Two Involutions for Signed Excedance Numbers

Abstract. Two involutions on permutations and derangements are constructed. They lead to a direct evaluation of some signed Eulerian polynomials on permutations and derangements. The latter formulas, combined with the exponential formula, give a new derivation of the corresponding generating functions.
