A Determinant of Stirling Cycle Numbers Counts Unlabeled Acyclic Single-Source Automata [PDF]
Discrete Mathematics & Theoretical Computer Science, 2008 We show that a determinant of Stirling cycle numbers counts unlabeled acyclic single-source automata. The proof involves a bijection from these automata to certain marked lattice paths and a sign-reversing involution to evaluate the determinant.

The variance of the Stirling cycle numbers
, 2005 We show that the probability that two permutations of $n$ letters have the same number of cycles is \[\sim \frac{1}{2\sqrt{ \log{n}}}.\]

Thermoeconomic analysis of an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle [PDF]
The European Physical Journal B - Condensed Matter and Complex Systems, 2006 In this paper an analysis of the Stirling cycle in thermoeconomic terms is developed using the entropy generation. In the thermoeconomic optimization of an irreversible Stirling heat pump cycle the F function has been introduced to evaluate the optimum for the higher and lower sources temperature ratio in the cycle: this ratio represents the value ...
