In this paper, we focus on the enumeration problems for permutations by circular peak sets. Let $cp_n(S)$ denote the number of the permutations of order $n$ which have the circular peak set $S$. For the case with $|S|=0,1,2$, we derive the explicit formulas for $cp_n(S)$. We also obtain some recurrence relations for the sequence $cp_n(S)$ and give the formula for $cp_n(S)$ in the general case.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-06-05T02:05:14.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "circular peak set", "permutation", "recurrence relations", "general case", "enumeration problems" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0806.0435B" } } }
