FORMULA
G(n,k)= (2^(n-k))*G(n,n)=(2^(n-k))*A081567(n-1), G(0,0) = 1
EXAMPLE
G(3,2) = 6 because there are exactly 6 idempotent order-preserving partial transformations (on a 3-element chain) of waist 2, namely: (2)->(2), (1,2)->(1,2), (1,2)->(2,2),(1,3)->(3,3), (2,3)->(2,2), (2,3)->(3,3) - the mappings are coordinate-wise
