Each row is constructed by forming the partial sums of the previous row, reading from the right and repeating the final term.

FORMULA

T(n, k)=sum((-1)^i*binomial(k, 2i+1)*E[n-2i-1], i=0..floor((k-1)/2))= sum((-1)^i*binomial(n-k, 2i)*E[n-2i], i=0..floor((n-k)/2)) (k<n), T(n, n)=E[n]. T(n, n)=E[n]; T(n, k)=sum((-1)^i*binomial(n-k, 2i)*E[n-2i], i=0..floor((n-k)/2)) (k<n), T(n, n)=E[n]. where E(j)=A000111(j)=j!*[x^j]((sec(x)+tan(x)) are the up/down or Euler numbers. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), May 15 2004

EXAMPLE

T(4,3)=5 because we have 41325,41523,42314,42513 and 43512.

MAPLE

f:=series(sec(x)+tan(x), x=0, 25): E[0]:=1: for n from 1 to 20 do E[n]:=n!*coeff(f, x^n) od: T:=proc(n, k) if k<n then sum((-1)^i*binomial(k, 2*i+1)*E[n-2*i-1], i=0..floor((k-1)/2)) elif k=n then E[n] else 0 fi end: seq(seq(T(n, k), k=1..n), n=1..10);

MATHEMATICA

ro[1] = {1}; ro[n_] := ro[n] = (s = Accumulate[ Reverse[ ro[n-1]]]; Append[ s, Last[s]]); Flatten[ Table[ ro[n], {n, 1, 10}]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, Oct 03 2011 *)

PROG

(Haskell)

a008282 n k = a008282_tabl !! (n-1) !! (k-1)

a008282_row n = a008282_tabl !! (n-1)

a008282_tabl = iterate f [1] where

   f xs = zs ++ [last zs] where zs = scanl1 (+) (reverse xs)
