โฆ Synopsis
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.

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.
Restricted permutations are those constrained by having to avoid subsequences ordered in various prescribed ways. They have functioned as a convenient descriptor for several sets of permutations which arise naturally in combinatorics and computer science. We study the partial order on permutations t
