Permutations and the divisor graph of $[1,n]$
Nathan G. McNew · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2022
Let $S_{\rm div}(n)$ denote the set of permutations $π$ of $n$ such that for each $1\leq j \leq n$ either $j \mid π(j)$ or $π(j) \mid j$. These permutations can also be viewed as vertex-disjoint directed cycle covers of the divisor graph $\mathcal{D}_{[1,n]}$ on vertices $v_1, \ldots, v_n$ with an edge between $v_i$ and $v_j$ if $i\mid j$ or $j \mid i$. We improve on recent results of Pomerance by showing $c_d = \lim_{n \to \infty }\left(\# S_{\rm div}(n)\right)^{1/n}$ exists and that $2.069
