<p>Is there a closed form solution for Circular permutations of N objects of n1 are identical of one type, n2 are identical of another type and so on, such that n1+n2+n3+..... = N?</p>
http://mathoverflow.net/questions/86709/circular-permutations-with-identical-objects/86724#86724Answer by Ira Gessel for Circular Permutations With Identical ObjectsIra Gessel2012-01-26T14:32:29Z2012-01-26T14:32:29Z<p>This is a straightforward application of Pólya's theorem. The answer is the coefficient of $x_1^{n_1} x_2^{n_2}\dots$ in the cycle index of the cyclic group of order $N$, which is
$$\frac{1}{N}\sum_{d | N} \phi(d) p_d^{N/d}.$$
Here $\phi$ is Euler's totient function and $p_d$ is the power sum symmetric function $x_1^d + x_2^d+\cdots$.</p>

<a href="http://books.google.fr/books?hl=fr&lr=&id=83odtWY4eogC&oi=fnd&pg=PR5&dq=combinatorial+species+and+tree-like+structures&ots=m-87VMAq30&sig=ATCbMxkTlzZ0dleFKfBayefCXK8#v=onepage&q=combinatorial%20species%20and%20tree-like%20structures&f=false" rel="nofollow">Combinatorial species and tree-like structures</a>
by Bergeron, Labelle and Leroux.</p>
<p>Or the original article by A. Joyal "Une théorie combinatoire des séries formelles." Adv. in Math. 1981</p>
<p>Si tu n'y a pas access je te conseil de jeter un oeil à <a href="http://bergeron.math.uqam.ca/Site/bergeron_anglais_files/livre_combinatoire.pdf" rel="nofollow">Introduction to the Theory of Species of Structures</a> disponible sur le web (lien clickable).</p>
<p>Dans le formalisme des espèces, ton problème est décrit par l'espèce des cycles $C$. Chacune des sources que je t'ai donné explique comment traduire cette description en séries génératrices, les preuves sont combinatoires.</p>
<p>Si tu veux un dénombrement étiqueté,
$$
\begin{aligned}
C(t) &= \log\left(\frac{1}{1-t}\right) = t + \tfrac{1}{2}t^2+\tfrac{1}{3}t^3+... \\
C(t_1+t_2+t_3+...) &= -\log\left(1-t_1-t_2-t_3-...\right)\\
\end{aligned}
$$
La solution que tu cherche est,
$$
-\frac{\partial^{n_1}}{\partial t_1^{n_1}} ... \frac{\partial^{n_k}}{\partial t_1^{n_k}}\log\left(1-t_1-t_2-t_3-...\right)
$$
évalué en $t_1 = 0$, ..., $t_k= 0$, ...</p>
<p>Pour le dénombrement non-étiqueté c'est bien comme dit Ira.</p>
