The major index of a composition regarded as a word. This is the sum of the positions of the descents of the composition. For the statistic which interprets the composition as a descent set, see [[St000008]].

The number of inversions of an integer composition. This is the number of pairs $(i,j)$ such that $i < j$ and $c_i > c_j$.

The multiplicity of the largest distance Laplacian eigenvalue in a connected graph. The distance Laplacian of a graph is the (symmetric) matrix with row and column sums $0$, which has the negative distances between two vertices as its off-diagonal entries. This statistic is the largest multiplicity of an eigenvalue. For example, the cycle on four vertices has distance Laplacian $$ \left(\begin{array}{rrrr} 4 & -1 & -2 & -1 \\ -1 & 4 & -1 & -2 \\ -2 & -1 & 4 & -1 \\ -1 & -2 & -1 & 4 \end{array}\right). $$ Its eigenvalues are $0,4,4,6$, so the statistic is $1$. The path on four vertices has eigenvalues $0, 4.7\dots, 6, 9.2\dots$ and therefore also statistic $1$. The graphs with statistic $n-1$, $n-2$ and $n-3$ have been characterised, see [1].

The monochromatic index of a connected graph. This is the maximal number of colours such that there is a colouring of the edges where any two vertices can be joined by a monochromatic path. For example, a circle graph other than the triangle can be coloured with at most two colours: one edge blue, all the others red.

The second Elser number of a connected graph. For a connected graph $G$ the $k$-th Elser number is $$ els_k(G) = (-1)^{|V(G)|+1} \sum_N (-1)^{|E(N)|} |V(N)|^k $$ where the sum is over all nuclei of $G$, that is, the connected subgraphs of $G$ whose vertex set is a vertex cover of $G$. It is clear that this number is even. It was shown in [1] that it is non-negative.
