Eulerian Polynomials and Excedance Statistics Via Continued Fractions

Abstract. It is well known that the permutation peak polynomials and descent polynomials are connected via a quadratic transformation. By rephrasing the latter formula with permutation cycle peaks and excedances we are able to prove a series of general formulas expressing polynomials counting permutations by various excedance statistics in terms of refined Eulerian polynomials.
