Abstract

We prove the normality of the limiting distribution of the coefficients of the q-derangement numbers of type B based on the formula of Foata and Han that contains a parameter z. Setting the parameter z to zero, we are led to the case of ordinary q-derangement numbers. For z=1, we obtain the normality of the limiting distribution of the coefficients of the usual q-derangement numbers of type B.
