Patterns in words of ordered set partitions

Abstract: An ordered set partition of 1,2,ldots,n is a partition with an ordering on the parts. Let mathcalOPn,k be the set of ordered set partitions of [n] with k blocks. Godbole, Goyt, Herdan and Pudwell defined mathcalOPn,k(sigma) to be the set of ordered set partitions in mathcalOPn,k avoiding a permutation pattern sigma and obtained the formula for |mathcalOPn,k(sigma)| when the pattern sigma is of length 2. Later, Chen, Dai and Zhou found a formula algebraically for |mathcalOPn,k(sigma)| when the pattern sigma is of length 3. In this paper, we define a new pattern avoidance for the set mathcalOPn,k, called mathcalWOPn,k(sigma), which includes the questions proposed by Godbole, Goyt, Herdan and Pudwell. We obtain formulas for |mathcalWOPn,k(sigma)| combinatorially for any sigma of length 3. We also define 3 kinds of descent statistics on ordered set partitions and study the distribution of the descent statistics on mathcalWOPn,k(sigma) for sigma of length 3.
