Splittability and 1-amalgamability of permutation classes

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A permutation class C is splittable if it is contained in a merge of two of its proper subclasses, and it is 1-amalgamable if given two permutations sigma and au in C, each with a marked element, we can find a permutation pi in C containing both sigma and au such that the two marked elements coincide. It was previously shown that unsplittability implies 1-amalgamability. We prove that unsplittability and 1-amalgamability are not equivalent properties of permutation classes by showing that the class Av(1423,1342) is both splittable and 1-amalgamable. Our construction is based on the concept of LR-inflations, which we introduce here and which may be of independent interest.
