Abstract

We study the number of permutations in the symmetric group on n elements that avoid consecutive patterns S. We show that the spectrum of an associated integral operator on the space L2[0, 1]m determines the asymptotic behavior of such permutations. Moreover, using an operator version of the classical Frobenius-Perron theorem due to Kre˘ın and Rutman, we prove asymptotic results for large classes of patterns S. This extends previously known results of Elizalde.
