(Greetings from The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences!)
A092238 Number of ways to write the permutation n,n-1,...,1 of 1,2,...,n as a product of n(n-1)/2 transpositions, where each transposition of 1,2,...,n occurs exactly once. 0
1, 1, 2, 64, 59712 (list; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)
OFFSET

1,3

COMMENTS

If we impose the additional condition on the product t_1 t_2 ... of transpositions that the number of inversions increases by one each time we multiply by a t_i, then the number of ways is given by A005118.

EXAMPLE

a(3)=2 because 321 = (1,2)(1,3)(2,3) = (2,3)(1,3)(1,2).
