Comments

The rank k of a permutation of n elements is the first position of a fixed point. If there is no fixed point then k=n+1 and R(n,n+1)=A000166(n), the derangements numbers (subfactorials).

Formula

R(n,k)=0 if n+1<k, R(n,n+1)=D(n),n>=0, with D(n):=A000166(n) the derangements numbers (subfactorials), R(n,k)=sum((-1)^j*binomial(k-1,j)*(n-j-1)!,j=0..k-1), k from 1,..,n.

Subtriangle without diagonal k=n+1: R(n,k)=sum(binomial(n-k,j)*D(k+j-1),j=0..n-k), k=1,...,n, n>=1, with D(n):=A000166(n).

R(n,k) = R(n,k-1) - R(n-1,k-1), R(0,0)=1, R(n,1)=(n-1)!.

Example

Triangle begins:
  [1];
  [1,0];
  [1,0,1];
  [2,1,1,2];
  [6,4,3,2,9];
  [24,18,14,11,9,44];
  ...
R(4,2)=4 from the four rank k=2 partitions of 4 elements (3,2,1,4), (3,2,4,1), (4,2,1,3) and (4,2,3,1).
