Permutations avoiding all patterns of a given shape (in the sense of Robinson, Schensted, and Knuth) are considered. We show that the shapes of all such permutations are contained in a suitable thick hook and deduce an exponential growth rate for their number.

We study generating functions for the number of permutations on n letters avoiding 132 and an arbitrary permutation Ο on k letters, or containing Ο exactly once. In several interesting cases the generating function depends only on k and is expressed via Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.
We show that it is consistent with ZFC + Β¬CH that there is a maximal almost disjoint permutation family A β Sym(N) such that A is a proper subset of an eventually different family E β N N and |A| < |E|. We also ask several questions in this area.
We consider permutations of a multiset which do not contain certain ordered patterns of length 3. For each possible set of patterns we provide a structural description of the permutations avoiding those patterns, and in many cases a complete enumeration of such permutations according to the underlyi
