A143947 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of [n] for which the sum of the positions of the right-to-left minima is k (1 <= k <= n*(n+1)/2).

Comments

Row n contains n(n+1)/2 entries, first n-1 of which are 0. Sum of entries in row n = n! = A000142(n).

Sum of entries in column n = A143948(n).

T(n,n) = (n-1)!.

Sum_{k=n..n(n+1)/2} k*T(n,k) = A001705(n).

Formula

Generating polynomial of row n is (n-1+t)(n-2+t^2)(n-3+t^3)...(1+t^(n-1))t^n.

Example

T(4,6) = 3 because we have 4132, 3142 and 2143 with right-to-left minima at positions 2 and 4.

Maple

P:=proc(n) options operator, arrow: sort(expand(product(t^(n-j)+j, j=0..n-1))) end proc: for n to 7 do seq(coeff(P(n), t, i), i=1..(1/2)*n*(n+1)) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form

Mathematica

T[n_] := CoefficientList[Product[n-k+t^k, {k, 1, n-1}] t^(n-1), t];
