Formula

Number of nonnegative integer p X q matrices with no zero rows or columns and with sum of elements equal to n is Sum_{k=0...q} (-1)^k*C(q, k)*m(p, q-k, n) where m(p, q, n)=Sum_{k=0..p} (-1)^k*C(p, k)*C((p-k)*q+n-1, n).

For p=q=3 we get a(n)=C(n + 8, 8) - 6*C(n + 5, 5) + 9*C(n + 3, 3) + 6*C(n + 2, 2) - 18*C(n + 1, 1) + 9=(1/8!)*(n^8 + 36*n^7 + 546*n^6 + 2520*n^5 - 7791*n^4 - 43596*n^3 + 148364*n^2 - 140400*n + 40320).

G.f.: -(9*x^8-54*x^7+132*x^6-171*x^5+135*x^4-78*x^3+36*x^2-9*x+1) / (x-1)^9. - Colin Barker, Jul 13 2013
