A129178 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations p of {1,2,...,n} such that invc(p)=k (n>=1; 0<=k<=(n-1)(n-2)/2); invc(p) is defined (by Carlitz) in the following way: express p in standard cycle form ( i.e. cycles ordered by increasing smallest elements with each cycle written with its smallest element in the first position), then remove the parentheses and count the inversions in the obtained word. 4

COMMENTS

Row n has 1+(n-1)(n-2)/2 terms. Row sums are the factorials (A000142). T(n,0)=2^(n-1)=A011782(n)=A000079(n-1). T(n,1)=(n-2)*2^(n-2)=A036289(n-2) for n>=2. T(n,k)=A121552(n,n+k).

It appears that Sum(k*T(n,k),k>=0)=A126673(n).

FORMULA

Generating polynomial of row n is P[n](t)=2(2+t)(2+t+t^2)...(2+t+t^2+...+t^(n-2)) for n>=3, P[1](t)=1, P[2](t)=2.

EXAMPLE

T(3,0)=4, T(3,1)=2 because we have 123=(1)(2)(3), 132=(1)(23), 213=(12)(3), 231=(123) with the resulting word (namely 123) having 0 inversions and 312=(132) and (321)=(13)(2) with the resulting word (namely 132) having 1 inversion.

MAPLE

s:=j->2+sum(t^i, i=1..j): for n from 1 to 9 do P[n]:=sort(expand(simplify(product(s(j), j=0..n-2)))) od: for n from 1 to 9 do seq(coeff(P[n], t, j), j=0..(n-1)*(n-2)/2) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
