%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} having genus k (see first comment for definition of genus).

%C The genus g(p) of a permutation p of {1,2,...,n} is defined by g(p)=(1/2)[n+1-z(p)-z(cp')], where p' is the inverse permutation of p, c = 234...n1 = (1,2,...,n), and z(q) is the number of cycles of the permutation q.

%C The sum of the entries in row n is A000085(n).

%C T(n,0)=A001006(n) (the Motzkin numbers).

%e T(4,1)=1 because p=3412 is the only involution of {1,2,3,4} with genus 1. This follows easily from the fact that a permutation p of {1,2,...,n} has genus 0 if and only if the cycle decomposition of p gives a noncrossing partition of {1,2,...,n} and each cycle of p is increasing (see Lemma 2.1 of the Dulucq-Simion reference). [Also, for p=3412=(13)(24) we have cp'=2341*3412=4123=(1432) and so g(p)=(1/2)(4+1-2-1)=1.]
