COMMENTS
Row n >= 3 contains 2*n-3 terms.
c-nets are 3-connected rooted planar maps. This array also counts simple triangulations.
Table in Mullin & Schellenberg has incorrect values T(14,14) = 43494961412, T(15,13) = 21697730849, T(15,14) = 131631305614, T(15,15) = 556461655783. - Sean A. Irvine, Sep 28 2015

FORMULA
T(n,k) = Sum_{i=0..k-1} Sum_{j=0..n-1} (-1)^(i+j+1) * ((i+j+2)!/(2!*i!*j!)) * (binomial(2*n, k-i-1) * binomial(2*k, n-j-1) - 4 * binomial(2*n-1, k-i-2) * binomial(2*k-1, n-j-2)) for all n >= 3, k >= 3.
A106651(n+1) = Sum_{k=1..2*n-3} T(n,k) for n >= 3.
A000287(n) = Sum_{i=1+floor((n+2)/3)..floor(2*n/3)-1} T(i,n-i).
A001506(n) = T(n,n), A001507(n) = T(n+1,n), A001508(n) = T(n+2,n).
A000260(n-2) = T(n, 2*n-3) for n>=3.
