Peter Kagey, Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..10011 (first 141 rows, flattened)

FORMULA
T(n,k) = n! if n <= k, otherwise T(n,k) = n*T(n-1,k) - A068424(n-1,k)*T(n-k-1,k).
T(n,k) = Sum_{j=1..k} A126074(n,j). - Alois P. Heinz, Jul 08 2022
EXAMPLE
For n = 3 and k = 2, the T(3,2) = 4 permutations in S_3 where all cycle lengths are less than or equal to 2 are:
(1)(2)(3), (12)(3), (13)(2), and (1)(23).
