COMMENTS
There are 2 versions of Euler's triangle:
* A008292 Classic version of Euler's triangle used by Comtet (1974).
* A173018 Version of Euler's triangle used by Graham, Knuth and Patashnik in Concrete Math. (1990).
Euler's triangle rows and columns indexing conventions:
* A008292 The rows and columns of the Eulerian triangle are both indexed starting from 1. (Classic version: used in the classic books by Riordan and Comtet.)
* A173018 The rows and columns of the Eulerian triangle are both indexed starting from 0. (Graham et al.)
Number of permutations of n letters with exactly 4 descents. - Neven Juric, Jan 21 2010

FORMULA
a(n) = 5^(n + 4) - (n + 5)*4^(n + 4) + (1/2)*(n + 4)*(n + 5)*3^(n + 4) - (1/6)*(n + 3)*(n + 4)*(n + 5)*2^(n + 4) + (1/24)*(n + 2)*(n + 3)*(n + 4)*(n + 5). - Randall L Rathbun, Jan 22 2002
E.g.f.: (1/24)*exp(x)*(x^4 + 8*x^3 + 12*x^2) - 4*exp(2*x)*(2*x^3/3 + 2*x^2 + x) + 3*exp(3*x)*(9*x^2/2 + 6*x + 1) - 8*exp(4*x)*(2*x + 1) + 5*exp(5*x). - Wenjin Woan, Oct 21 2007
G.f.: (1 + 22*x - 244*x^2 + 422*x^3 + 2575*x^4 - 12012*x^5 + 17828*x^6 - 5664*x^7 - 9552*x^8 + 6912*x^9)*(x/(1-x))^5 / Product_{j=1..4} (1 - (6-j)*x)^j. See the recurrence given in an Apr 03 2017 comment on A123125. - Wolfdieter Lang, Apr 03 2017
