COMMENTS

A prefix transposition refers to the displacement of the first f elements of the permutation. The prefix transposition distance is the minimum number of such moves required to transform a given permutation into the identity permutation.

EXAMPLE

a(4,2)=3 because the only 3 permutations that require 2 prefix transpositions to be sorted are (1 4 3 2), (2 1 4 3) and (4 3 2 1)
