%N Triangle T(n,k) giving number of nonisomorphic simple matroids of rank k on n labeled points (n >= 2, 2 <= k <= n).
%C To make this sequence a triangular array, we assume n >= 2 and 2 <= k <= n. According to the references, however, we have T(0,0) = T(1, 1) = 1, and 0 in all other cases. - _Petros Hadjicostas_, Oct 09 2019
