%N Triangle of the number of nondegenerate k-gons having perimeter n and whose sides are nondecreasing, for k=3..n.

%C For a k-gon to be nondegenerate, the longest side must be shorter than the sum of the remaining sides.

%C T(n,k) = number of partitions of n into k parts (k >= 3) in which all parts are less than n/2. Also T(n,k) = number of partitions of 2*n into k parts in which all parts are even and less than n. - _L. Edson Jeffery_, Mar 19 2012
