COMMENTS

The companion triangle with the denominators is A093559.

Sum(k^(2*(m-1)),k=1..n) = (2*n+1)*sum( Fe(m,k)*(n*(n+1))^(m-1-j),j=0..m-1), m>=2. Sums of even powers of the first n integers >0 as polynomials in u := n*(n+1) (falling powers of u). See bottom of p. 288 of the 1993 Knuth reference.

FORMULA

a(n, m)= numerator(Fe(m, k), with Fe(m, k):=(m-k)*A(m, k)/(2*m*(2*m-1)) with Faulhaber numbers A(m, k):=A093556(m, k)/A093557(m, k) in Knuth's version. From the bottom of p. 288 of the 1993 Knuth reference.
