%N Triangular array read by rows: T(n,k) = number of fixed points in the permutations of {1,2,...,n} that have exactly k cycles; n>=1, 1<=k<=n.

%C Row sums = n! which is the number of fixed points in all the permutations of {1,2,...,n}.

%C It appears that column k = 2 is A001048 (with different offset).

%C From _Olivier Gérard_, Oct 23 2012: (Start)

%C This is a multiple of the triangle of Stirling numbers of the first kind, A180013(n,k) = (n)*A132393(n-1,k).

%C Another interpretation is : T(n,n-k) is the total number of ways to insert the symbol n among the cycles of permutations of [n-1] with (n+1-k) cycles to form a canonical cycle representation of a permutation of [n]. For each cycle of length c, there are c places to insert a symbol, and for each permutation there is the possibility to create a new cycle (a fixed point).

%F E.g.f.: for column k: x*(log(1/(1-x)))^(k-1)/(k-1)!.

%F T(n, k) = [x^k] (n+1)!*hypergeom([-n,1-x],[1],1)) for n>0. # _Peter Luschny_, Jan 28 2016

%e T(4,3)= 12 because there are 12 fixed points in the permutations of 4 that have 3 cycles: (1)(2)(4,3); (1)(3,2)(4); (1)(4,2)(3); (2,1)(3)(4); (3,1)(2)(4); (4,1)(2)(3) where the permutations are represented in their cycle notation.
