COMMENTS

One could extend the triangle to include values for m=0 and/or n=0, but these correspond to empty sets and would always be 0. The first odd value for odd m and 1<n<m is T[13,5] = 651.

FORMULA

T[m,m] = A133872(m-1), T[m,1] = A004526(m+1).

EXAMPLE

The triangle starts:

(m=1) 1,

(m=2) 1,1,

(m=3) 2,2,0,

(m=4) 2,4,2,0,

(m=5) 3,6,4,2,1,

...

T(5,3)=4, since the set {1,2,3,4,5} has four 3-element subsets having an odd sum of elements, namely {1,2,4}, {1,3,5}, {2,3,4} and {2,4,5}.

PROG

(PARI) T(n, k)=sum( i=2^k-1, 2^n-2^(n-k), norml2(binary(i))==k & sum(j=0, n\2, bittest(i, 2*j))%2 )
