COMMENTS

Sum of rows of R(n, k) is A007051, R(n,k) = |A118801|.

Row-reversed variant of A119258. - R. J. Mathar, Jun 20 2011

Pairwise sums of row terms starting from the right yields triangle A038207. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 06 2012

FORMULA

R(n,k)=sum(j=p,n,C(n,j*C(j-1,p-1)).

R(n,k)=2*R(n-1,k)+R(n-1,k-1). R(n,0)= 1 = R(n,n)

n-th row = top row of M^n, deleting the zeros; where M is an infinite square production matrix with (1,1,1,...) as the superdiagonal and (1,2,2,2,...) as the main diagonal. - Gary W. Adamson, Feb 06, 2012

EXAMPLE

R(3,2) = 5 because in a regular semigroup of transformations the Green's R-classes coincide with convex partitions of subsets of {1,2,3} with convex classes (modulo the subsets): {1}, {2}/{1}, {3}/{2}, {3}/{1,2}, {3}/{1}, {2,3}
