If pi is any permutation of [n] with exactly 1 descent, then the number of preimages of pi under West's stack-sorting map that have k+1 valleys is at most T(n,k).

FORMULA
|
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=1..n-2} Sum_{j=1..k} V(i,j) * V(n-1-i,m+1-j), where V(i,j) = 2^{i-2j+1} * (1/j) * binomial(i-1, 2j-2) * binomial(2j-2, j-1) are the numbers found in the triangle A091894.

EXAMPLE
|
Triangle begins:
1;
4;
12, 2;
32, 16;
80, 80, 5;
192, 320, 60;
448, 1120, 420, 14;
...
T(1,1) = 1 because the permutation 213 has one preimage under West's stack-sorting map (namely, 231), and this permutation has 2 valleys.
