The minimum of the number of parts and the size of the first part of an integer partition. This is also an upper bound on the maximal number of non-attacking rooks that can be placed on the Ferrers board.

The side length of the Durfee square of an integer partition. Given a partition $\lambda = (\lambda_1,\ldots,\lambda_n)$, the Durfee square is the largest partition $(s^s)$ whose diagram fits inside the diagram of $\lambda$. In symbols, $s = \max\{ i \mid \lambda_i \geq i \}$. This is also known as the Frobenius rank.

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 semilength of the longest Dyck word in the Catalan factorisation of a binary word. Every binary word can be written in a unique way as $(\mathcal D 0)^\ell \mathcal D (1 \mathcal D)^m$, where $\mathcal D$ is the set of Dyck words. This is the Catalan factorisation, see [1, sec.9.1.2]. This statistic records the semilength of the longest Dyck word in this factorisation.

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 number of cells in an integer partition whose arm and leg length coincide.

Half the length of a longest factor which is its own reverse-complement of a binary word.

Half the length of a longest factor which is its own reverse-complement and begins with a one of a binary word.

The maximum drop size of a permutation. The maximum drop size of a permutation $\pi$ of $[n]=\{1,2,\ldots, n\}$ is defined to be the maximum value of $i-\pi(i)$.
