A164366 a(n,k) is the number of permutations of n elements with transposition distance equal to k. Here, a transposition refers to the exchange of two adjacent intervals, and NOT to an exchange of two nonnecessary adjacent elements. The transposition distance is the minimum number of such moves required to transform a given permutation into the identity permutation. +0

EXAMPLE

The number of permutations of 4 elements with transposition distance 3 is 1, since only (4 3 2 1) cannot be sorted using fewer transpositions (upper bound can be easily found by hand; for the lower bound, see the paper by Bafna and Pevzner).
