The major index of the composition. The descents of a composition $[c_1,c_2,\dots,c_k]$ are the partial sums $c_1, c_1+c_2,\dots, c_1+\dots+c_{k-1}$, excluding the sum of all parts. The major index of a composition is the sum of its descents. For details about the major index see [[Permutations/Descents-Major]].

The major index north count of a Dyck path. The descent set $\operatorname{des}(D)$ of a Dyck path $D = D_1 \cdots D_{2n}$ with $D_i \in \{N,E\}$ is given by all indices $i$ such that $D_i = E$ and $D_{i+1} = N$. This is, the positions of the valleys of $D$. The '''major index''' of a Dyck path is then the sum of the positions of the valleys, $\sum_{i \in \operatorname{des}(D)} i$, see [[St000027]]. The '''major index north count''' is given by $\sum_{i \in \operatorname{des}(D)} \#\{ j \leq i \mid D_j = N\}$.

The major index east count of a Dyck path. The descent set $\operatorname{des}(D)$ of a Dyck path $D = D_1 \cdots D_{2n}$ with $D_i \in \{N,E\}$ is given by all indices $i$ such that $D_i = E$ and $D_{i+1} = N$. This is, the positions of the valleys of $D$. The '''major index''' of a Dyck path is then the sum of the positions of the valleys, $\sum_{i \in \operatorname{des}(D)} i$, see [[St000027]]. The '''major index east count''' is given by $\sum_{i \in \operatorname{des}(D)} \#\{ j \leq i \mid D_j = E\}$.

The depth index of a set partition. For a set partition $\Pi$ of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ with arcs $\mathcal A$, this is $$\sum_{i=1}^{|\mathcal A|} (n-i) - \sum_{j=1}^n depth(j) + \sum_{\alpha\in\mathcal A} depth(\alpha),$$ where the depth of an element $i$ is the number of arcs $(k,\ell)$ with $k < i < \ell$, and the depth of an arc $(i,j)$ is the number of arcs $(k,\ell)$ with $k < i$ and $j < \ell$.

The number of edges of a graph.

The disorder of a permutation. Consider a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$ and cyclically scanning $\pi$ from left to right and remove the elements $1$ through $n$ on this order one after the other. The '''disorder''' of $\pi$ is defined to be the number of times a position was not removed in this process. For example, the disorder of $[3,5,2,1,4]$ is $8$ since on the first scan, 3,5,2 and 4 are not removed, on the second, 3,5 and 4, and on the third and last scan, 5 is once again not removed.

The comajor index of a permutation. This is, $\operatorname{comaj}(\pi) = \sum_{i \in \operatorname{Des}(\pi)} (n-i)$ for a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$.
