A152877 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} having k consecutive triples of the form (odd,even,odd) and (even,odd,even) (0<=k<=n-2).

Comments

Row n has n-1 entries (n>=2).

Sum of entries in row n is n! (A000142(n)).

T(n,0) = A152876(n).

T(n,n-2) = A092186(n).

T(2n+1,2n-2) = A047677(n) = 2*n!*(n+1)!. - Alois P. Heinz, Nov 10 2013

Formula

It would be good to have a formula or generating function for this sequence (a formula for column 0 is given in A152876).

Sum_{k>=1} k*T(n,k) = A329550(n). - Alois P. Heinz, Nov 16 2019

Example

T(3,1) = 2 because we have 123 and 321.
