Permutations containing a pattern exactly once and avoiding at least two patterns of three letters

Abstract

In this paper, we find an explicit formulas, or recurrences, in terms of generating functions for the cardinalities of the sets $S_n(T;\tau)$ of all permutations in $S_n$ that contain $\tau\in S_k$ exactly once and avoid a subset $T\subseteq S_3$, $|T|\geq2$. The main body of the paper is divided into three sections corresponding to the cases $|T|=2,3$ and $|T|\geq4$.
