Description: Refined restricted permutations. Derangements (and more generally the notion of ”fixed points of a permutation”) are concepts related to the cycle-structre, i.e. two-line notation, i.e. permutations qua 1-1 functions from [1,n] to [1,n]. On the other hand, Pattern-avoidance (and Wilf- equivalence) are inherently ”wordy”, i.e. pertain to permutations qua words. Perhaps this is why no one noticed the amazing and easily-stated fact that the number of 132-avoiding derangements equals the number of 321-avoiding derangements, and even more amazingly, that the same is true if you replace ”derangement” by ”with i fixed points”, for ANY \(i\) between \(0\) and \(n\). This astounding fact was first discovered emprically by Aaron Robertson ...
