Abstract

We initiate a general approach for the fast enumeration of permutations with a prescribed number of occurrences of ''forbidden'' patterns that seems to indicate that the enumerating sequence is always P-recursive. We illustrate the method completely in terms of the patterns ''abc,'' ''cab,'' and ''abcd.''
