Keywords:
random permutation; cycle structure; Poisson distribution; factorial moment
Summary:
Inspired by probabilistic number theory, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions under which the numbers of cycles with lengths in arbitrary sets posses an asymptotic limit law. The approach can be extended to deal with the counts of components with the size constraints for other random combinatorial structures.
