The staircase size of the code of a permutation.
The code $c(\pi)$ of a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$ is given by the sequence $(c_1,\ldots,c_{n})$ with $c_i = |\{j > i : \pi(j) < \pi(i)\}|$. This is a bijection between permutations and all sequences $(c_1,\ldots,c_n)$ with $0 \leq c_i \leq n-i$.
The staircase size of the code is the maximal $k$ such that there exists a subsequence $(c_{i_k},\ldots,c_{i_1})$ of $c(\pi)$ with $c_{i_j} \geq j$.
This statistic is mapped through Mp00062Lehmer-code to major-code bijection to the number of descents, showing that together with the number of inversions St000018The number of inversions of a permutation. it is Euler-Mahonian.

This map is recursively defined as follows.
The unique empty path of semilength $0$ is sent to itself.
Let $D$ be a Dyck path of semilength $n > 0$ and decompose it into $1 D_1 0 D_2$ with Dyck paths $D_1, D_2$ of respective semilengths $n_1$ and $n_2$ such that $n_1$ is minimal. One then has $n_1+n_2 = n-1$.
Now let $\tilde D_1$ and $\tilde D_2$ be the recursively defined respective images of $D_1$ and $D_2$ under this map. The image of $D$ is then defined as $1 \tilde D_2 0 \tilde D_1$.

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