The maximum of the number of descents and the number of inverse descents. This is, the maximum of [[St000021]] and [[St000354]].

The biclique partition number of a graph. The biclique partition number of a graph is the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs so that each edge belongs to exactly one of them. A theorem of Graham and Pollak [1] asserts that the complete graph $K_n$ has biclique partition number $n - 1$.

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]].

The number of upper interactions of a Dyck path. An ''upper interaction'' in a Dyck path is defined as the occurrence of a factor '''$A^{k}$$B^{k}$''' for any '''${k ≥ 1}$''', where '''${A}$''' is a down-step and '''${B}$''' is a up-step.

The lec statistic, the sum of the inversion numbers of the hook factors of a permutation. For a permutation $\sigma = p \tau_{1} \tau_{2} \cdots \tau_{k}$ in its hook factorization, [1] defines $$\textrm{lec} \, \sigma = \sum_{1 \leq i \leq k} \textrm{inv} \, \tau_{i} \, ,$$ where $\textrm{inv} \, \tau_{i}$ is the number of inversions of $\tau_{i}$.

The number of recoils of a permutation. A '''recoil''', or '''inverse descent''' of a permutation $\pi$ is a value $i$ such that $i+1$ appears to the left of $i$ in $\pi_1,\pi_2,\dots,\pi_n$. In other words, this is the number of descents of the inverse permutation. It can be also be described as the number of occurrences of the mesh pattern $([2,1], {(0,1),(1,1),(2,1)})$, i.e., the middle row is shaded.

The Ulam distance of a permutation to the identity permutation. This is, for a permutation $\pi$ of $n$, given by $n$ minus the length of the longest increasing subsequence of $\pi^{-1}$. In other words, this statistic plus [[St000062]] equals $n$.

The number of (upper) dissectors of a poset.

The number of points of the poset minus the width of the poset.

The acyclic chromatic index of a graph. An acyclic edge coloring of a graph is a proper colouring of the edges of a graph such that the union of the edges colored with any two given colours is a forest. The smallest number of colours such that such a colouring exists is the acyclic chromatic index.
