The sum of the descent differences of a permutations. This statistic is given by $$\pi \mapsto \sum_{i\in\operatorname{Des}(\pi)} (\pi_i-\pi_{i+1}).$$ See [[St000111]] and [[St000154]] for the sum of the descent tops and the descent bottoms, respectively. This statistic was studied in [1] and [2] where is was called the ''drop'' of a permutation.

The number of Bruhat lower covers of a permutation. This is, for a signed permutation $\pi$, the number of signed permutations $\tau$ having a reduced word which is obtained by deleting a letter from a reduced word from $\pi$.

The depth of a permutation. This is given by $$\operatorname{dp}(\sigma) = \sum_{\sigma_i>i} (\sigma_i-i) = |\{ i \leq j : \sigma_i > j\}|.$$ The depth is half of the total displacement [4], Problem 5.1.1.28, or Spearman’s disarray [3] $\sum_i |\sigma_i-i|$. Permutations with depth at most $1$ are called ''almost-increasing'' in [5].

The number of Bruhat lower covers of a permutation. This is, for a permutation $\pi$, the number of permutations $\tau$ with $\operatorname{inv}(\tau) = \operatorname{inv}(\pi) - 1$ such that $\tau*t = \pi$ for a transposition $t$. This is also the number of occurrences of the boxed pattern $21$: occurrences of the pattern $21$ such that any entry between the two matched entries is either larger or smaller than both of the matched entries.

The number of cover relations in a poset. Equivalently, this is also the number of edges in the Hasse diagram [1].

Number of indecomposable injective modules with projective dimension 2.

The largest eigenvalue of a graph if it is integral. If a graph is $d$-regular, then its largest eigenvalue equals $d$. One can show that the largest eigenvalue always lies between the average degree and the maximal degree. This statistic is undefined if the largest eigenvalue of the graph is not integral.

The hat guessing number of a graph. Suppose that each vertex of a graph corresponds to a player, wearing a hat whose color is arbitrarily chosen from a set of $q$ possible colors. Each player can see the hat colors of his neighbors, but not his own hat color. All of the players are asked to guess their own hat colors simultaneously, according to a predetermined guessing strategy and the hat colors they see, where no communication between them is allowed. The hat guessing number $HG(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the largest integer $q$ such that there exists a guessing strategy guaranteeing at least one correct guess for any hat assignment of $q$ possible colors. Because it suffices that a single player guesses correctly, the hat guessing number of a graph is the maximum of the hat guessing numbers of its connected components.

The number of colourings of a polygon such that the multiplicities of a colour are given by a partition. Two colourings are considered equal, if they are obtained by an action of the dihedral group. This statistic is only defined for partitions of size at least 3, to avoid ambiguity.

The multiplicity of the irreducible representation corresponding to a partition in the relabelling action on polygons. Equivalently, this is the multiplicity of the irreducible representation corresponding to a partition in the cycle index of the dihedral group. This statistic is only defined for partitions of size at least 3, to avoid ambiguity.
