A145877 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of [n] for which the shortest cycle length is k (1<=k<=n). 2

COMMENTS

Row sums are the factorials (A000142).

Sum(T(n,k),k=2..n)=A000166(n) (the derangement numbers).

T(n,1)=A002467(n).

T(n,n)=(n-1)! (A000142).

Sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n)=A028417(n).

For the statistic "length of the longest cycle", see A126074.

FORMULA

E.g.f. for column k is [1-exp(-x^k/k)]*exp[ -sum(x^j/j,j=1..k-1)]/(1-x) (Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs).

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=3 because we have 3412=(13)(24), 2143=(12)(34) and 4321=(14)(23).

Triangle starts:

1;

1,  1;

4,  0,  2;

15, 3,  0,  6;

76, 20, 0,  0, 24;

455,105,40, 0, 0,  120;

MAPLE

F:=proc(k) options operator, arrow: (1-exp(-x^k/k))*exp(-(sum(x^j/j, j = 1 .. k-1)))/(1-x) end proc: for k to 16 do g[k]:= series(F(k), x=0, 16) end do: T:= proc(n, k) options operator, arrow: factorial(n)*coeff(g[k], x, n) end proc: for n to 11 do seq(T(n, k), k=1..n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form
