Factorizations of an n-cycle into two n-cycles
October 2003
European Journal of Combinatorics , Volume 24 Issue 7
Publisher: Academic Press Ltd.
Additional Information:full citation, abstract, references, index terms

We prove by elementary combinatorial methods that the number of factorizations of an n-cycle (with n odd) into the product of two n-cycles is 2(n - 1)!/(n + 1). Moreover, we generalize our method to the factorization ...
