Stirling permutations, cycle structure of permutations and perfect matchings (Q907233)

Summary: In this paper we provide constructive proofs that the following three statistics are equidistributed: the number of ascent plateaus of Stirling permutations of order \(n\), a weighted variant of the number of excedances in permutations of length \(n\) and the number of blocks with even maximal elements in perfect matchings of the set \(\{1,2,3,\dots,2n\}\).
