FORMULA
|
T(n,k) = 2*Sum_{p=1..k} C(n-1,p-1) - 1 for k >=1.
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
T(5,2) = 9 because there are exactly 9 order-preserving or order-reversing full contraction mappings (of a 5-chain) with (right) waist exactly 2, namely: (11112), (11122), (11222), (12222), (21111), (22111), (22211), (22221), (22222).
