We define and consider $k$-distant crossings and nestings for matchings and set partitions, which are a variation of crossings and nestings in which the distance between vertices is important. By modifying an involution of Kasraoui and Zeng (Electronic J. Combinatorics 2006, research paper 33), we show that the joint distribution of $k$-distant crossings and nestings is symmetric. We also study the numbers of $k$-distant noncrossing matchings and partitions for small $k$, which are counted by well-known sequences, as well as the orthogonal polynomials related to $k$-distant noncrossing matchings and partitions. We extend Chen et al.'s $r$-crossings and enhanced $r$-crossings.

Nous définissons les notions de croisements et imbrications $k$-distants sur les appariements et les partitions d'ensemble, qui sont une variation sur les notions usuelles prenant en compte la distance entre les sommets. En modifiant une involution de Kasraoui et Zeng (Electronic J. Combinatorics 2006, research paper 33), nous montrons que la distribution jointe des croisements et imbrications $k$-distants est symétrique. Nous étudions le nombre d'involutions et de partitions sans croisement $k$-distant pour de petites valeurs de $k$, qui sont des suites d'entiers bien connues, ainsi que les polynômes orthogonaux qui leur sont reliés. Nous étendons les notions de $r$-croisements et $r$-croisements améliorés dues à Chen et al.
