cp's OEIS Frontend

This is a front-end for the Online Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences, made by Christian Perfect. The idea is to provide OEIS entries in non-ancient HTML, and then to think about how they're presented visually. The source code is on GitHub.

A186754 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of permutations of {1,2,...,n} having k increasing cycles (0<=k<=n). A cycle (b(1), b(2), ...) is said to be increasing if, when written with its smallest element in the first position, it satisfies b(1) < b(2) < b(3) < ... .

%F A186754 The 4-variate e.g.f. H(u,v,w,z) of the permutations of {1,2,...,n} with respect to size (marked by z), number of fixed points (marked by u), number of increasing cycles of length >=2 (marked by v), and number of nonincreasing cycles (marked by w) is given by H(u,v,w,z) = exp(u*z+v*(exp(z)-1-z)+w*(1-exp(z)))/(1-z)^w. Remark: the nonincreasing cycles are necessarily of length >=3. We have: G(t,z) = H(t,t,1,z).
