COMMENT

Triangle T(n,k) (n>=1, 1<=k<=n) giving number of ways of winning with (n-k+1)st card in the generalized "Game of Thirteen" with n cards.

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Apr 21 2009: (Start)

T(n-1,k-1) is the number of non-derangements of {1,2,...,n} having largest fixed point equal to k. Example: T(3,1)=3 because we have 1243, 4213, and 3241.

Mirror image of A047920.

Sum[(k+1)*T(n,k), k=0..n]=A000166(n+2) (the derangement numbers).

FORMULA

T(n, k) = Sum_{ j>= 0} (-1)^j*binomial(n-k, j)*(n-j)! . - Philippe DELEHAM (kolotoko(AT)wanadoo.fr), May 29 2005

Contribution from Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 18 2009: (Start)

T(n,k)=Sum[d(n-j)*binom(k, j), j=0..k], where d(i)=A000166(i) are the derangement numbers.

MAPLE

d[0] := 1: for n to 15 do d[n] := n*d[n-1]+(-1)^n end do: T := proc (n, k) if k <= n then sum(binomial(k, j)*d[n-j], j = 0 .. k) else 0 end if end proc: for n from 0 to 9 do seq(T(n, k), k = 0 .. n) end do; # yields sequence in triangular form [From Emeric Deutsch (deutsch(AT)duke.poly.edu), Jul 18 2009]

CROSSREFS

Row sums give A002467. Diagonals include A000166, A000255, A055790, A000142.

See A047920 for another version.

(When seen as array) Main diagonal is in A033815.
