T(n,k) is the number of set partitions of [n] into k blocks of size at least 2. Compare with A008277 (blocks of size at least 1) and A059022 (blocks of size at least 3). See also A200091. Reading the table by diagonals gives A134991. The row generating polynomials are the Mahler polynomials s_n(-x). See [Roman, 4.9]. Rows are of lengths 1,1,2,2,3,3,....
For a relation to decomposition of spin correlators see Table 2 of the Delfino and Vito paper. - Tom Copeland, Nov 11 2012

FORMULA
|
E.g.f. with additional constant 1: exp(t*(exp(x)-1-x)) = 1+t*x^2/2!+t*x^3/3!+(t+3*t^2)*x^4/4!+....
Recurrence relation: T(n+1,k) = k*T(n,k) + n*T(n-1,k-1).
T(n,k) = A134991(n-k,k); A134991(n,k) = T(n+k,k).
More generally, if S_r(n,k) counts the number of set partitions of [n] into k blocks of size at least r then we have the recurrence S_r(n+1,k)=k*S_r(n,k)+binomial(n,r-1)*S_r(n-r+1,k-1) (for this sequence, r=2), with associated e.g.f.: sum(S_r(n,k)*u^k*(t^n/n!), n>=0, k>=0)=exp(u*(e^t-sum(t^i/i!, i=0..r-1))).
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k} (-1)^i*binomial(n, i)*[sum_{j=0..k-i} (-1)^j*(k -i -j)^(n-i)/(j!*(k-i-j)!)] - David Wasserman, Jun 13 2007
G.f.: (R(0)-1)/(x^2*y), where R(k) = 1 - (k+1)*y*x^2/( (k+1)*y*x^2 -(1- k*x)*(1-x - k*x)/R(k+1) ); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Nov 09 2013

EXAMPLE
|
There are 3 ways of partitioning a set N of cardinality 4 into 2 blocks each of cardinality at least 2, so S_2(4,2)=3. Table begins
.n\k.|..1....2.....3.....4
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =

..7..|..1...56...105
..8..|..1..119...490...105

Reading the table by diagonals produces the triangle A134991.
