COMMENTS

There are 2 versions of Euler's triangle:
* A008292 Classic version of Euler's triangle used by Comtet (1974).
* A173018 Version of Euler's triangle used by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik in Concrete Math. (1990).
Euler's triangle rows and columns indexing conventions:
* A008292 The rows and columns of the Eulerian triangle are both indexed starting from 1. (Classic version: used in the classic books by Riordan and Comtet.)
* A173018 The rows and columns of the Eulerian triangle are both indexed starting from 0.(Graham et al.)
Number of permutations of n letters with exactly 3 descents.

FORMULA

From Mike Zabrocki, Nov 12 2004: (Start)
G.f.: x^4*(1 +6*x -43*x^2 +44*x^3 +52*x^4 -72*x^5)/((1-x)^4*(1-2*x)^3*(1-3*x)^2*(1-4*x)).
a(n) = (6*4^n - 6*(n + 1)*3^n + 3*(n)*(n + 1)*2^n - (n - 1)*(n)*(n + 1))/6. (End)
If n>3 is prime, then a(n) == 1 (mod n). A generalization: if a_t(n) denote the number of permutations of n letters with exactly t descents (column t+1 of Euler's triangle A008292), then, for prime n>t, we have a(n) == 1 (mod n). - Vladimir Shevelev, Sep 26 2010
E.g.f.: exp(x)*(exp(3*x) - (1 + 3*x)*exp(2*x) + 2*(x + 2*x^2/2!)*exp(x) - x^2/2! - x^3/3!). - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 17 2017

There is one permutation of 4 with exactly 3 descents (4321).
There are 26 permutations of 5 with 3 descents: 15432, 21543, 25431, 31542, 32154, 32541, 35421, 41532, 42153, 42531, 43152, 43215, 43251, 43521, 45321, 51432, 52143, 52431, 53142, 53214, 53241, 53421, 54132, 54213, 54231, 54312. - Neven Juric, Jan 21 2010.
