%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of [n] for which the shortest cycle length is k (1<=k<=n).

%C Row sums are the factorials (A000142).

%C Sum(T(n,k), k=2..n) = A000166(n) (the derangement numbers).

%C T(n,1) = A002467(n).

%C T(n,n) = (n-1)! (A000142).

%C Sum(k*T(n,k),k=1..n) = A028417(n).

%C For the statistic "length of the longest cycle", see A126074.
