FORMULA
T(n,k) = T(n,-k).
T(n,k) = - Sum_{j=1..n} (-1)^j * binomial(n-|k|,j) * (n-j)!.
T(n,k) = |k|! * (n-|k|)! [x^(n-|k|)] (1-exp(-x))/(1-x)^(|k|+1).
Sum_{k=1-n..n-1} T(n,k) = A306455(n).
T(n,k) = |k|! * A306234(n,k).
EXAMPLE
The 6 permutations p of [3]: 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321 have (signed) displacement sets {p(i)-i, i=1..3}: {0}, {-1,0,1}, {-1,0,1}, {-2,1}, {-1,2}, {-2,0,2}, respectively. Numbers -2 and 2 occur twice, -1 and 1 occur thrice, and 0 occurs four times. So row n=3 is [2, 3, 4, 3, 2].
Triangle T(n,k) begins:
: 1 ;
: 1, 1, 1 ;
: 2, 3, 4, 3, 2 ;
: 6, 10, 13, 15, 13, 10, 6 ;
: 24, 42, 56, 67, 76, 67, 56, 42, 24 ;
: 120, 216, 294, 358, 411, 455, 411, 358, 294, 216, 120 ;
MAPLE
b:= proc(s, d) option remember; (n-> `if`(n=0, add(x^j, j=d),
add(b(s minus {i}, d union {n-i}), i=s)))(nops(s))
end:
T:= n-> (p-> seq(coeff(p, x, i), i=1-n..n-1))(b({$1..n}, {})):
seq(T(n), n=1..8);
# Alternative:
T:= (n, k)-> -add((-1)^j*binomial(n-abs(k), j)*(n-j)!, j=1..n):
seq(seq(T(n, k), k=1-n..n-1), n=1..9);
MATHEMATICA
