Abstract

Consider an n-set, say Xn = {1,2,⋯, n}. An exponential generating function and recurrence relation for the number of subpermutations of Xn, whose orbits are of size at most k ≥ 0 are obtained. Similar results for the number of nilpotent subpermutations of nilpotency index at most k, and exactly k are also given, along with arithmetic and asypmtotic formulas for these numbers. 1 2.
