%C Number of permutations of 3 distinct letters (ABC) each with n copies such that one (1) fixed points. E.g., if AAAAABBBBBCCCCC n=3*5 letters permutations then one fixed points n5=15150. - _Zerinvary Lajos_, Feb 02 2006

%C The definition uses notations of Riordan (1958), except for use of n instead of p. - _M. F. Hasler_, Sep 22 2015
