COMMENT

a(n,k) is also the number of ways to express a given (n+1)-cycle as the product of an (n+1)-cycle and a permutation with k cycles (see Doignon and Labarre). a(n,n+1-2k) is the number of permutations of n elements whose block-interchange distance is k (see Christie, Doignon and Labarre).

FORMULA

a(n,k)=S(n+2,k)/binom(n+2,2) if n-k is odd, and 0 otherwise. Here, S(n,k) is the Stirling number of the first kind, and binom(n,k) is the binomial coefficient (see Bona and Flynn).
