1324-avoiding permutations revisited

We give an improved algorithm for counting the number of $1324$-avoiding permutations, resulting in $14$ further terms of the generating function, which is now known for all patterns of length $\le 50$. We re-analyse the generating function and find additional evidence for our earlier conclusion that unlike other classical length-$4$ pattern-avoiding permutations, the generating function does not have a simple power-law singularity, but rather, the number of $1324$-avoiding permutations of length $n$ behaves as $$B\cdot {\mu }^n\cdot {\mu }_1^{\sqrt{n}}\cdot n^g\mathrm{.}$$ We estimate $\mu =11.600\pm 0.003$, $\mu_1 = 0.0400 \pm 0.0005$,$g = -1.1 \pm 0.1$whiletheestimateof$B$ depends sensitively on the precise value of $\mu$, ${\mu }_1$ and $g$. This reanalysis provides substantially more compelling arguments for the presence of the stretched exponential term ${\mu }_1^{\sqrt{n}}$.
