Enumerating (2+2)-free posets by the number of minimal elements and other statistics Joint work with Jeff Remmel University of California, San Diego Sergey Kitaev Reykjavik University
Unlabeled (2+2)-free posets A partially ordered set is called (2+2)-free if it contains no induced sub-posets isomorphic to (2+2) = bad guy good guy Such posets arise as interval orders (Fishburn): P. C. Fishburn, Intransitive indifference with unequal indifference intervals, J. Math. Psych. 7 (1970) 144–149.
Ascent sequences Number of ascents in a word: asc(0, 0, 2, 1, 1, 0, 3, 1, 2, 3) = 4 (0,0,2,1,1,0,3,1,2,3) is not an ascent sequence, whereas (0,0,1,0,1,3,0) is.

Overview of results by Bousquet-Mélou et al. (2008) Bijections (respecting several statistics) between the following objects unlabeled (2+2)-free posets on n elements pattern-avoiding permutations of length n ascent sequences of length n linearized chord diagrams with n chords = certain involutions Closed form for the generating function for these classes of objects _ _ Pudwell’s conjecture (on permutations avoiding 31524) is settled using modified ascent sequences
Unlabeled (2+2)-free posets Theorem. (easy to prove) A poset is (2+2)-free iff the collection of strict down-sets may be linearly ordered by inclusion.
Unlabeled (2+2)-free posets How can one decompose a (2+2)-free poset?
Unlabeled (2+2)-free posets 1 1 3 1 0 1 Removing last point gives one extra 0. Read labels backwards: (0, 1, 0, 1, 3, 1, 1, 2) – an ascent sequence!
Theorem. There is a 1-1 correspondence between unlabeled (2+2)-free posets on n elements and ascent sequences of length n. (0, 1, 0, 1, 3, 1, 1, 2)
