Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

COMMENTS
A permutation (alpha,beta) from S_n X S_n acts on pairs (p,q) producing (alpha(p), beta(q)) yielding a permutation of the pairs which is factored into cycles to produce the number of cycles. Compare to Stirling numbers of the first kind, which compute the same statistic for Z(S_n).
