Consecutive patterns in permutations: clusters and generating functions

Abstract
English
We use the cluster method in order to enumerate permutations avoiding consecutive patterns. We reprove and generalize in a unified way several known results and obtain new ones, including some patterns of length 4 and 5, as well as some infinite families of patterns of a given shape. Our main tool is the cluster method of Goulden and Jackson. We also prove some that, for a large class of patterns, the inverse of the exponential generating function counting occurrences is an entire function, but we conjecture that it is not D-finite in general.

On utilise la mèthode des clusters pour ènumèrer permutations qui èvitent motifs consècutifs. On redèmontre et on gènèralise d'une manière unifièe plusieurs rèsultats et on obtient de nouveaux rèsultats pour certains motifs de longueur 4 et 5, ainsi que pour certaines familles infinies de motifs. L'outil principal c'est la mèthode des clusters de Goulden et Jackson. On dèmontre aussi que, pour une grande classe de motifs, l'inverse de la sèrie gènèratrice exponentielle qui compte occurrences est une fonction entière, mais on conjecture qu'elle n'est pas D-finie en gènèral.
