COMMENT

In other words, T(n,k) is the number of permutations of n letters that are at Hammimg distance k from the identity permutation (Cf. Diaconis, p. 112). - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Mar 02 2007

The sequence d(n) = 1, 0, 1, 2, 9, 44, 265, 1854, 14833, ... (A000166) is the number of derangements, that is, the number of permutations of n distinct, ordered items in which none of the items is in its natural ordered position.

FORMULA

T(0, 0) = 1; d(0) = T(0, 0); for k = n, n-1, ..., 1, T(n, k) = c(n, k) d(n-k) where c(n, k) = n! / [(k!) (n-k)! ]; T(n, 0) = n! - [ T(n, n) + T(n, n-1) + ... + T(n, 1) ]; d(n) = T(n, 0).

T(n,k) = A008290(n,n-k). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), Sep 04 2006

Assuming a uniform distribution on S_n, the mean Hamming distance is n-1 and the variance is 1 (Diaconis, p. 117). - N. J. A. Sloane (njas(AT)research.att.com), Mar 02 2007

EXAMPLE

Assume d(0), d(1), d(2) are given. Then

T(3, 3) = c(3, 3) d(0) = (1) (1) = 1

T(3, 2) = c(3, 2) d(1) = (3) (0) = 0

T(3, 1) = c(3, 1) d(2) = (3) (1) = 3

T(3, 0) = 3! - [ 1 + 0 + 3 ] = 6 - 4 = 2

d(3) = T(3, 0)

MATHEMATICA

t[0, 0] = 1; t[n_, k_] := Binomial[n, k]*k!*Sum[(-1)^j/j!, {j, 0, k}]; Flatten[ Table[ t[n, k], {n, 0, 10}, {k, 0, n}]] (from Robert G. Wilson v Nov 04 2004)

PROGRAM

This program generates the number of partial derangements T(n, k) for n = 0, 1, ..., 8 and k = n, n-1, ..., 0. Let T(0, 0) = 1 Let d(0) = T(0, 0) For n = 1 to 8 Let PartialSum = 0 For k = n to 1 Step -1 Let c(n, k) = Factorial(n) / (Factorial(k) * Factorial(n-k)) Let T(n, k) = c(n, k) * d(n-k) Let PartialSum = PartialSum + T(n, k) Next k Let T(n, 0) = Factorial(n) - PartialSum Let d(n) = T(n, 0) Next n
