%N Permutation breadth triangle: B(n,k) is the number of permutations w in S_n with breadth(w) = k, where breadth(w) = min({ |i-j|+|w(i)-w(j)| : 1 <= i < j <= n }).

%C B(n,1) = 0 for all n, because for any 1<=i,j<=n and any w in S_n, 2 <= |i-j|+|w(i)-w(j)| <= breadth(w).

%e For n=4, k=3, the B(4,3) = 2 permutations in S_4 with breadth 3 are [2,4,1,3] and [3,1,4,2] in one-line notation.
