Abstract:
We give explicit formulae for the probability $P(n,k)$ that the random
equiprobable permutation of degree $n$ has an invariant $k$-subset,
$1\leq k\leq n/2$, and their asymptotic representations
are found for any fixed $k$ as $n\to\infty$. It is shown that under these
conditions
$$
P(n,k)\leq 1-k\exp\left\{-\sum_{j=1}^k {1\over j}\right\}+o(1),
$$
and hence
$$
P(n,k)\leq 1-e^{-1}+o(1).
$$
