponding Dyck path, see also [[St000684]]. We associate the finitistic dominant dimension of the algebra to the corresponding Dyck path.
