Abstract :
We prove a strikingly simple formula for the number of permutations containing exactly one subsequence of type 132. We show that this number equals the number of partitions of a convex (n + 1)-gon into n − 2 parts by noncrossing diagonals. We also prove a recursive formula for the number dn of those containing exactly two such subsequences, yielding that {dn} is P-recursive.
