A Note on the Stanley Distribution

Combinatorics 2010-01-25 v1

Abstract

Richard Stanley proved that the centralized/normalized version of the random variable "length of largest up-down subsequence" in a random permutation of length n is asymptotically normal. We go beyond and present a more refined asymptotic formula for the moments.
