%N Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the number of non-crossing set partitions of {1..4n} into n sets of 4 with k of the sets being a contiguous set of elements.

%C T(n,k) is also the number of non-crossing configurations with exactly k polyomino matchings in a generalized game of memory played on the path of length 4n, see [Young].

%C For the case of partitions of {1..3n} into sets of 3, see A091320.

%C For the case of partitions of {1..2n} into sets of 2, see A001263.

%F G.f.: G(t, z) satisfies z*G^4 - (1 + z - t*z)*G + 1 = 0.
