Abstract: We exhibit a bijection between 132-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths. Using this bijection, it is shown that all the recently discovered results on generating functions for 132-avoiding permutations with a given number of occurrences of the pattern 12...k follow directly from old results on the enumeration of Motzkin paths, among which is a continued fraction result due to Flajolet. As a bonus, we use these observations to derive further results and a precise asymptotic estimate for the number of 132-avoiding permutations of 1,2,...,n with exactly r occurrences of the pattern 12...k. Second, we exhibit a bijection between 123-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths. When combined with a result of Roblet and Viennot, this bijection allows us to express the generating function for 123-avoiding permutations with a given number of occurrences of the pattern (k−1)(k−2)...1k in form of a continued fraction and to derive further results for these permutations.


The paper exhibits a bijection between 132-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths. Through this bijection the formula for the generating function for the number of 132-avoiding permutations with given number of occurrences of the pattern \(12\dots k\), and also an asymptotic formula for this number, follow from corresponding results on Motzkin paths. A bijection is given between 123-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths, and a continued fraction expression is given for the number of 123-avoiding permutations with given number of occurrences of the pattern \((k-1)(k-2)\dots 1k\).
