Permutations of type \(B\) with fixed number of descents and minus signs (Q668086)

Summary: We study three dimensional array of numbers \(B(n,k,j)\), \(0\leq j\), \(k\leq n\), where \(B(n,k,j)\) is the number of type \(B\) permutations of order \(n\) with \(k\) descents and \(j\) minus signs. We prove in particular, that \(b(n,k,j):=B(n,k,j)/\binom{n}{j}\) is an integer and provide two combinatorial interpretations for these numbers.
