Contained Pattern

A subset tau in S_n of a permutation {1,...,n} is said to contain alpha in S_k if there exist 1<=i_1<...<i_k<=n such that tau=(tau_i,...,tau_k) is order isomorphic to alpha=(alpha_1,...,alpha_k). Here, S_n is the symmetric group on n elements.

In other words, tau contains alpha iff any k-subset of tau is order isomorphic to alpha.
