For $n\\ge k\\ge2$ and $\\tau\\in S_k^{\\text{av}(\\eta)}$, let $N_n^{k}(\\sigma)$ denote the number of occurrences of $k$ consecutive numbers appearing in $k$ consecutive positions in $\\sigma\\in S_n^{\\text{av}(\\eta)}$, and let $N_n^{k;\\tau}(\\sigma)$ denote the number of such occurrences for which the order of the appearance of the $k$ numbers is the pattern $\\tau$. We obtain explicit formula formulas for $E_n^{\\text{av}(\\eta)}N_n^{k;\\tau}$ and $E_n^{\\text{av}(\\eta)}N_n^k$, for all $2\\le k\\le n$, all $\\eta\\in S_3$ and all $\\tau\\in S_k^{\\text{av}(\\eta)}$. These exact formulas then yield asymptotic formulas as $n\\to\\infty$ with $k$ fixed, and as $n\\to\\infty$ with $k=k_n\\to\\infty$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-22T08:46:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60C05", "05A05" ], "keywords": [ "consecutive numbers", "permutations avoiding", "uniform probability measure", "yield asymptotic formulas", "explicit formula formulas" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
