Andrews, Theory of Partitions, (1976), discussion of multisets.
Let a = a_1,a_2,...,a_n be a sequence on the alphabet {1,2,...,n}. Scan a from left to right and create an n-permutation by noting the POSITION of the elements as you come to them in order from least to greatest. See example. T(n,k) is the number of sequences that correspond to such a permutation having exactly n-k descents. [From Geoffrey Critzer, May 19 2010]

If a = 3,1,1,2,4,3 the corresponding 6-permutation is 2,3,4,1,6,5 because the first 1 is in the 2nd position, the second 1 is in the 3rd position,the 2 is in the 4th position, the first 3 is in the first position, the next 3 is in the 6th position and the 4 is in the 5th position of the sequence a.
