The number of double descents of a permutation.
A double descent of a permutation $\pi$ is a position $i$ such that $\pi(i) > \pi(i+1) > \pi(i+2)$.

The inverse of the Clarke-Steingrimsson-Zeng map, sending excedances to descents.
This is the inverse of the map $\Phi$ in [1, sec.3].

Sends a Dyck path $D$ with valley at positions $\{(i_1,j_1),\ldots,(i_k,j_k)\}$ to the unique non-crossing permutation $\pi$ having descents $\{i_1,\ldots,i_k\}$ and whose inverse has descents $\{j_1,\ldots,j_k\}$.
It sends the area St000012The area of a Dyck path. to the number of inversions St000018The number of inversions of a permutation. and the major index St000027The major index of a Dyck path. to $n(n-1)$ minus the sum of the major index St000004The major index of a permutation. and the inverse major index St000305The inverse major index of a permutation..

Return the Dyck path corresponding to the parallelogram polyomino obtained by applying Delest-Viennot's bijection.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n$. The parallelogram polyomino $\gamma(D)$ is defined as follows: let $\tilde D = d_0 d_1 \dots d_{2n+1}$ be the Dyck path obtained by prepending an up step and appending a down step to $D$. Then, the upper path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with even indices, and the lower path of $\gamma(D)$ corresponds to the sequence of steps of $\tilde D$ with odd indices.
The Delest-Viennot bijection $\beta$ returns the parallelogram polyomino, whose column heights are the heights of the peaks of the Dyck path, and the intersection heights between columns are the heights of the valleys of the Dyck path.
This map returns the Dyck path $(\gamma^{(-1)}\circ\beta)(D)$.
