Enumeration of Some Davenport-Schinzel Sequences

Abstract. Davenport-Schinzel sequences of order s are words with no subsequence ababa... of length s+2. We give enumeration results for the case s=2. in particular, we related some of these sequences to Catalan and Schröder numbers.


The paper has been finally published under the title "Enumerating Davenport-Schinzel sequences" in RAIRO Inform. Théor. Appl. 26 (1992), 387-402.
