The side length of the largest staircase partition fitting into a partition. For an integer partition $(\lambda_1\geq \lambda_2\geq\dots)$ this is the largest integer $k$ such that $\lambda_i > k-i$ for $i\in\{1,\dots,k\}$. In other words, this is the length of a longest (strict) north-east chain of cells in the Ferrers diagram of the partition, using the English convention. Equivalently, this is the maximal number of non-attacking rooks that can be placed on the Ferrers diagram. This is also the maximal number of occurrences of a colour in a proper colouring of a Ferrers diagram. A colouring of a Ferrers diagram is proper if no two cells in a row or in a column have the same colour. The minimal number of colours needed is the maximum of the length and the first part of the partition, because we can restrict a latin square to the shape. We can associate to each colouring the integer partition recording how often each colour is used, see [1]. This statistic records the largest part occurring in any of these partitions.

The sum of the heights of the peaks of a Dyck path minus the number of peaks.

The size of a partition minus its first part. This is the number of boxes in its diagram that are not in the first row.

The staircase size of the code of a permutation. The code $c(\pi)$ of a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$ is given by the sequence $(c_1,\ldots,c_{n})$ with $c_i = |\{j > i : \pi(j) < \pi(i)\}|$. This is a bijection between permutations and all sequences $(c_1,\ldots,c_n)$ with $0 \leq c_i \leq n-i$. The staircase size of the code is the maximal $k$ such that there exists a subsequence $(c_{i_k},\ldots,c_{i_1})$ of $c(\pi)$ with $c_{i_j} \geq j$. This statistic is mapped through [[Mp00062]] to the number of descents, showing that together with the number of inversions [[St000018]] it is Euler-Mahonian.

The order dimension of the partition. Given a partition $\lambda$, let $I(\lambda)$ be the principal order ideal in the Young lattice generated by $\lambda$. The order dimension of a partition is defined as the order dimension of the poset $I(\lambda)$.

The number of double up and double down steps of a Dyck path. In other words, this is the number of double rises (and, equivalently, the number of double falls) of a Dyck path.
