Square involutions
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 14 (2011) no. 3
A square involution is a square permutation which is also an involution. In this paper we give the enumeration of square involutions, using purely combinatorial methods, by establishing a bijective correspondence with a class of lattice paths. As a corollary to our result, we enumerate various subclasses of square involutions, including the classes of $triangular, decomposable$, and fat involutions.
