In the study of permutation patterns, there has been considerable interest in enumerating specific permutation classes, especially those with relatively few basis elements.
There are two symmetry classes and a single Wilf class for single permutations of length three.

No non-recursive formula counting 1324-avoiding permutations is known. A recursive formula was given by Marinov & Radoičić (2003). A more efficient algorithm using functional equations was given by Johansson & Nakamura (2014), which was enhanced by Conway & Guttmann (2015). Bevan (2015) has provided a lower bound and Bóna (2015) an upper bound for the growth of this class.
There are five symmetry classes and three Wilf classes, all of which were enumerated in Simion & Schmidt (1985).

There are eighteen symmetry classes and nine Wilf classes, all of which have been enumerated. For these results, see Atkinson (1999) or West (1996).

There are 56 symmetry classes and 38 Wilf equivalence classes. Only 5 of these remain unenumerated, and the generating functions for 3 of those 5 classes are conjectured not to satisfy any algebraic differential equation (ADE) by Albert et al.; in particular, their conjecture would imply that the generating functions are not D-finite.
