On Wilf equivalence for alternating permutations (Q396905)

Summary: In this paper, we obtain several new classes of Wilf-equivalent patterns for alternating permutations. In particular, we prove that for any nonempty pattern \(\tau\), the patterns \(12\ldots k\oplus\tau\) and \(k\ldots 21\oplus\tau\) are Wilf-equivalent for alternating permutations, paralleling a result of \textit{J. Backelin} et al. [Adv. Appl. Math. 38, No. 2, 133--148 (2007; Zbl 1127.05002)] for Wilf equivalence for permutations.
