      Summary: A permutation \(\pi\) is said to avoid the permutation \(\tau\) if no subsequence in \(\pi\) has the same order relations as \(\tau\). Two sets of permutations \(\Pi_1\) and \(\Pi_2\) are Wilf-equivalent if, for all \(n\), the number of permutations of length \(n\) avoiding all of the permutations in \(\Pi_1\) equals the number of permutations of length \(n\) avoiding all of the permutations in \(\Pi_2\). Using generating trees, we complete the problem of finding all Wilf-equivalences among pairs of permutations of which one has length 3 and the other has length 5 by proving that \(\{123,32541\}\) is Wilf-equivalent to \(\{123,43251\}\) and that \(\{123,42513\}\) is Wilf-equivalent to \(\{132, 34215\}\). In addition, we provide generating trees for fourteen other pairs, among which there are two examples of pairs that give rise to isomorphic generating trees.
