The diameter of a connected graph. This is the greatest distance between any pair of vertices.

The length of a longest path in a graph.

The detour number of a graph. This is the number of vertices in a longest induced path in a graph. Note that [1] defines the detour number as the number of edges in a longest induced path, which is unsuitable for the empty graph.

The number of cyclic descents of a permutation. For a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is given by the number of indices $1 \leq i \leq n$ such that $\pi(i) > \pi(i+1)$ where we set $\pi(n+1) = \pi(1)$.

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 $n$.
