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 ฯ on k letters, or containing ฯ exactly once. In several interesting cases the generating function depends only on k and is expressed via Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind.
