Derangements and the p-Adic Incomplete Gamma Function

Abstract. The derangement-counting sequence satisfies strong p-adic regularity properties. We prove that these p-adic properties generalize to various other derangement-like sequences. To fit these observations into a unified framework, we show the existence of a p-adic analogue of the incomplete gamma function.
