Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations p of [n] in which the length of the longest initial segment avoiding the 123-pattern is equal to k.
%C Row sums are the factorial numbers (A000142).
%C Diagonal is A000108.
%C T(n,n-1) = binomial(2n-2,n-3) = A002694(n-1).

%e T(4,3) = 6 because 1324, 1423, 2134, 2314, 3124 and 4123 are the only permutations of [4] in which the length of the longest initial segment avoiding the 123-pattern is equal to 3 (i.e., the first three entries do not contain the 123-pattern but all 4 of them do).
