A144385 Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of partitions of [1, 2, ..., k] into exactly n blocks, each of size 1, 2 or 3 (n >= 0, 0 <= k <= 3n). 13

FORMULA

T(n, k) = T(n - 1, k - 1) + (k - 1)*T(n - 1, k - 2) + (1/2)*(k - 1)*(k - 2)*T(n - 1, k - 3).

E.g.f.: Sum_{ n >= 0, k >= 0 } T(n, k) y^n x^k / k! = exp( y*(x+x^2/2+x^3/6) ). That is, the coefficient of y^n is the e.g.f. for row n. E.g. the e.g.f. for row 2 is (1/2)*(x+x^2/2+x^3/6)^2 = 1*x^2/2! + 3*x^3/3! + 7*x^4/4! + 10*x^5/5! + 10*x^6/6!.

Triangle begins:

[1]

[0, 1, 1, 1]

[0, 0, 1, 3, 7, 10, 10]

[0, 0, 0, 1, 6, 25, 75, 175, 280, 280]

[0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 10, 65, 315, 1225, 3780, 9100, 15400, 15400]

[0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 15, 140, 980, 5565, 26145, 102025, 323400, 800800, 1401400, 1401400]

CROSSREFS

See A144399, A144402, A144417, A111246 for other versions of this triangle.

Column sums give A001680, row sums give A144416. Taking last nonzero entry in each row gives A025035.

Diagonals include A000217, A001296, A027778, A144516; also A025035.

A generalization of the triangle in A144331 (and in several other entries).
