A138770 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} such that there are exactly k entries between the entries 1 and 2 (n>=2, 0<=k<=n-2). 3
2, 4, 2, 12, 8, 4, 48, 36, 24, 12, 240, 192, 144, 96, 48, 1440, 1200, 960, 720, 480, 240, 10080, 8640, 7200, 5760, 4320, 2880, 1440, 80640, 70560, 60480, 50400, 40320, 30240, 20160, 10080, 725760, 645120, 564480, 483840, 403200, 322560, 241920 (list; table; graph; refs; listen; history; internal format)

COMMENTS

Sum of row n = n! = A000142(n).

T(n,0)=2(n-1)! = A052849(n-1)

T(n,1)=A052582(n-2).

T(n,2)=A052609(n-2).

T(n,3)=12*A005990(n-3).

T(n,4)=48*A061206(n-5).

T(n,n-2)=2(n-2)! (A052849).

Sum(k*T(n,k),k=0..n-2)=n!(n-2)/3=A090672(n-1).

The expected value of k is (n-2)/3 [From Geoffrey Critzer (critzer.geoffrey(AT)usd443.org), Dec 19 2009]

FORMULA

T(n,k)=2*(n-k-1)(n-2)!

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=4 because we have 1342, 1432, 2341 and 2431.

Triangle starts:

2;

4,2;

12,8,4;

48,36,24,12;

240,192,144,96,48;

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if n-2 < k then 0 else (2*n-2*k-2)*factorial(n-2) end if end proc; for n from 2 to 10 do seq(T(n, k), k=0..n-2) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
