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]. - Peter Bala, Dec 04 2011
Rows are of lengths 1,1,2,2,3,3,.... (This suggests that the diagonals are rows of a full lower triangular matrix. - Tom Copeland, May 01 2017)
For a relation to decomposition of spin correlators see Table 2 of the Delfino and Vito paper. - Tom Copeland, Nov 11 2012

FORMULA
|
T(n,k) = abs(A137375(n,k)).
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) gives 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
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..min(n,k)} (-1)^i * binomial(n,i) * stirling2(n-i,k-i) = Sum_{i=0..min(n,k)} (-1)^i * A007318(n,i) * A008277(n-i,k-i). - Max Alekseyev, Feb 27 2017

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
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
..2..|..1
..3..|..1
..4..|..1....3
..5..|..1...10
..6..|..1...25....15
..7..|..1...56...105
..8..|..1..119...490...105
..9..|..1..246..1918..1260
...
Reading the table by diagonals produces the triangle A134991.
