%N Triangle of numbers C^(6)(n,k) of combinations with repetitions from n different elements over k for each of them not more than 6 appearances allowed.

%C For k<=5, the triangle coincides with triangle A213744.

%C We have over columns of the triangle: T(n,0)=1, T(n,1)=n, T(n,2)=A000217(n) for n>1, T(n,3)=A000292(n) for n>=3, T(n,4)=A000332(n) for n>=7, T(n,5)=A000389(n) for n>=9, T(n,6)=A000579(n) for n>=11, T(n,7)=A063267 for n>=5, T(n,8)=A063417 for n>=6, T(n,9)=A063418 for n>=7.

%F C^(6)(n,k)=sum{r=0,...,floor(k/7)}(-1)^r*C(n,r)*C(n-7*r+k-1, n-1).

%F A generalization. The numbers C^(t)(n,k) of combinations with repetitions from n different elements over k, for each of them not more than t>=1 appearances allowed, are enumerated by the formula:

%F C^(t)(n,k)=sum{r=0,...,floor(k/(t+1))}(-1)^r*C(n,r)*C(n-(t+1)*r+k-1, n-1).

%F In case t=1, it is binomial coefficient C^(t)(n,k)=C(n,k), and we have the combinatorial identity: sum{r=0,...,floor(k/2)}(-1)^r*C(n,r)*C(n-2*r+k-1, n-1)=C(n,k). On the other hand, if t=n, then r=0, and for the corresponding numbers of combinations with repetitions without a restriction on appearances of elements we obtain a well known formula C(n+k-1, n-1) (cf. triangle A059481).

%F In addition, note that, if k<=t, then C^(t)(n,k)=C(n+k-1, n-1). Therefore, triangle {C^(t+1)(n,k)} coincides with the previous triangle {C^(t)(n,k)} for k<=t.
