%N Triangle T(n,k) (n >= 1, 0 <= k <= n-1) read by rows: number of distinct permutations after k steps of the "optimist" algorithm.

%C Start with the n! permutations of order n. Apply an iteration of the "optimist" sorting algorithm. Count the distinct permutations, until all are sorted.

%C The length of each row is n.

%C The optimist algorithm is: rotate right all currently unsorted letters by the distance between the first unsorted one and its sorted position. An example is given in A345453.

%F T(n,0) = n!; T(n,n-1) = 1; T(n,n-2) = 1 for n > 2.
