COMMENTS
(123,{1},{}) is a vincular pattern. It has underlying classical pattern 123 and the extra requirement that the 1 and the 2 are adjacent in the permutation.
(231,{},{2}) is a co-vincular pattern. It has underlying classical pattern 231 and the extra requirement that the 2 and 3 are exactly one apart in the permutation.
These can be counted recursively in the following way. If you let n be the length, r be the number of left to right minima and i be the position of the leftmost point with respect to the left to right minima then we get that
a(n,r,1) = a(n-1,r,r) + a(n-1,r,1) + a(n-1,r-1,r-1)
a(n,r,r) = sum( a(n-1,r,j) for j in [1..r] )
a(n,r,i) = a(n-1,r,r) + sum( a(n-1,r,j) for j in [1..i] )
which with the initial conditions that n must be greater than or equal to r and r greater than or equal to i and a(n,1,1) = 1.
Then a(n) = sum( sum( a(n,r,i) for i in [1..r] ) for r in [1..n] ).

FORMULA
G.f: 1 + x/(1-x) * sum( sum( x^(i+k) * F_n+1,k(1/(1-x)) for k in [0..n+1] ) for n >= 0 ) where F_n,k(q) = q^n * q^C(k,2) * [n-1,k-1] and [a,b] is the q-binomial. - Christian Bean, Jun 03 2015
