A171996
A(n,k,m) is the number of permutations of an n-set with k disjoint cycles of length less than or equal to m, called the (n,k)-th m-restrained Stirling numbers of the first kind, and denoted by mS_1(n,k). The sequence shows the case of m=3.

A(n,k,m) is also the (n,k)-th entry in the matrix inverting the matrix consisting of the m-restrained Stirling numbers of the second kind.
Also the Bell transform of the sequence "g(n) = [1,-1,2][n] if n < 3, otherwise 0" (adding 1,0,0,.. as column 0). For the definition of the Bell transform see A264428. - Peter Luschny, Jan 19 2016
FORMULA
A(n,k,m) = Sum {(-1)^(n-k)*n!} /{1^{k_1}*2^{k_2}*...*m^{k_m}*(k_1!)*(k_2!)*...*(k_m!)}, where k_1 + 2*k_2 + ... + m*k_m = n and k_1 + k_2 + ... + k_m = k.
Recurrence A(n,k,m) = Sum_{i=1..m} (-1)^(i-1)*[n-1]_{i-1}*A(n-i,k-1,m).
A(n,k,m) = A(n-1,k-1,m) - (n-1)*A(n-1,k,m) - (-1)^m(n-1)*(n-2)*...*(n-m)*A(n-m-1,k-1,m).
Generating function f(t) = (1 + t - t^2/2 + t^3/3 + ... + (-1)^(m-1) t^m/m)^x, for an indeterminate x ===> the n-th derivative of f(t) at t=0, f^(n)(0) = Sum_{k=1..n} A(n,k,m)[x]_k, where [x]_k is the k-th falling factorial
T(n,k) = (-1)^(n-k)*n!*Sum_{j=0..k} C(j,n-k-j)*C(k,j)*3^(-n+k+j)*2^(n-k-2*j)/k!. - Vladimir Kruchinin, Oct 02 2019
