Minimal transitive factorizations of a permutation of type (p,q)Article
Authors: Jang Soo Kim 1; Seunghyun Seo 2; Heesung Shin 3
We give a combinatorial proof of Goulden and Jackson's formula for the number of minimal transitive factorizations of a permutation when the permutation has two cycles. We use the recent result of Goulden, Nica, and Oancea on the number of maximal chains of annular noncrossing partitions of type B.
