A123513 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of [n] having k small descents (n>=1; 0<=k<=n-1). A small descent in a permutation (x_1,x_2,...,x_n) is a position i such that x_i - x_(i+1) =1. 1

COMMENTS

T(n,1)=A000255(n-1); T(n,2)=A000166 (the derangement numbers); T(n,3)=A000274(n); T(n,4)=A000313(n); T(n,5)=A001260(n);

This triangle is essentially A010027 (ascending pairs in permutations of [n]) with a different offset. The same triangle gives the number of permutations of [n] having k unit ascents (n>=1; 0<=k<=n-1). For permutations sorted by number of non-unitary (i.e. >1) descents (also called "big" descents), see A120434. For permutations sorted by number of unitary moves (i.e. ascent or descent), see A001100. - Olivier GERARD (olivier.gerard(AT)gmail.com), Oct 09 2007

With offsets n=0 (k=0) this is a binomial convolution triangle, a Sheffer triangle of the Appell type: ((exp(-x))/(1-x)^2),x). See the e.g.f. given below.

FORMULA

G.f.=exp(-x+tx)/(1-x)^2 (if offset is 0), i.e. T(n,k)=(n-1)!*[x^(n-1) t^k]exp(-x+tx)/(1-x)^2.

T(n,k)=binomial(n-1,k)*A000255(n-1), n-1>=k>=0, else 0.

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=3 because we have 14/3/2, 2/14/3 and 3/2/14 (the small descents are shown by a /).

MAPLE

G:=exp(-x+t*x)/(1-x)^2: Gser:=simplify(series(G, x=0, 15)): for n from 0 to 10 do P[n+1]:=sort(n!*coeff(Gser, x, n)) od: for n from 1 to 11 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, k), k=0..n-1) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
