A092580 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations p of [n] in which exactly the first k terms satisfy the up-down property, i.e. p(1)< p(2), p(2)>p(3), p(3)<p(4), ... 0

FORMULA

T(n, k)=n!*[(k+1)*E(k)-E(k+1)]/(k+1)! for k<n and T(n, n)=E(n), where tan(x)+sec(x)=Sum[E(n)x^n/n!, n=0..infinity] (i.e. E(n)=A000111(n)).

EXAMPLE

T(4,3)=3 because 1432, 2431, 3421 are the only permutations of [4] in which exactly the first 3 entries satisfy the up-down property.
