Refined restricted inversion sequences

Recently, the study of patterns in inversion sequences was initiated by Corteel-Martinez-Savage-Weselcouch and Mansour-Shattuck independently. Motivated by their works and a double Eulerian equidistribution due to Foata (1977), we investigate several classical statistics on restricted inversion sequences that are either known or conjectured to be enumerated by {\em Catalan}, {\em Large Schröder}, {\em Baxter} and {\em Euler} numbers. One of the two highlights of our results is a fascinating bijection between $000$-avoiding inversion sequences and Simsun permutations, which together with Foata's V- and S-codes, provide a proof of a restriced double Eulerian equdistribution. The other one is a refinement of a conjecture due to Martinez and Savage that the cardinality of $\I_n(\geq,\geq,>)$ is the $n$-th Baxter number, which is proved via the so-called {\em obstinate kernel method} developed by Bousquet-Mélou.
