Irregular triangle read by rows: T(n,k) (n >= 1, 0 <= k <= [n/2]) = number of permutations of 1..n with [n/2]-k runs of consecutive pairs up and down (divided by 2).
G.f. for number of permutations of 1..n by number of runs of consecutive pairs up and down is Sum(n!*(((1-y)*(2*x^2-x^3)-x)/((1-y)*x^2-1))^n,n = 0 .. infinity), cf. A010029. - Vladeta Jovovic, Nov 23 2007
