Forbidden Substrings In Circular K-Successions

Combinatorics 2017-02-10 v1

Abstract

In this note we define circular k-successions in permutations in one-line notation and count permutations that avoid substrings j(j+k) and j(j+k) (mod n). We also count circular permutations that avoid such substrings, and show that for substrings j(j+k) (mod n), the number of permutations depends on whether n is prime, and more generally, on whether n and k are relatively prime.
