%N Triangle of Bessel numbers read by rows. Row n gives T(n,n), T(n,n-1), T(n,n-2), ..., T(n,1) for n >= 1.

%C T(n,k) = number of partitions of an n-set into k nonempty subsets, each of size at most 2.

%F The Choi-Smith reference gives many further properties and formulas.

%F T(n, k) = T(n-1, k-1) + (n-1)*T(n-2, k-1).
