The sorting index of a permutation.
The sorting index counts the total distance that symbols move during a selection sort of a permutation. This sorting algorithm swaps symbol n into index n and then recursively sorts the first n-1 symbols.
Compare this to St000018The number of inversions of a permutation., the number of inversions of a permutation, which is also the total distance that elements move during a bubble sort.

Sends a Dyck path to the 312-avoiding permutation according to Bandlow-Killpatrick.
This map is defined in [1] and sends the area (St000012The area of a Dyck path.) to the inversion number (St000018The number of inversions of a permutation.).

Sends the permutation $\pi \in \mathfrak{S}_n$ to the permutation $\pi^{-1}c$ where $c = (1,\ldots,n)$ is the long cycle.

Return a permutation whose multiset of invisible inversion bottoms is the multiset of descent views of the given permutation.
An invisible inversion of a permutation $\sigma$ is a pair $i < j$ such that $i < \sigma(j) < \sigma(i)$. The element $\sigma(j)$ is then an invisible inversion bottom.
A descent view in a permutation $\pi$ is an element $\pi(j)$ such that $\pi(i+1) < \pi(j) < \pi(i)$, and additionally the smallest element in the decreasing run containing $\pi(i)$ is smaller than the smallest element in the decreasing run containing $\pi(j)$.
This map is a bijection $\chi:\mathfrak S_n \to \mathfrak S_n$, such that

• the multiset of descent views in $\pi$ is the multiset of invisible inversion bottoms in $\chi(\pi)$,
• the set of left-to-right maxima of $\pi$ is the set of maximal elements in the cycles of $\chi(\pi)$,
• the set of global ascent of $\pi$ is the set of global ascent of $\chi(\pi)$,
• the set of maximal elements in the decreasing runs of $\pi$ is the set of weak deficiency positions of $\chi(\pi)$, and
• the set of minimal elements in the decreasing runs of $\pi$ is the set of weak deficiency values of $\chi(\pi)$.
