%C Diagonal of array T(n,k) = binomial(kn,n)/(1+(k-1)n).

%C Number of paths up and left from (0,0) to (n^2-n,n) where x/y <= n-1 for all intermediate points. - _Henry Bottomley_, Dec 25 2003

%C Empirical: In the ring of symmetric functions over the fraction field Q(q, t), letting s(1^n) denote the Schur function indexed by (1^n), a(n) is equal to the coefficient of s(n) in nabla^(n)s(1^n) with q=t=1, where nabla denotes the "nabla operator" on symmetric functions, and s(n) denotes the Schur function indexed by the integer partition (n) of n. - _John M. Campbell_, Apr 06 2018
