%0 Journal Article %T Stirling permutations, cycle structures of permutations and perfect matchings %A Shi-Mei Ma %A Yeong-Nan Yeh %J Mathematics %D 2015 %I arXiv %X In this paper we provide a unified combinatorial approach to establish a connection between Stirling permutations, cycle structures of permutations and perfect matchings. The main tool of our investigations is MY-sequences. In particular, we discover that the Eulerian polynomials have a simple combinatorial interpretation in terms of some statistics on MY-sequences. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.06601v2
