Abstract

We prove that every proper subclass of the 321-avoiding permutations that is defined either by only finitely many additional restrictions or is well-quasi-ordered has a rational generating function. To do so we show that any such class is in bijective correspondence with a regular language. The proof makes significant use of formal languages and of a host of encodings, including a new mapping called the panel encoding that maps languages over the infinite alphabet of positive integers avoiding certain subwords to languages over finite alphabets.
