A261137 Number of set partitions B'_t(n) of {1,2,...,t} into at most n parts, so that no part contains both 1 and t, or both i and i+1 with 1 <= i < t; triangle B'_t(n), t>=0, 0<=n<=t, read by rows. 5

%N Number of set partitions B'_t(n) of {1,2,...,t} into at most n parts, so that no part contains both 1 and t, or both i and i+1 with 1 <= i < t; triangle B'_t(n), t>=0, 0<=n<=t, read by rows.

%C B'_t(n) is the number of sequences of t non-identity top-to-random shuffles that leave a deck of n cards invariant.

%C B'_t(n) = <chi^t, 1_{Sym_n}> where chi is the degree n-1 constituent of the natural permutation character of the symmetric group Sym_n. This gives a combinatorial interpretation of B'_t(n) using sequences of box moves on Young diagrams.

%C B'_t(t) is the number of set partitions of a set of size t into parts of size at least 2 (A000296); this is also the number of cyclically spaced partitions of a set of size t.

%C B'_t(n) = B'_t(t) if n > t.
