A121632 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of deco polyominoes of height n such that the bottom of the last column is at level k (n>=1; k>=0). A deco polyomino is a directed column-convex polyomino in which the height, measured along the diagonal, is attained only in the last column.

Comments

Row n has n-1 terms (n>=2). Row sums are the factorials (A000142). T(n,0)=A000522(n-1). Sum(k*T(n,k), k>=0)=A121633(n).

T(n,k)=number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} that have k left-to-right maxima not in the initial string of consecutive left-to-right maxima. Example: T(4,1)=7 because we have (13)24, (3)124, (3)142, (2)143, (23)14, (3)214 and (3)241; in each of these permutations 4 is the only left-to-right maximum not in the initial string of left-to-right maxima (shown between parentheses). T(4,2)=1 because we have 2134. - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 04 2008

Formula

The row generating polynomials satisfy P(n,t)=1-t+(t+n-1)P(n-1,t) for n>=2 with P(1,t)=1. T(n,k)=T(n-1,k-1)+(n-1)T(n-1,k) for k>=2.

Example

T(2,0)=2 because the deco polyominoes of height 2 are the vertical and horizontal dominoes; the last column of each starts at level 0.
