%C From _Dennis P. Walsh_, Nov 20 2012: (Start)

%C T(n,k) is the number of functions f:[k]->[2n] such that, if f(x)=f(y) or f(x)=2n+1-f(y), then x=y.

%C We call such functions injective-plus.

%C Equivalently, T(n,k) gives the number of ways to select k couples from n couples, then choose one person from each of the k selected couples, and then arrange those k individuals in a line. For example, T(50,10) is the number of ways to select 10 U.S. senators, one from each of ten different states, and arrange the senators in a reception line for a visiting dignitary. (End)

%F E.g.f. for column k : exp(x)*(2*x)^k.

%F G.f. for column k : (2*x)^k*k!/(1 - x)^(k+1).

%F T(n,k) = 2^(k-n)*Sum_{j = 0..n} (binomial(n,j)T(j,i)T(n-j,k-i). (End)

%F From _Peter Bala_, Feb 20 2016: (Start)

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

%F G.f. Sum_{n >= 1} (2*n*x*t)^(n-1)/(1 - (2*n*t - 1)*x)^n = 1 + (1 + 2*t)*x + (1 + 4*t + 8*t^2)*x^2 + ....

%F E.g.f. exp(x)/(1 - 2*x*t) = 1 + (1 + 2*t)*x + (1 + 4*t + 8*t^2)*x^2/2! + ....

%F E.g.f. for row n: (1 + 2*x)^n

%F Row reversed triangle is the exponential Riordan array [1/(1 - 2*x), x]. (End)

%e 1 10 80 480 1920 3840

%e For n=2 and k=2, T(2,2)=8 since there are exactly 8 functions f from {1,2} to {1,2,3,4} that are injective-plus. Letting f = <f(1),f(2)>, the 8 functions are <1,2>, <1,3>, <2,1>, <2,4>, <3,1>, <3,4>, <4,2>,and <4,3>. - _Dennis P. Walsh_, Nov 20 2012
