Abstract

A random mapping (T,Pj) of a finite set V into itself is studied. We give a new proof of the fundamental lemma of [6]. Our method leads to the derivation of several results which cannot be deduced from [6]. In particular we determine the distribution of the number of components, cyclical points and ancestors of a given point.
