Une autre interprétation du nombre des dérangements

Abstract. Another class of permutations in a one-to-one correspondence with the derangements is introduced that provides a natural interpretation of the usual recurrence: d(n)=nd(n-1)+1 (n even) and d(n)=nd(n-1)-1 (n odd). Those permutations are exactly those whose Lehmer codings start with an even number of 1's.
