Let $\mathcal{C}$ be a permutation class that does not contain all layered permutations or all colayered permutations. We prove that there is a constant $c$ such that every permutation in $\mathcal{C}$ of length $n$ contains a monotone subsequence of length $cn$.

Monotone Subsequence

This paper is part of the ongoing effort to study high-dimensional permutations. We prove the analogue to the Erdős–Szekeres theorem: For every k ≥ 1, every order-nk-dimensional permutation contains a monotone subsequence of length Ωk($\sqrt{n}$), and this is tight. On the other hand, and unlike the classical case, the longest monotone subsequence in a random k-dimensional permutation of order n is asymptotically almost surely Θk(nk/(k+1)).

Erdős and Szekeres showed that any permutation of length $n \geq k^2+1$ contains a monotone subsequence of length $k+1$. A simple example shows that there need be no more than $(n \bmod k){{\lceil n/k \rceil}\choose {k+1}} + (k - (n \bmod k)){{\lfloor n/k \rfloor}\choose {k+1}}$ such subsequences; we conjecture that this is the minimum number of such subsequences. We prove this for $k=2$, with a complete characterisation of the extremal permutations. For $k > 2$ and $n \geq k(2k-1)$, we characterise the permutations containing the minimum number of monotone subsequences of length $k+1$ subject to the additional constraint that all such subsequences go in the same direction (all ascending or all descending); we show that there are $2 {{k}\choose {n \bmod k}} C_k^{2k-2}$ such extremal permutations, where $C_k = {{1}\over {k+1}}{{2k}\choose {k}}$ is the $k^{{\rm th}}$ Catalan number. We conjecture, with some supporting computational evidence, that permutations with a minimum number of monotone $(k+1)$-subsequences must have all such subsequences in the same direction if $n \geq k(2k-1)$, except for the case of $k = 3$ and $n = 16$.

AbstractAn ultraproduct can be a helpful organizing principle in presenting solutions of problems at many levels, as argued by Terence Tao. We apply it here to the solution of a calculus problem: every infinite sequence has a monotone infinite subsequence, and give other applications.
