Abstract:
      Let ${\cal D}_n$ be the set of all signed permutations on $[n]=\{1,\dots, n\}$ with even signs, and let ${\cal D}_n(T)$ be the set of all signed permutations in ${\cal D}_n$ which avoids a set $T$ of signed patterns. In this paper, we find all the cardinalities of the sets ${\cal D}_n(T)$ where $T\subseteq B_2$. Some of the cardinalities encountered involve inverse binomial coefficients, binomial coefficients, Catalan numbers, and Fibonacci numbers.
