Comments

A stretching pair of a permutation p in S_n is a pair (i,j) (1 <= i < j <= n) satisfying p(i) < i < j < p(j). For example, for the permutation 31254 in S_5 the pair (2,4) is stretching because p(2) = 1 < 2 < 4 < p(4) = 5.

Sum of entries in row n is (n-1)! = A000142(n-1).

T(n,0) = A136127(n-1).

Sum_{k>=1} k*T(n,k) = n!*(n-3)/24 = A061206(n-3).

Examples

			T(4,1) = 1 because 3142 has 1 stretching pair (2,3); the other five 1-cycles in S_4 have no stretching pairs.

Formula

The values of T(n,k) have been found by straightforward counting (with Maple). The Maple program (improvable!) yields the generating polynomial of the specified row n. Within the program, sp(p) is the number of stretching pairs of the permutation p.
