Also, T(n,k) is the number of words of length k, x(1)x(2)...x(k), on the alphabet {0,1,...,n}, such that, for i=2,...,k, x(i)=either x(i-1) or x(i)=x(i-1)-1.

For the bijection between arrays and sequences, notice that the i-th column consists of 1's and then 0's, and there are x(i)=0 to n of 1's.

Such a bijection implies that all the empirical/conjectured formulas in A188554, A188555, A188556, A188557, A188558, and A188559 become correct.

Formula

Empirical: T(n,k) = (n+1)*2^(k-1) + (1-k)*2^(k-2) for k < n+3, and then the entire row n is a polynomial of degree n in k.

From Miquel A. Fiol, Feb 06 2024: (Start)

The above empirical formula is correct.

It can be proved that T(n,k) satisfies the recurrence

T(n,k) = Sum_{r=1..n+1} (-1)^(r+1)*binomial(n+1,r)*T(n,k-r)

with initial values

T(n,k) = Sum_{r=0..k-1} (n+1-r)*binomial(k-1,r) for k = 1..n+1. (End)
