Comments

Deutsch and Elizalde show in their paper that this automorphism converts certain properties concerning "tunnels" of Dyck path to another set of properties concerning the number of hills, even and odd rises, as well as the number of returns (A057515), thus proving the equidistribution of the said parameters.

This automorphism is implemented with function "tau" (Scheme code given below) that takes as its arguments an S-expression and a Catalan automorphism that permutes only the top level of the list (i.e., the top-level branches of a general tree, or the whole arches of a Dyck path) and thus when the permuting automorphism is applied to a list (parenthesization) of length 2n it induces some permutation of [1..2n].

This automorphism is induced in that manner by the automorphism *A127287 and likewise, *A127289 is induced by *A127285, *A057164 by *A057508, *A057501 by *A057509 and *A057502 by *A057510.

Note that so far these examples seem to satisfy the homomorphism condition, e.g., as *A127287 = *A127285 o *A057508 so is *A127291 = *A127289 o *A057164. and likewise, as *A057510 = *A057508 o *A057509 o *A057508, so is *A057502 = *A057164 o *A057501 o *A057164.

However, it remains open what are the exact criteria of the "picking automorphism" and the corresponding permutation that this method would induce a bijection. For example, if we give *A127288 (the inverse of *A127287) to function "tau" it will not induce *A127292 and actually not a bijection at all.

Instead, we have to compute the inverse of this automorphism with another, more specific algorithm that implements Deutsch's and Elizalde's description and is given in A127300.

Inverse: A127292. a(n) = A127289(A057164(n)) = A057164(A127299(A057164(n))). A127291(A057548(n)) = A072795(A127291(n)), A127291(A072795(n)) = A127307(A127291(A057502(n))) for all n >= 1. The number of cycles, maximum cycle sizes and LCM's of all cycle sizes in range [A014137(n-1)..A014138(n-1)] of this permutation are given by A127293, A127294 and A127295. Number of fixed points begins as 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, ...
