Bounding sequence extremal functions with formations

An (r,s)-formation is a concatenation of s permutations of r letters. If u is a sequence with r distinct letters, then let Ex(u,n) be the maximum length of any r-sparse sequence with n distinct letters which has no subsequence isomorphic to u. For every sequence u define fw(u), the formation width o...
