Abstract In this paper we consider matchings avoiding partial patterns 1123 and 1132. We give a bijection between 1123-avoiding matchings with n edges and nonnegative lattice paths from 0 2 to 2n 0 . As a consequence the rehned enumeration of 1123-avoiding matchings can be reduced to the enumeration of certain lattice paths. Another result of this paper is a bijection between 1132-avoiding matchings with n edges and lattice paths from 0 0 to 2n 0 starting with an up step which may go under the x-axis. 1 Introduction A matching on a set 2n 1 2 . 2ng is a partition of 2n of the type 2 2 . 2 or equivalently a graph in which every vertex has degree one. There are many ways to THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 13 2006 R89 1 represent a matching. It can be displayed by drawing 2n points in the plane lying on a horizontal line and connecting them by n arcs each arc connecting two of the points and lying above the points such representation is called the linear representation of the matching 1 . An edge i j is drawn as an arc between the nodes i and j above the horizontal line where the vertices i and j are called the initial point and the end point respectively. An edge e i j is always written in such a way that i j. Let e i j and e i j be two edges of a matching M we say that e .
