The row generating polynomials A[n] satisfy A[n] = (5t + 1 + 3t^2)A[n - 1] + (13t^2 + 21t^3 + 5t^4 + 2t)A[n - 2] + ( - 27t^5 - 15t^6 + t^2 - 4t^4 + 4t^3)A[n - 3] + ( - 40t^7 - 9t^8 - 41t^6 - 18t^5 - 3t^4)A[n - 4] + (29t^8 + 21t^10 + 3t^6 + 24t^9 + 14t^7)A[n - 5] + (6t^10 + 5t^12 - t^8 + 19t^11)A[n - 6] + ( - 9t^13 - 2t^11 - 3t^12 - 9t^14)A[n - 7] + ( - t^16 - t^14 + t^15)A[n - 8] + t^18*A[n - 9]
EXAMPLE
T(2,4)=5 because in the graph P_4 X P_2 with vertices a(0,0), b(0,1), c(0,2),
d(0,3),a'(1,0),b'(1,1),c'(1,2),d'(1,3), we have the following 4-matchings
{aa',bb',cc',dd'},{aa',bb',cd,c'd'},{ab,a'b',cc',dd'},{ab,a'b',cd,c'd'} and {aa',bc,b'c',dd'} (perfect matchings, of course).
