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 height of a Dyck path. The height of a Dyck path $D$ of semilength $n$ is defined as the maximal height of a peak of $D$. The height of $D$ at position $i$ is the number of up-steps minus the number of down-steps before position $i$.

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

The maximum drop size of a permutation. The maximum drop size of a permutation $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is defined to be the maximum value of $i-\pi(i)$.

Half of the global dimension of the stable Auslander algebra of the Nakayama algebra corresponding to the Dyck path. The stable Auslander algebra is by definition the stable endomorphism ring of the direct sum of all indecomposable modules.

The length of the longest increasing subsequence of the permutation.

The depth minus 1 of an ordered tree. The ordered trees of size $n$ are bijection with the Dyck paths of size $n-1$, and this statistic then corresponds to [[St000013]].

The maximal area to the right of an up step of a Dyck path.

The width of the poset. This is the size of the poset's longest antichain, also called Dilworth number.

The size of the largest partition in the oscillating tableau corresponding to the perfect matching. Equivalently, this is the maximal number of crosses in the corresponding triangular rook filling that can be covered by a rectangle.
