We give an algebraic proof and a combinatorial proof of the recurrence relation. 1 Introduction Let Sn denote the symmetric group of degree n. Any element ơ of Sn is represented by the word ơ1 ơ2 ơn where ơi ơ i for i 1 2 . n. Two well-studied statistics on n are the descent number and the inversion number defined by n des ơ 22 x ơi Ơi 1 i 1 inv ơ 22 x ơi ơ 1Cí jCn respectively where ơn 1 0 and x P 1 or 0 depending on whether the statement P is true or not. It is well-known that des is Eulerian and that inv is Mahonian. The generating function of the Euler-Mahonian pair des inv over Sn is the following q- Eulerian p olynomial anes inv t q tdes 0qinvC . ơeSn THE ELECTRONIC JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS 17 2010 N22 1 It is clear that An t 1 An t the classical Eulerian polynomial.
