Counting stabilized-interval-free permutations
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 7 (2004) no. 1
A stabilized-interval-free (SIF) permutation on $[n] = { 1,2,\dots ,n }$ is one that does not stabilize any proper subinterval of $[n]$. By presenting a decomposition of an arbitrary permutation into a list of SIF permutations, we show that the generating function $A(x)$ for SIF permutations satisfies the defining property: [x^n-1] $A(x)^n = n$! . We also give an efficient recurrence for counting SIF permutations.
