Unique maximizers for the and stack-sorting maps
Unique maximizers for the and stack-sorting maps
Let be the set of permutations of length , and let and be the corresponding vincular-pattern-avoiding stack-sorting maps. Unique-maximizers conjecture. The maximum of is uniquely achieved by
and the maximum of is uniquely achieved by
The claim refines the asserted maximum preimage count by specifying its unique attaining permutation for each map. The supplied text presents this as a conjecture following partial smoothing results; no resolution is given.
