Abstract

In this paper we study different restrictions imposed over the set of permutations of size n, Sn, and for specific classes of restrictions study the cycle structure of corresponding permutations. More specifically, we prove that for any fixed positive integer k, the number of k-cycles of a uniformly chosen permutation π∈ Sn with the restriction "π(i) ≥ i-1" for i ∈ \2, …, n\ has a Normal asymptotic distribution. We further prove that this result translates into CLTs regarding multiplicities of fixed-size parts of a uniformly selected composition of n.
