%N Triangle T(n, k) for the number of permutations of symmetric group S_n with an odd number of non-fixed point cycles, without k <= n particular fixed points.

%F T(n,k) = T(n,k-1) - T(n-1,k-1) with T(n,0) = A373340(n).

%F T(n,k) = (1/2)*(Sum_{j=0..k} (-1)^j * binomial(k,j) * (n-j)! - 2^(n-k-1)*(2-n-k)).

%F T(n,k) = (A047920(n, k) + 2^(n-k-1)*(n+k-2))/2. - _Peter Luschny_, Jul 28 2024

%e T(n,0) = A373340(n) = the number of permutations in S_n without k=0 particular fixed points (i.e., not filtered, so all permutations) with an odd number of cycles.

%e T(n,n) = A216779(n) = the number of permutations in S_n without k=n particular fixed points (i.e., filtered down to just the derangements) with an odd number of cycles.

%e T(2,k) = 1 because S_2 contains 1 permutation with an odd number of non-fixed point cycles without k=0,1 or 2 particular fixed points, namely the derangement (12).

%e T(3,2) = 3 because S_3 contains 3 permutations with an odd number of non-fixed point cycles without k=2 particular fixed points: say, without fixed points (1) and (2), namely (12)(3), (123), (132).
