The side length of the largest staircase partition fitting into a partition. For an integer partition $(\lambda_1\geq \lambda_2\geq\dots)$ this is the largest integer $k$ such that $\lambda_i > k-i$ for $i\in\{1,\dots,k\}$. In other words, this is the length of a longest (strict) north-east chain of cells in the Ferrers diagram of the partition, using the English convention. Equivalently, this is the maximal number of non-attacking rooks that can be placed on the Ferrers diagram. This is also the maximal number of occurrences of a colour in a proper colouring of a Ferrers diagram. A colouring of a Ferrers diagram is proper if no two cells in a row or in a column have the same colour. The minimal number of colours needed is the maximum of the length and the first part of the partition, because we can restrict a latin square to the shape. We can associate to each colouring the integer partition recording how often each colour is used, see [1]. This statistic records the largest part occurring in any of these partitions.

The order dimension of the partition. Given a partition $\lambda$, let $I(\lambda)$ be the principal order ideal in the Young lattice generated by $\lambda$. The order dimension of a partition is defined as the order dimension of the poset $I(\lambda)$.

The jump number of the poset. A jump in a linear extension $e_1, \dots, e_n$ of a poset $P$ is a pair $(e_i, e_{i+1})$ so that $e_{i+1}$ does not cover $e_i$ in $P$. The jump number of a poset is the minimal number of jumps in linear extensions of a poset.

The width of the poset. This is the size of the poset's longest antichain, also called Dilworth number.

The staircase size of the code of a permutation. The code $c(\pi)$ of a permutation $\pi$ of length $n$ is given by the sequence $(c_1,\ldots,c_{n})$ with $c_i = |\{j > i : \pi(j) < \pi(i)\}|$. This is a bijection between permutations and all sequences $(c_1,\ldots,c_n)$ with $0 \leq c_i \leq n-i$. The staircase size of the code is the maximal $k$ such that there exists a subsequence $(c_{i_k},\ldots,c_{i_1})$ of $c(\pi)$ with $c_{i_j} \geq j$. This statistic is mapped through [[Mp00062]] to the number of descents, showing that together with the number of inversions [[St000018]] it is Euler-Mahonian.

The length of the longest staircase fitting into an integer composition. For a given composition $c_1,\dots,c_n$, this is the maximal number $\ell$ such that there are indices $i_1 < \dots < i_\ell$ with $c_{i_k} \geq k$, see [def.3.1, 1]

The number of parts of the shifted shape of a permutation. The diagram of a strict partition $\lambda_1 < \lambda_2 < \dots < \lambda_\ell$ of $n$ is a tableau with $\ell$ rows, the $i$-th row being indented by $i$ cells. A shifted standard Young tableau is a filling of such a diagram, where entries in rows and columns are strictly increasing. The shifted Robinson-Schensted algorithm [1] associates to a permutation a pair $(P, Q)$ of standard shifted Young tableaux of the same shape, where off-diagonal entries in $Q$ may be circled. This statistic records the number of parts of the shifted shape.

The number of upper interactions of a Dyck path. An ''upper interaction'' in a Dyck path is defined as the occurrence of a factor '''$A^{k}$$B^{k}$''' for any '''${k ≥ 1}$''', where '''${A}$''' is a down-step and '''${B}$''' is a up-step.

The degree of the standard monomial associated to a Dyck path relative to the trivial lower boundary. Given two lattice paths $U,L$ from $(0,0)$ to $(d,n-d)$, [1] describes a bijection between lattice paths weakly between $U$ and $L$ and subsets of $\{1,\dots,n\}$ such that the set of all such subsets gives the standard complex of the lattice path matroid $M[U,L]$. This statistic gives the cardinality of the image of this bijection when a Dyck path is considered as a path weakly below the diagonal and relative to the trivial lower boundary.
