A cycle lemma for permutation inversions
2002
Discrete Mathematics
Using a "cycle lemma", a combinatorial proof of the results is given. Moreover, some applications to the Gaussian binomial coe cient are illustrated. ...
Some enumerative results concerning the permutations of the multiset {x m 1 1 ; x m 2 2 } with respect to the inversion parameter are established and it is shown that these depend on gcd(m1; m2). ...

Hurdles Hardly Have to Be Heeded

the probability of generating one in the process of sorting a permutation if one does not take special precautions (as in a randomized algorithm, for instance). ...
In this paper, we extend the work of Caprara and of Bergeron by providing simple and exact characterizations of the probability of encountering a hurdle or a fortress in a random permutation, as well as ...
However, not every sorting inversion for a permutation without hurdles is necessarily an oriented inversion; on the other hand, it is necessarily a cycle-splitting inversion. ...

In this paper we give an affirmative answer to a conjecture proposed by Danny Neftin, that is, if the commutator of two permutations has at least n-4 fixed points where two permutations are in degree n ...
Since there is no a transitive cycle factors chain of α on β, it follows that α −1 i α β j = 1 for all i and j. By Lemma 2.6 (i), there exist local inverse pairs between α −1 and α β . ...

Lemma (3. 2) implies that, if H contains a 3-cycle, then H also contains a 2-cycle. Hence, H can never be equal to A4. This is true for type (I), (II), or (III) quadruples. ...
The next lemma tells us that, if H contains a 3-cycle or a 4-cycle, then H also contains a 2-cycle, and hence the equivalence class of our quadruple contains a quadruple of type (I) or (II) above. ...
