%N Number of compositions of n that avoid the pattern 23-1.

%C Note that an exponentiation ^(-1) is missing in Example 4.4. The notation in Theorem 4.3 is complete.

%C Theorem: The reverse of a composition avoids 23-1 iff its leaders of maximal weakly increasing runs are weakly decreasing. For example, the composition y = (3,2,1,2,2,1,2,5,1,1,1) has maximal weakly increasing runs ((3),(2),(1,2,2),(1,2,5),(1,1,1)), with leaders (3,2,1,1,1), which are weakly decreasing, so the reverse of y is counted under a(21). - _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 19 2024

%e From _Gus Wiseman_, Aug 19 2024: (Start)

%e The a(6) = 31 compositions:

%e . (6) (5,1) (4,1,1) (3,1,1,1) (2,1,1,1,1) (1,1,1,1,1,1)

%e (1,5) (1,4,1) (1,3,1,1) (1,2,1,1,1)

%e (4,2) (1,1,4) (1,1,3,1) (1,1,2,1,1)

%e (2,4) (3,2,1) (1,1,1,3) (1,1,1,2,1)

%e (3,3) (3,1,2) (2,2,1,1) (1,1,1,1,2)

%e (2,3,1) (2,1,2,1)

%e (2,1,3) (2,1,1,2)

%e (1,2,3) (1,2,2,1)

%e (2,2,2) (1,2,1,2)

%e (1,1,2,2)

%e Missing is (1,3,2), reverse of (2,3,1).

%Y The non-dashed version is A102726.

%Y The version for 3-12 is A188900, complement A375406.

%Y Avoiding 12-1 also gives A188920 in reverse.

%Y The version for 13-2 is A189077.

%Y For identical leaders we have A374631, ranks A374633.

%Y For distinct leaders we have A374632, ranks A374768.

%Y The complement is counted by A374636, ranks A375137.

%Y A011782 counts compositions.

%Y A238130, A238279, A333755 count compositions by number of runs.
