COMMENTS

abs(T(n,k))=k!*binomial(n,k)^2=number of k-matchings of the complete bipartite graph K_{n,n}. Example: abs(T(2,2))=2 because in the bipartite graph K_{2,2} with vertex sets {A,B},{A',B'} we have the 2-matchings {AA',BB'} and {AB',BA'}. Row sums of the absolute values yield A002720. - Emeric Deutsch, Dec 25 2004
