[seqfan] Re: True (?) reordering

[Marc LeBrun]

Derangement?  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derangement


BTW we might want to be careful with this terminology.  I think of
"reordering" or "ordering" as a distinctly different, and weaker, concept,
distinct from "permutation".  An ordering defines a predicate [<] on NxN,
whereas a permutation defines a map n --> a(n).  Every permutation is an
ordering, but not vice versa.  Lovely example:

(apropos which Freeman Dyson said, on the subject of chaos, "I know only one
rigorous theorem" http://www.ams.org/notices/200902/rtx090200212p.pdf )
