What is the name of this special type of n-tuple?

Consider the set, $S$, of $n$-tuples defined inductively as follows:

• $(1, 2, \ldots, n) \in S$
• if $(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_i, x_{i+1}, \ldots, x_n) \in S$, then $(x_{i+1}, \ldots, x_{n}, x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{i}) \in S$

What is the name of these types of $n$-tuples?

Note, the $n$-tuple $(2, 4, 1, 3)$ demonstrates that $S$ is a strict subset of all permutations.

I'm not sure, but it seems that $S$ contains only one element, namely $(1,2,\dots,n)$. Indeed $(1,2,3,4) = (2,3,4,1) = (3,4,2,1) = (4,1,2,3)$. Could you clarify that? –  Najib Idrissi May 28 '11 at 6:20
"Note the sequence ... subset of all permutations." consider the singleton, or the pair. Then $S$ is exactly all the permutations. –  Asaf Karagila May 28 '11 at 6:23
@zulon -- I am using parenthesis to express a sequence, so $(1, 2) \neq (2, 1)$. –  dsg May 28 '11 at 6:26
@Asaf Karagila -- You are correct for $n = 1, 2, 3$ it is true that $S$ is the set of all permutations. But when $n \geq 4$, I believe it is a subset. –  dsg May 28 '11 at 6:27
Some confusion seems to have arisen because the question uses the notation for permutations and originally said "permutations"; this has now been changed to "sequences" (except for one instance; this seems to be an oversight). Note that all comments above were made before this change. Also, in zulon's comment, $(3,4,2,1)$ should be $(3,4,1,2)$. –  joriki May 28 '11 at 7:14

These are cyclic permutations of the tuple $(1, 2, \ldots, n)$.

Thanks, @joriki.
