Description
The circular peak set of a permutation $σ$ is the set $\{σ(i)\mid σ(i-1)<σ(i)>σ(i+1)\}$. In this paper, we focus on the enumeration problems for permutations by circular peak sets. Let $cp_n(S)$ denote the number of the permutations of order $n$ which have the circular peak set $S$. For the case with $|S|=0,1,2$, we derive the explicit formulas for $cp_n(S)$. We also obtain some recurrence relations for the sequence $cp_n(S)$ and give the formula for $cp_n(S)$ in the general case.
