Description
The size of the first part in the decomposition of a permutation.
For a permutation $\pi$ of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, this is defined to be the smallest $k > 0$ such that $\{\pi(1),\ldots,\pi(k)\} = \{1,\ldots,k\}$. This statistic is undefined for the empty permutation.
For the number of parts in the decomposition see St000056The decomposition (or block) number of a permutation..
Map
to tunnel matching
Description
Sends a Dyck path of semilength n to the noncrossing perfect matching given by matching an up-step with the corresponding down-step.
This is, for a Dyck path $D$ of semilength $n$, the perfect matching of $\{1,\dots,2n\}$ with $i < j$ being matched if $D_i$ is an up-step and $D_j$ is the down-step connected to $D_i$ by a tunnel.
Map
to permutation
Description
Returns the fixed point free involution whose transpositions are the pairs in the perfect matching.
Map
to Dyck path
Description
Sends a partition to the shortest Dyck path tracing the shape of its Ferrers diagram.
