%F Number of minimal m-covers of a labeled n-set that cover k points of that set uniquely is C(n, k)*S(k, m)*(2^m-m-1)^(n-k), where S(k, m) are Stirling numbers of the second kind. Here m=2.

%F From _Robert Israel_, Feb 18 2016: (Start)

%F T(n,k) = C(n,k) * (2^(k-1)-1).

%F G.f. of triangle: x^2*y^2/((1-x)*(1-x-x*y)*(1-x-2*x*y)). (End)
