%N Triangle T(n,k) of rencontres numbers (number of permutations of n elements with k fixed points).

%C This is a binomial convolution triangle (Sheffer triangle) of the Appell type: (exp(-x)/(1-x),x), i.e., the e.g.f. of column k is (exp(-x)/(1-x))*(x^k/k!). See the e.g.f. given by V. Jovovic below. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 21 2008

%C The formula T(n,k) = binomial(n,k)*A000166(n-k), with the derangements numbers (subfactorials) A000166 (see also the Charalambides reference) shows the Appell type of this triangle. - _Wolfdieter Lang_, Jan 21 2008

%C T(n,k) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} having k pairs of consecutive right-to-left minima (0 is considered a right-to-left minimum for each permutation). Example: T(4,2)=6 because we have 1243, 1423, 4123, 1324, 3124 and 2134; for example, 1324 has right-to-left minima in positions 0-1,3-4 and 2134 has right-to-left minima in positions 0,2-3-4, the consecutive ones being joined by "-". - _Emeric Deutsch_, Mar 29 2008

%C T is an example of the group of matrices outlined in the table in A132382--the associated matrix for the sequence aC(0,1). - _Tom Copeland_, Sep 10 2008

%C A refinement of this triangle is given by A036039. - _Tom Copeland_, Nov 06 2012

%C This triangle equals (A211229(2*n,2*k)) n,k >= 0. - _Peter Bala_, Dec 17 2014

%F The lowering and raising operators of this Appell sequence of polynomials P(n,x) are L = d/dx and R = x + d/dL log[exp(-L)/(1-L)] = x-1 + 1/(1-L) = x + L + L^2 - ... such that L P(n,x) = n P(n-1,x) and R P(n,x) = P(n+1,x).

%F P(n,x) = (1-L)^(-1) exp(-L) x^n = (1+L+L^2+...)(x-1)^n = n! Sum_{k=0..n} (x-1)^k / k!.

%F The formalism of A133314 applies to the pair of entries A008290 and A055137.

%F The polynomials of this pair P_n(x) and Q_n(x) are umbral compositional inverses; i.e., P_n(Q.(x)) = x^n = Q_n(P.(x)), where, e.g., (Q.(x))^n = Q_n(x).
