%F From _Petros Hadjicostas_, Oct 10 2019: (Start)

%F T(n,0) = 1 for n >= 0.

%F T(n,1) = 2^n - 1 for n >= 1. [Dukes (2004), Theorem 2.1 (ii).

%F T(n,2) = Bell(n+1) - 2^n = A000110(n+1) - A000079(n) for n >= 2. [Dukes (2004), Theorem 2.1 (ii).]

%F T(n,k) = Sum_{m = k..n} binomial(n,m) * A058711(m,k) for n >= k. [Dukes (2004), see the equations before Theorem 2.1.]

%F (End)

%e Triangle T(n,k) (with rows n >= 0 and columns k >= 0) begins as follows:

%e 1;

%e 1, 1;

%e 1, 3, 1;

%e 1, 7, 7, 1;

%e 1, 15, 36, 15, 1;

%e 1, 31, 171, 171, 31, 1;

%e 1, 63, 813, 2053, 813, 63, 1;

%e 1, 127, 4012, 33442, 33442, 4012, 127, 1;

%e 1, 255, 20891, 1022217, 8520812, 1022217, 20891, 255, 1;

%e ...

%Y Row sums give A058673.

%Y Columns include (truncated versions of) A000012 (k=0), A000225 (k=1), A058681 (k=2), A058687 (k=3).
