Singletons and Adjacencies of Set Partitions of Type B

William Y.C. Chen and David G.L. Wang

  Abstract:  We show that the joint distribution of the number of singleton pairs and the number of adjacency pairs is symmetric over the set partitions of type Bn without zero-block, in analogy with the result of Callan for ordinary partitions.
