%N From least significant term in expansion of E( tr (X'*X)^n ), X rectangular and Gaussian. Also number of types of sequential n-swap moves for traveling salesman problem.

%C Let X be a p X q rectangular matrix with random Gaussian entries. Expand E( tr (X'*X)^n ) as a polynomial in p and q for fixed n. Sequence gives coefficient of least significant term in polynomial.

%C There should be a reference to a paper by Guy et al. (?) that gives a formula.

%C An n-swap move consists of the removal of n edges and addition of n different edges which result in a new tour. A sequential n-swap is one in which the union of the n removed and n added edges forms a single cycle. The type can be characterized by how the n segments of the original tour formed by the removal are reassembled.

%F Hanlon et al. give a formula (it would be nice to give it here).

%F A complicated formula from Hanlon is given on page 23 of Helsgaun. - _Rob Pratt_, Mar 30 2007

%F Hanlon et al. provide the correct formula for these coefficients at the end of Section 5 of their paper (see p. 168) but the one given by Helsgaun in his paper (see p. 23) is wrong: the term (k-a+b-1) in the inner sum should be replaced by (k-a-b+1)!. - Herman Jamke (hermanjamke(AT)fastmail.fm), Aug 01 2010
