COMMENTS
This is the number of "k-horizontal-domino" configurations in the game of memory played on a 2 X n rectangular array, see [Young].

FORMULA
G.f.: Sum_{j>=0} (2*j-1)!! y^j/(1-(1-z)*y)/(1+(1-z)*y)^(2*j+1).
E.g.f.: exp((sqrt(1 - 2 y)-1) (1 - z))/sqrt(1 - 2 y) - exp((y - 2) (1 - z)) sqrt(Pi/2) sqrt(1 - z) (-erfi(sqrt(2) sqrt(1 - z)) + erfi(((1 + sqrt(1 - 2 y)) sqrt(1 - z))/sqrt(2))).
EXAMPLE
The first few rows of T(n,k) are:
1;
1, 0;
2, 0, 1;
7, 4, 4, 0;
43, 38, 21, 2, 1;
...
For n=2, let the vertex set of P_2 X P_2 be {A,B,C,D} and the edge set be {AB, AC, BD, CD}, where AB and CD are horizontal edges. For k=0, we may place the pairs on A, C and B, D or on A, D and B, C, hence T(2,0) = 2. If we place a pair on one of the horizontal edges we are forced to place the other pair on the remaining horizontal edge, hence T(2,1)=0 and T(2,2)=1.
