A129534 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) = number of permutations p of 1,...,n, with min(|p(i)-p(i-1)|, i=2..n) = k (n>=2, k>=1). 4

COMMENTS
Row n has floor(n/2) terms. Row sums are the factorial numbers (A000142). T(n,1) = A129535(n). Sum(T(n,k), k>=2) = A002464(n). If, in the definition, min is replaced by max, then one obtains A064482.

EXAMPLE
T(4,2) = 2 because we have 3142 and 2413.
Triangle starts:
2;
6;
22, 2;
106, 14;
630, 88, 2;
4394, 614, 32;
