FORMULA

T(n,k)=sum(j=1,k,C(k+j-1,j-1) for all n >=k.

Sum of rows of T(n, k) is A001906(n+1) and T(n, k) = A001519(k+1) for all n>=k.

EXAMPLE

T(4,3) = 5 because there are exactly 5 idempotent order-preserving full transformations (on a 4-element chain) of waist 3, namely: the five possible ordered images (1,1,3,3), (1,2,3,3), (1,3,3,3), (2,2,3,3), (3,3,3,3) of (1,2,3,4).
