M\'enage Numbers and M\'enage Permutations

Combinatorics 2015-02-24 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we study the combinatorial structures of straight and ordinary m\'enage permutations. Based on these structures, we prove four formulas. The first two formulas define a relationship between the m\'enage numbers and the Catalan numbers. The other two formulas count the m\'enage permutations by number of cycles.
