COMMENTS

The barycenter or signcenter of a permutation is the sum of the signs of the difference between initial and final positions of the objects.

FORMULA

a(n) = Sum_{k=0..floor(n/2)} binomial(n, n-2*k)*A320337(k). - Maxwell Jiang, Dec 19 2018 (added by editors)

a(n) ~ sqrt(3) * (1 + exp(-2)*(-1)^n) * n^n / exp(n). - Vaclav Kotesovec, Oct 29 2020

EXAMPLE

(4,1,3,5,2) has difference (3,-1,0,1,-3) and signs (1,-1,0,1,-1) with total 0.

MAPLE

b:= proc(s, t) option remember; (n-> `if`(abs(t)>n, 0, `if`(n=0, 1,

add(b(s minus {j}, t+signum(n-j)), j=s))))(nops(s))

end:

a:= n-> b({$1..n}, 0):

seq(a(n), n=0..14); # Alois P. Heinz, Jul 31 2018

MATHEMATICA

E1[n_ /; n >= 0, 0] = 1;

E1[n_, k_] /; k < 0 || k > n = 0;

E1[n_, k_] := E1[n, k] = (n-k) E1[n-1, k-1] + (k+1) E1[n-1, k];

b[n_] := Sum[(-1)^(n-k) E1[n+k, n] Binomial[2n, n-k], {k, 0, n}];

a[n_] := Sum[Binomial[n, n-2k] b[k], {k, 0, n/2}];

a /@ Range[0, 150] (* Jean-François Alcover, Oct 29 2020, after Peter Luschny in A320337 *)
