From Torlach Rush, Jun 18 2020: (Start)
Let m(n,k) be the number of idempotent n X n (0,1) matrices with k entries equal to 1. Then:
k | m(n,k)
-----|------------------------------------------------------
0 | 1
1 | n
2 | A028895(n - 1)
3 | 19 * A000292(n - 2)
4 | ((n - 3) (n - 2) (n - 1) (35 n - 124))/8
5 | ((n - 4) (n - 3) (n - 2) (n - 1) (631 n - 2675))/120
...
Conjecture: There is no closed form expression for this sequence.
