%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of 3-stack-sortable permutations of [n] with k descents (0 <= k <= n-1).

%C Bona has proven that the polynomial Sum_{k=0..n-1} T(n,k)*x^k is always symmetric and unimodal. He has conjectured that it has only real roots.

%F See the paper "Counting 3-Stack-Sortable Permutations" for a recurrence that generates this sequence.

%e T(5,1)=25 because there are 25 3-stack-sortable permutations of {1,2,3,4,5} with exactly 1 descent.

%Y Row sums give A134664.

%K nonn,tabl

%O 1,5
