Triangle read by rows: T(n,k) is the coefficient of t^k (k>=1) in the polynomial P[n,t] defined by P[1,t]=t, P[2,t]=t^2, P[n,t]=tP[n-1,t]+t^2*P^2[n-2,1].

COMMENTS
T(n,k) is the number of certain types of trees (see the Duke et al. reference) of height n and having k edges from the root to the first branch node (k edges if there are no branch nodes). Row sums yield A000278.

FORMULA
T(n, k)=0 for k>n; T(n, n)=1; T(n, 1)=0 for n>=2; T(n, k)=A000278(n-k)^2 for 2<=k<=n-1.
EXAMPLE
P[3,t]=t^2+t^3; therefore T(3,1)=0, T(3,2)=1, T(3,3)=1.
