Abstract

Let \(\mathfrak{S}_n\) be the semigroup of mappings of an \(n\)-element set \(X\) into itself. For a set \(D\subseteq\mathbb N\), denote by \(\mathfrak{S}_n(D)\) the family of those mappings in \(\mathfrak{S}_n\) whose component sizes belong to \(D\). Suppose that a random mapping \(\sigma_n=\sigma_n(D)\) is uniformly distributed on \(\mathfrak{S}_n(D)\). We consider a class of sets \(D\subseteq\mathbb N\) with positive densities in the set \(\mathbb N\) of positive integers. Let \(\zeta_n\) be the number of components of the random mapping \(\sigma_n\). We find asymptotic formulas for the expectation and variance of the random variable \(\zeta_n\) as \(n\to\infty\).
