COMMENT

Also the number of involutions of {1,2,...,n} with exactly k fixed points and which contain the pattern 312 exactly once (n>=4, 2<=k<=n-2). Example: T(5,3)=2 because we have 15342 and 42315 (also the involution 52341 has 3 fixed points but it contains 3 times the pattern 312: 523, 524, and 534).

FORMULA

T(n,k)=2^((n-k-6)/2)*(k-1)[binomial((n+k)/2-2, (n-k)/2-1)+2binomial((n+k)/2-3, (n-k)/2-1)+binomial((n+k)/2-4, (n-k)/2-1)] for n>=4, n+k even; T(n,k)=0 otherwise.

EXAMPLE

T(5,3)=2 because we have 15342 and 42315 (also the involution 52341 has 3 fixed points but it contains 3 times the pattern 231: 231, 241, and 341).

MAPLE

T:=proc(n, k) if n>=4 and n+k mod 2 = 0 then (k-1)*2^((n-k-6)/2)*(binomial((n+k)/2-2, (n-k)/2-1)+2*binomial((n+k)/2-3, (n-k)/2-1)+binomial((n+k)/2-4, (n-k)/2-1)) else 0 fi end: for n from 4 to 16 do seq(T(n, k), k=2..n-2) od; # yields sequence in triangular form
