Gaetz–Pierson non-negativity conjecture for increasing-pattern coefficients
Let be the increasing permutation pattern, let count occurrences of this pattern in permutations, and let denote its Schur expansion. For a fixed partition , write for the associated partition indexing the Schur function . Gaetz–Pierson's conjecture. The coefficient of in
is non-negative. This conjecture extends the known non-negativity results for the coefficients indexed by and in the increasing-pattern case.
