Tilings, continued fractions, derangements, scramblings, and \(e\)
Journal of integer sequences, Tome 17 (2014) no. 2
In a recent book, Benjamin and Quinn ask about the combinatorial implications of Euler's continued fraction $e$ = [2,(1,1),(1,2),(2,3),(3,4),$\dots $]. In this paper, we explore those implications through two special types of permutations, namely, derangements and scramblings.
