contents We study the feasible region for consecutive patterns of pattern-avoiding permutations. More precisely, given a family $\mathcal C$ of permutations avoiding a fixed set of patterns, we consider the limit of proportions of consecutive patterns on large permutations of $\mathcal C$. These limits form a region, which we call the consecutive patterns feasible region for $\mathcal C$. We determine the dimension of the consecutive patterns feasible region for all families $\mathcal C$ closed either for the direct sum or the skew sum. These families include for instance the ones avoiding a single pattern and all substitution-closed classes. We further show that these regions are always convex and we conjecture that they are always polytopes. We prove this conjecture when $\mathcal C$ is the family of $τ$-avoiding permutations, with either $τ$ of size three or $τ$ a monotone pattern. Furthermore, in these cases we give a full description of the vertices of these polytopes via cycle polytopes. Along the way, we discuss connections of this work with the problem of packing patterns in pattern-avoiding permutations and to the study of local limits for pattern-avoiding permutations.

We study the feasible region for consecutive patterns of pattern-avoiding permutations. More precisely, given a family $\mathcal C$ of permutations avoiding a fixed set of patterns, we consider the limit of proportions of consecutive patterns on large permutations of $\mathcal C$. These limits form a region, which we call the consecutive patterns feasible region for $\mathcal C$.
