The number of occurrences of the contiguous pattern {{{[.,[.,[.,.]]]}}} in a binary tree. [[oeis:A001006]] counts binary trees avoiding this pattern.

The Grundy value for the game 'Couples are forever' on an integer partition. Two players alternately choose a part of the partition greater than two, and split it into two parts. The player facing a partition with all parts at most two looses.

The spin of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda$ can be decomposed into border strips. The spin is then defined to be the total number of crossings of border strips of $\lambda$ with the vertical lines in the Ferrers shape. The following example is taken from Appendix B in [1]: Let $\lambda = (5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1), (4,3,3,1), (2,2), (1), ().$$ The first strip $(5,5,4,4,2,1) \setminus (4,3,3,1)$ crosses $4$ times, the second strip $(4,3,3,1) \setminus (2,2)$ crosses $3$ times, the strip $(2,2) \setminus (1)$ crosses $1$ time, and the remaining strip $(1) \setminus ()$ does not cross. This yields the spin of $(5,5,4,4,2,1)$ to be $4+3+1 = 8$.

The dinv adjustment of an integer partition. The Ferrers shape of an integer partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_k)$ can be decomposed into border strips. For $0 \leq j < \lambda_1$ let $n_j$ be the length of the border strip starting at $(\lambda_1-j,0)$. The dinv adjustment is then defined by $$\sum_{j:n_j > 0}(\lambda_1-1-j).$$ The following example is taken from Appendix B in [2]: Let $\lambda=(5,5,4,4,2,1)$. Removing the border strips successively yields the sequence of partitions $$(5,5,4,4,2,1),(4,3,3,1),(2,2),(1),(),$$ and we obtain $(n_0,\ldots,n_4) = (10,7,0,3,1)$. The dinv adjustment is thus $4+3+1+0 = 8$.

The number of conjugacy classes of subgroups with connected subgroups of sizes prescribed by an integer partition. Equivalently, given an integer partition $\lambda$, this is the number of molecular combinatorial species that decompose into a product of atomic species of sizes $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\dots$. In particular, the value on the partition $(n)$ is the number of atomic species of degree $n$, [2].

The degree of the cyclic sieving polynomial corresponding to an integer partition. Let $\lambda$ be an integer partition of $n$ and let $N$ be the least common multiple of the parts of $\lambda$. Fix an arbitrary permutation $\pi$ of cycle type $\lambda$. Then $\pi$ induces a cyclic action of order $N$ on $\{1,\dots,n\}$. The corresponding character can be identified with the cyclic sieving polynomial $C_\lambda(q)$ of this action, modulo $q^N-1$. Explicitly, it is $$ \sum_{p\in\lambda} [p]_{q^{N/p}}, $$ where $[p]_q = 1+\dots+q^{p-1}$ is the $q$-integer. This statistic records the degree of $C_\lambda(q)$. Equivalently, it equals $$ \left(1 - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}\right) N, $$ where $\lambda_1$ is the largest part of $\lambda$. The statistic is undefined for the empty partition.

The number of monotone factorisations of genus zero of a permutation of given cycle type. A monotone factorisation of genus zero of a permutation $\pi\in\mathfrak S_n$ with $\ell$ cycles, including fixed points, is a tuple of $r = n - \ell$ transpositions $$ (a_1, b_1),\dots,(a_r, b_r) $$ with $b_1 \leq \dots \leq b_r$ and $a_i < b_i$ for all $i$, whose product, in this order, is $\pi$. For example, the cycle $(2,3,1)$ has the two factorizations $(2,3)(1,3)$ and $(1,2)(2,3)$.
