The number of crossings of a permutation. A crossing of a permutation $\pi$ is given by a pair $(i,j)$ such that either $i < j \leq \pi(i) \leq \pi(j)$ or $\pi(i) < \pi(j) < i < j$. Pictorially, the diagram of a permutation is obtained by writing the numbers from $1$ to $n$ in this order on a line, and connecting $i$ and $\pi(i)$ with an arc above the line if $i\leq\pi(i)$ and with an arc below the line if $i > \pi(i)$. Then the number of crossings is the number of pairs of arcs above the line that cross or touch, plus the number of arcs below the line that cross.

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 nestings in the permutation.

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 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 $31\!\!-\!\!2$.

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 big descents of a permutation. For a permutation $\pi$, this is the number of indices $i$ such that $\pi(i)-\pi(i+1) > 1$. The generating functions of big descents is equal to the generating function of (normal) descents after sending a permutation from cycle to one-line notation [[Mp00090]], see [Theorem 2.5, 1]. For the number of small descents, see [[St000214]].

The number of right floats of a permutation. Let $\pi$ be a permutation of length $n$. A raft of $\pi$ is a non-empty maximal sequence of consecutive small ascents, [[St000441]], and a right float is a large ascent not consecutive to any raft of $\pi$. See Definition 3.10 and Example 3.11 in [1].

The Grundy value for the game 'Couples are forever' on an integer partition. Two players alternately choose a part of the partition greater than two, and split it into two parts. The player facing a partition with all parts at most two looses.
