The number of crossings of a permutation. A crossing of a permutation $\pi$ is given by a pair $(i,j)$ such that either $i < j \leq \pi(i) \leq \pi(j)$ or $\pi(i) < \pi(j) < i < j$. Pictorially, the diagram of a permutation is obtained by writing the numbers from $1$ to $n$ in this order on a line, and connecting $i$ and $\pi(i)$ with an arc above the line if $i\leq\pi(i)$ and with an arc below the line if $i > \pi(i)$. Then the number of crossings is the number of pairs of arcs above the line that cross or touch, plus the number of arcs below the line that cross.

The number of valleys of a Dyck path not on the x-axis. That is, the number of valleys of nonminimal height. This corresponds to the number of -1's in an inclusion of Dyck paths into alternating sign matrices.

The number of nestings in the permutation.

The cycle descent number of a permutation. Let $(i_1,\ldots,i_k)$ be a cycle of a permutation $\pi$ such that $i_1$ is its smallest element. A **cycle descent** of $(i_1,\ldots,i_k)$ is an $i_a$ for $1 \leq a < k$ such that $i_a > i_{a+1}$. The **cycle descent set** of $\pi$ is then the set of descents in all the cycles of $\pi$, and the **cycle descent number** is its cardinality.

The number of occurrences of the pattern 31-2. See [[Permutations/#Pattern-avoiding_permutations]] for the definition of the pattern $31\!\!-\!\!2$.

The number of mid points of decreasing subsequences of length 3 in a permutation. For a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is the number of indices $j$ such that there exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi(i) > \pi(j) > \pi(k)$. In other words, this is the number of indices that are neither left-to-right maxima nor right-to-left minima. This statistic can also be expressed as the number of occurrences of the mesh pattern ([3,2,1], {(0,2),(0,3),(2,0),(3,0)}): the shading fixes the first and the last element of the decreasing subsequence. See also [[St000119]].

The number of weak exceedences of a permutation that are also mid-points of a decreasing subsequence of length $3$. Given a permutation $\pi = [\pi_1,\ldots,\pi_n]$, this statistic counts the number of position $j$ such that $\pi_j \geq j$ and there exist indices $i,k$ with $i < j < k$ and $\pi_i > \pi_j > \pi_k$. See also [[St000213]] and [[St000119]].

The independence gap of a graph. This is the difference between the independence number [[St000093]] and the minimal size of a maximally independent set of a graph. In particular, this statistic is $0$ for well covered graphs

The number of distinct positions of the pattern letter 3 in occurrences of 132 in a permutation.

The number of invisible inversions of a permutation. A visible inversion of a permutation $\pi$ is a pair $i < j$ such that $\pi(j) \leq \min(i, \pi(i))$. Thus, an invisible inversion satisfies $\pi(i) > \pi(j) > i$.
