We use a new technique involving diagonals of non-rational generating functions. This theorem generalizes a recent result of Robertson, Saracino and Zeilberger, for which we also give another, more direct proof.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-12-16T23:39:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15" ], "keywords": [ "fixed points", "restricted permutations", "excedances", "non-rational generating functions", "theorem generalizes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.....12221E" } } }
