Eulerian Number

The number of Permutations of length with Runs, denoted, , or . The Eulerian numbers are given explicitly by the sum

(1)

Making the definition

			(2)
			(3)

together with the Recurrence Relation

(4)

for

then gives

(5)

The arrangement of the numbers into a triangle gives Euler's Triangle, whose entries are 1, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 11, 11, 1,... (Sloane's A008292). Therefore, they represent a sort of generalization of the Binomial Coefficients where the defining Recurrence Relation weights the sum of neighbors by their row and column numbers,respectively.

The Eulerian numbers satisfy

(6)

Eulerian numbers also arise in the surprising context of integrating the Sinc Function, and also in sums of theform

(7)

where

is the Polylogarithm function.
