A226874 Number T(n,k) of n-length words w over a k-ary alphabet {a1, a2, ..., ak} such that #(w,a1) >= #(w,a2) >= ... >= #(w,ak) >= 1, where #(w,x) counts the letters x in word w; triangle T(n,k), n >= 0, 0 <= k <= n, read by rows. 19

%N Number T(n,k) of n-length words w over a k-ary alphabet {a1, a2, ..., ak} such that #(w,a1) >= #(w,a2) >= ... >= #(w,ak) >= 1, where #(w,x) counts the letters x in word w; triangle T(n,k), n >= 0, 0 <= k <= n, read by rows.

%C T(n,k) is the sum of multinomials M(n; lambda), where lambda ranges over all partitions of n into parts that form a multiset of size k.
