An inverse permutation is a permutation in which each number and the number of the place which it occupies are exchanged. For example,
(1)
| |||
(2)

are inverse permutations, since the positions of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 in are , and the positions of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 in are likewise (Muir 1960, p. 5).
The inverse permutation of a given permutation can be computed in the Wolfram Language using InversePermutation[p].
Inverse permutations are sometimes also called conjugate or reciprocal permutations (Muir 1960, p. 4).
