Three Generalizations of Davenport-Schinzel Sequences

Abstract

We present new, and mostly sharp, bounds on the maximum length of certain generalizations of Davenport-Schinzel sequences. Among the results are sharp bounds on order-s double DS sequences, for all s, sharp bounds on sequences avoiding catenated permutations (aka formation free sequences), and new lower bounds on sequences avoiding zig-zagging patterns.
