A237018 Number A(n,k) of partitions of the k-dimensional hypercube resulting from a sequence of n bisections, each of which splits any part perpendicular to any of the axes; square array A(n,k), n>=0, k>=0, read by antidiagonals. 12

COMMENTS
The g.f. given below is a generalization of formulas given by Murray R. Bremner and Sara Madariaga in A236339 and A236342. According to them A(n,k) also gives the number of distinct monomials of degree n+1 in the universal algebra with k nonassociative binary products {*1,...,*k} related only by the interchange laws from k-category theory: (a *i b) *j (c *i d) = (a *j c) *i (b *j d) for i,j in {1,...,k} and i<j.
These numbers can be regarded as (one of many possible definitions of) higher-dimensional Catalan numbers. - N. J. A. Sloane, Feb 12 2014

FORMULA
G.f. G_k of column k satisfies: (-1)^k*x = Sum_{i=0..k} (-1)^i*C(k,i)*(G_k*x)^(2^(k-i)).
A(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k} C(k,i) * A255982(n,i). - Alois P. Heinz, Mar 13 2015
