COMMENTS

Number of permutations of 1,2,...,k,n+1,n+2,...,2n-k that have no agreements with 1,...,n. For example consider 1234 and 1256, then n=4 and k=2, so T(4,2)=14. Compare A000255 for the case k=1. - Jon Perry (perry(AT)globalnet.co.uk), Jan 23 2004

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 21 2009: (Start)

T(n-1,k-1) is the number of non-derangements of {1,2,...,n} having smallest fixed point equal to k. Example: T(3,1)=4 because we have 4213, 4231, 3214, and 3241 (the permutations of {1,2,3,4} having smallest fixed equal to 2).

Row sums give the number of non-derangement permutations of {1,2,...,n} (A002467).

Mirror image of A068106.

Closely related to A134830, where each row has an extra term (see the Charalambides reference).

(End)

Sum[(k+1)*T(n,k), k=0..n]=A155521(n+1). - [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 18 2009]

FORMULA

t(n, k) =t(n, k-1)-t(n-1, k-1) =t(n, k+1)-t(n-1, k) =n*t(n-1, k)+k*t(n-2, k-1) =(n-1)*t(n-1, k-1)+(k-1)*t(n-2, k-2) =A060475(n, k)*(n-k)! - Henry Bottomley (se16(AT)btinternet.com), Mar 16 2001

T(n, k) = Sum_{ j>= 0} (-1)^j * binomial(k, j)*(n-j)! . - Philippe DELEHAM, May 29 2005

T(n,k)=Sum[d(n-j)*binom(n-k,j), j=0..n-k], where d(i)=A000166(i) are the derangement numbers. - Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 17 2009

EXAMPLE

1; 1,0; 2,1,1; 6,4,3,2; 24,18,14,11,9; 120,96,78,64,53,44; ...

MAPLE

d[0] := 1: for n to 15 do d[n] := n*d[n-1]+(-1)^n end do: T := proc (n, k) if k <= n then sum(binomial(n-k, j)*d[n-j], j = 0 .. n-k) else 0 end if end proc: for n from 0 to 9 do seq(T(n, k), k = 0 .. n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 17 2009]

MATHEMATICA

t[n_, k_] = Sum[(-1)^j*Binomial[k, j]*(n-j)!, {j, 0, n}]; Flatten[Table[t[n, k], {n, 0, 9}, {k, 0, n}]][[1 ;; 47]] (* From Jean-François Alcover, May 17 2011, after Ph. Deleham *)
