%N Triangle T(n,k) of k-block T_0-tricoverings of an n-set, n >= 3, k = 0..2*n.

%C A covering of a set is a tricovering if every element of the set is covered by exactly three blocks of the covering. A covering of a set is a T_0-covering if for every two distinct elements of the set there exists a block of the covering containing one but not the other element.

%F E.g.f. for k-block T_0-tricoverings of an n-set is exp(-x+1/2*x^2+1/3*x^3*y)*Sum_{i=0..inf}(1+y)^binomial(i, 3)*exp(-1/2*x^2*(1+y)^i)*x^i/i!.
