The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections. Cataloged from student submitted PDF version of thesis. Includes bibliographical references (p. 67-69). We consider a variety of questions related to pattern avoidance in alternating permutations and generalizations thereof. We give bijective enumerations of alternating permutations avoiding patterns of length 3 and 4, of permutations that are the reading words of a "thickened staircase" shape (or equivalently of permutations with descent set {k, 2k, 3k, . . .}) avoiding a monotone pattern, and of the reading words of Young tableaux of any skew shape avoiding any of the patterns 132, 213, 312, or 231. Our bijections include a simple bijection involving binary trees, variations on the Robinson-Schensted-Knuth correspondence, and recursive bijections established via isomorphisms of generating trees. by Joel Brewster Lewis.
