Aunu-permutations, Involutions, permutation statisticsAbstract
An Involution is a Permutation which is equal to its own inverse. An involution is a permutation of a non-empty set which does not contain any permutation cycles of length greater than two (i.e., it consists exclusively of fixed points and transpositions). In this research, we obtain a generating function for the Aunu polynomials. The Aunu polynomials enumerate Aunu-permutation/Involutions according to their number of descents or their number of excedances. In this research, we generated Aunu polynomials of orders: , however, further investigation in the same pattern would lead to the generation of more polynomials of higher orders.
