COMMENT

Sum of entries in row n is n! =A000142(n).

Row n contains ceil(n/2) entries.

FORMULA

a(2n,k)=2nk!(2n-k-1)!binom(n,k);

a(2n+1,k)=n!(n+1)!*binom(2n-k+1,n).

EXAMPLE

T(4,2)=8 because we have 1324, 1342, 3124, 3142, 2413, 2431, 4213 and 4231.

T(5,3)=12 because the first 3 entries form a permutation of (1,3,5) (6 choices) and the last 2 entries form a permutation of {2,4} (2 choices).
