Comparisons between Avoidance Classes
Begin with graph in one avoidance class (i.e. avoiding 132)
Use algorithm to change graph to one of another avoidanceclass (i.e. avoiding 123)
Prove process gives a different new graph for each oldgraph (one-to-one)

Comparisons between Avoidance Classes
Theorem (Hopkins, Weiler 2015)
The number of permutations of any partially ordered set thatavoid the pattern 123 is greater than or equal to the number ofthose that avoid 132.
Corollary (Liang, Martinez, Osterman, 2018)
Avn(132) ≤ Avn(123)
