Abstract.

Define \( S_{k}^n (\alpha) \) to be the set of permutations of {1, 2,...,n} with exactly k fixed points which avoid the pattern \( \alpha\in S_m \). Let \( S_{k}^n (\alpha) \) be the size of \( S_{k}^n (\alpha) \). We investigate \( S_{n}^0 (\alpha) \) for all \( \alpha\in S_3 \) as well as show that \( s_{n}^{k} (132) = s_{n}^{k}(213) = s_{n}^{k}(321)\quad\mathrm{and}\quad s_{n}^{k}(231) = s_{n}^{k}(312)\quad\mathrm{for\quad all}\quad 0\leq k\leq n \).

ID="h1"Dedication: In memory of Rodica Simion (1955-2000)¶This article is dedicated to the memory of Rodica Simion, one of the greatest enumerators of the 20th century. Both derangements [8] and restricted permutations [10] were very dear to her heart, and we are sure that she would have appreciated the present surprising connections between these at-first-sight unrelated concepts.
