摘要
Let s be a permutation on n letters. We say that a permutation t is an even (respectively, odd) kth root of s if t(k) = s and t is an even (respectively, odd) permutation. In this article, we obtain generating functions for the number of even and odd kth roots of a permutation, in terms of its cycle type. Our result implies known generating functions of Moser and Wyman and also some generating functions for sequences in the On-line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS).
