FORMULA

T(n, k)=Sum_{j=0..n} (-1)^j*C(n, j)*C(2^(n-j)-1, k), k=1..2^n-1.

Also T(n, k) = (1/k!)*Sum_{j=0..k} Stirling1(k+1, j+1)*(2^j-1)^n. E.g.f.: Sum(exp(y*(2^n-1))*ln(1+x)^n/n!, n=0..infinity)/(1+x). - Vladeta Jovovic (vladeta(AT)eunet.rs), May 30 2004

Also exp(-y)*Sum((1+x)^(2^n-1)*y^n/n!, n=0..infinity).

EXAMPLE

[1],[1,3,1],[1,12,32,35,21,7,1],...; There are 35 4-covers of a labeled 3-set.
