We consolidate what is currently known about packing densities of 4-point
permutations and in the process improve the lower bounds for the packing
densities of 1324 and 1342. We also provide rigorous upper bounds for the
packing densities of 1324, 1342, and 2413. All our bounds are within 10−4
of the true packing densities. Together with the known bounds, this gives us a
fairly complete picture of all 4-point packing densities. We also provide new
upper bounds for several small permutations of length at least five. Our main
tool for the upper bounds is the framework of flag algebras introduced by
Razborov in 2007.
