Shape-Wilf-equivalences for vincular patterns

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: We extend the notion of shape-Wilf-equivalence to vincular patterns (also known as "generalized patterns" or "dashed patterns"). First we introduce a stronger equivalence on patterns which we call filling-shape-Wilf-equivalence. When vincular patterns alpha and are filling-shape-Wilf-equivalent, we prove that the direct sum alphaoplussigma is filling-shape-Wilf-equivalent to . We also discover two new pairs of patterns which are filling-shape-Wilf-equivalent: when alpha, , and sigma are nonempty consecutive patterns which are Wilf-equivalent, alphaoplussigma is filling-shape-Wilf-equivalent to ; and for any consecutive pattern alpha, 1oplusalpha is filling-shape-Wilf-equivalent to 1ominusalpha. These equivalences generalize Wilf-equivalences found by Elizalde and Kitaev. These new equivalences imply many new Wilf-equivalences for vincular patterns
