A permutation ơ has a value-peak ơ i if ơ i 1 ơ i ơ i 1 for some i E 2 n 1 . Define VP ơ as the set of value-peaks of the permutation Ơ. For any S c 3 n define VPn S such that VP ơ S. Let Pn S VPn S 0 . we make the set Pn into a poset Pn by defining S Y T if S c T as sets. We prove that the poset Pn is a simplicial complex on the set 3 n and study some of its properties. We give enumerative formulae of permutations in the set VPn S .

If m n then m n 0. Let n 1 n and n be the set of all the permutations on the set n . We write permutations of n in the form a a 1 a 2 a n . Fix a permutation a in Sn. For every i G n 1 if a i a i 1 then we say that i is a position-descent of a. Define the position-descent set of a permutation a denoted by PD a as PD a i G n 1 a i a i 1 . Given a set S c n 1 suppose PD a S for some a G Sn. We easily obtain the increasing and decreasing intervals of a from the set S. The permutation a is a function from the set n to itself. Since the monotonic property of a .
