COMMENTS
Also, row n gives the number of unlabeled bicolored graphs having k nodes of one color and n-k nodes of the other color; the color classes are not interchangeable.
Also the number of principal transversal matroids (also known as fundamental transversal matroids) of size n and rank k (originally enumerated by Brylawski). - Gordon F. Royle, Oct 30 2007
This sequence is also obtained if we read the array A(m,n) = number of inequivalent m X n binary matrices by antidiagonals, where equivalence means permutations of rows or columns (m>=0, n>=0) [Kerber]. - N. J. A. Sloane, Sep 01 2013

FORMULA
A(m,n) = Sum_{p in P(m), q in P(n)} 2^Sum_{i in p, j in q} gcd(i,j) / (N(p) N(q)) where P(m) are the partition of m (see e.g., A036036), N(p) = Product_{distinct parts x in p} x^m(x)*m(x)!, m(x) = multiplicity of x in p. [corrected by Anders Kaseorg, Oct 04 2024]
EXAMPLE
The triangle T(n,k) begins:
1;
1, 1;
1, 2, 1;
1, 3, 3, 1;
1, 4, 7, 4, 1;
1, 5, 13, 13, 5, 1;
1, 6, 22, 36, 22, 6, 1;
...
For example, there are 36 graphs on 6 nodes with a distinguished bipartite block with 3 nodes.
The array A(m,n) (m>=0, n>=0) (see Comments) begins:
