A169950 Consider the 2^n monic polynomials f(x) with coefficients 0 or 1 and degree n. Sequence gives triangle read by rows, in which T(n,k) (n>=0) is the number of such polynomials of thickness k (1 <= k <= n+1).

[10] 1,    100,  117,  332,  166,  188,  68,   36,   13,   2,    1;

For n = 3, the eight polynomials, their squares and thicknesses are as follows:
x^3, x^6, 1
x^3+1, x^6+2*x^3+1, 2
x^3+x, x^6+2*x^4+x^2, 2
x^3+x+1, x^6+2*x^4+2*x^3+x^2+2*x+1, 2
x^3+x^2, x^6+2*x^5+x^4, 2
x^3+x^2+1, x^6+2*x^5+2*x^3+x^4+2*x^2+1, 2
x^3+x^2+x, x^6+2*x^5+3*x^4+2*x^3+x^2, 3
x^3+x^2+x+1, x^6+2*x^5+3*x^4+4*x^3+3*x^2+2*x+1, 4
Hence T(3,1) = 1, T(3,2) = 5, T(3,3) = 1, T(3,4) = 1.
