Now remove all that have cycles less than 4 long, if you only use cyclic notation and not array notation then of the n! possibly only (n-1)! need to be considered. Then calculate the Inverse, Vertical reflection, [VErt reflection inverse], Rotation by 180 degree and [ROt by 180 deg inverse]. If any of these already exist on the list then this permutation is not unique. Items in []'s are unnecessary since VE(x)=V(I(x))=I(V(x))=R(x) and RO(x)=R(I(x))=I(R(x))=V(x). There are some that are rotationally symmetric and some that are vertically symmetric (only possible for even lengths), but the majority are nonsymmetric. %H A089066 R. Jerome, Information for Unique Permutations. %e A089066 Examples of permutations: %e A089066 Rotationally symmetric: x1=R(x1)=124356=VE(x1), I(x1)=165342=V(x1)=RO(x1) %e A089066 Vertically symmetric: x2=V(x2)=132645=RO(x2)), I(x2)=154623=R(x2)=VE(x2) %e A089066 Nonsymmetric: x3=135264, I(x3)=146253, R(x3)=152463=VE(x3), V(x3)=136425=RO(x3) %e A089066 a(4)=3: there are 3 unique permutations of exactly length 4, out of a field of 4!=24 possible permutations. In cyclic notation they are designated (1234), (1243) and (1324). The others (1342), (1423) and (1432) are equal to inverses, vertical mirror images or 180 degree rotations of those 3. The remaining 18 have cycles of length 1, 2 or 3, such as (143)(2) having a permutation of length 3 and a fixed cycle and (14)(23) having 2 permutations of length 2. %Y A089066 Apart from initial terms, same as A099030. - Raymond L.
