Let S_n denote the symmetric group on {1,2,...,n}. A permutation p_1p_2...p_n in S_n has a descent at position i (1 <= i <= n-1) if p_i > p_(i+1). The Eulerian numbers A008292 (with an offset of 0 in the column indexing) enumerate permutations by descents. We define a pair of permutations p_1p_2...p_n and q_1q_2...q_n to have a common descent at position i (1 <= i <= n-1) if both p_i > p_(i+1) and q_i > q_(i+1). For example, the permutations (3241) and (4231) in S_4 have common descents at positions i = 1 and i = 3. The table entry T(n,k) gives the number of pairs of permutations in the Cartesian product S_n x S_n with k common descents.
The generalized Stirling numbers associated with this triangle is A061691. See also A192722.

FORMULA

Generating function (Carlitz et al. 1976): Let J(z) = sum {n>=0} z^n/n!^2. Then (1-x)/(J(z*(x-1))-x) = 1 + sum {n>=1} (sum {k = 0..n-1} T(n,k)*x^k)*z^n/n!^2 = 1 + z + (3+x)*z^2/2!^2 + (19+16*x+x^2)*z^3/3!^2 + .... Define a polynomial sequence {p(n,x) }n>=0 by means of the generating function J(z)^x = sum {n>=0} p(n,x)*z^n/n!^2. The generalized Eulerian polynomials associated with the sequence {p(n,x)} as defined by [Koutras, 1994] are the polynomials sum {k = 0..n-1} T(n,k)*x^(n-k).
Relations with other sequences: The first column of the array (x*I-A008459)^-1 (I the identity matrix) is a sequence of rational functions whose numerator polynomials are the row generating polynomials for the present triangle. The change of variable x -> (x+1)/x followed by z -> x*z transforms the above bivariate generating function (1-x)/(J(z*(x-1))-x) into 1/(1+x-x*J(z)), which is the generating function for A192722. Equivalently, if we postmultiply the present triangle by Pascal's triangle A007318 we obtain the row reversed form of A192722: A192721 * A007318 = row reverse of A192722.
First column [1,3,19,211,3651,...] = A000275 (apart from initial term).
