The largest multiplicity of a 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 $2$. The path on four vertices has eigenvalues $0, 4.7\dots, 6, 9.2\dots$ and therefore statistic $1$.

The maximal multiplicity of a Laplacian eigenvalue in a graph.

The number of occurrences of the arrow pattern 1-2 with an arrow from 1 to 2 in a permutation. Let $\nu$ be a (partial) permutation of $[k]$ with $m$ letters together with dashes between some of its letters. An occurrence of $\nu$ in a permutation $\tau$ is a subsequence $\tau_{a_1},\dots,\tau_{a_m}$ such that $a_i + 1 = a_{i+1}$ whenever there is a dash between the $i$-th and the $(i+1)$-st letter of $\nu$, which is order isomorphic to $\nu$. Thus, $\nu$ is a vincular pattern, except that it is not required to be a permutation. An arrow pattern of size $k$ consists of such a generalized vincular pattern $\nu$ and arrows $b_1\to c_1, b_2\to c_2,\dots$, such that precisely the numbers $1,\dots,k$ appear in the vincular pattern and the arrows. Let $\Phi$ be the map [[Mp00087]]. Let $\tau$ be a permutation and $\sigma = \Phi(\tau)$. Then a subsequence $w = (x_{a_1},\dots,x_{a_m})$ of $\tau$ is an occurrence of the arrow pattern if $w$ is an occurrence of $\nu$, for each arrow $b\to c$ we have $\sigma(x_b) = x_c$ and $x_1 < x_2 < \dots < x_k$.

The number of occurrences of the vincular pattern |12-3 in a permutation. This is the number of occurrences of the pattern $123$, where the first matched entry is the first entry of the permutation and the other two matched entries are consecutive. In other words, this is the number of ascents whose bottom value is strictly larger than the first entry of the permutation.

The number of restricted non-inversions between exceedances. This is for a permutation $\sigma$ of length $n$ given by $$\operatorname{nie}(\sigma) = \#\{1 \leq i, j \leq n \mid i < j < \sigma(i) < \sigma(j) \}.$$

Gives the maximal vector space dimension of the first Ext-group between an indecomposable module X and the regular module A, when A is the Nakayama algebra corresponding to the Dyck path.
